A deadline to meet?
Speak to someone who can help

Your campaign is nearly ready. There’s one thing you need to check, and the send can’t wait. That’s when being able to pick up the phone and speak to a real person makes all the difference.

If you’ve ever explained a problem to a chatbot, followed a string of suggested articles and then waited for a reply that didn’t answer your original question, you’ll know how frustrating support can feel. You end up explaining everything again while your deadline gets closer.

Different time zones can add another delay. When the team handling your question is hours behind your working day, a simple follow-up can stretch into tomorrow. Your campaign schedule shouldn’t have to fit around someone else’s clock.

Speak to someone who knows the software, understands what you’re trying to achieve and can help with the question you actually asked.

Support is unlimited and free with every type of account. Whether you’re exploring your free account, buying pay-as-you-go credits or sending on a monthly plan, you get the same access to our team. Ask a quick question, talk through a campaign or get help finding the next step. You don’t need to upgrade to speak to a person.

More contacts shouldn’t make storage more expensive

Email Blaster’s pricing is built around your sending needs. Keep your subscribers together, grow your audience and choose the allowance that fits your campaigns.

Monthly sending plans start from £12.99 + VAT. For less frequent campaigns, pay-as-you-go credits start from £8.99 + VAT. Compare the complete cost using your expected sends and the tools you need.

UK storage UK people clear answers

If data location is part of your supplier review, Email Blaster’s UK mailing-data infrastructure gives you a clear starting point. Ask us about the arrangements your organisation needs to understand.

UK storage does not replace your own responsibilities around permission, privacy information and secure handling. Mailchimp provides information about its international transfer arrangements; overseas processing is not automatically unlawful. Choose the provider whose arrangements fit your requirements.

Questions about choosing your next platform

Is Email Blaster a UK alternative to Mailchimp?

Yes. Email Blaster is developed and supported in the UK, with customer mailing data stored on its UK infrastructure. Compare the tools, sending plans and supplier arrangements with your requirements.

Does Email Blaster charge for storing contacts?

Email Blaster offers unlimited contact storage without a separate contact-storage charge. Choose a monthly sending allowance or pay-as-you-go credits, and check the current pricing and account terms.

Can I move my Mailchimp contacts to Email Blaster?

You can prepare suitable contact data for import, while preserving permission records, relevant fields, unsubscribes and suppressions. Ask our support team about your current setup before making the move.

Will switching make my marketing GDPR compliant?

A platform change alone does not establish compliance. Your permission basis, privacy information, data use, security and supplier arrangements still need review.
