Sends, free plans and what each one counts
Paid Flodesk Lite, Pro and Everything include unlimited email sends. MailerLite Comfort includes 10 times the subscriber tier ceiling in monthly sends, which is 100,000 emails at 10,000 subscribers for $89. Power removes the send cap under fair use.
MailerLite. The free plan covers 250 active subscribers and 2,500 emails a month after the June 2026 cut, matching the free-plan record of 250 contacts. Only active subscribers count toward paid tiers, with a cumulative count inside the billing cycle.
Flodesk. Soft bounced contacts still count toward the tier. Unsubscribed, hard bounced, cleaned, archived and deleted contacts stay off it. The free plan covers forms and landing pages and does not send email. Lite stops at 25,000 active subscribers, then auto-moves to Pro.
