The list

The best email & marketing plugins.

The split that matters: self-hosted (data stays in WordPress) versus SaaS (more power, monthly bills that grow with your list).

1

Klaviyo Klaviyo

The ecommerce email/SMS heavyweight — deep Woo data sync and the strongest flow builder in the game.

3

AutomateWoo Woo

The official automation engine — abandoned carts, win-backs, review requests and birthday flows, all inside WordPress.

4

MailPoet Automattic / Woo

Email entirely inside WordPress — newsletters, Woo emails and automations without leaving wp-admin. Woo-owned.

5

FluentCRM WPManageNinja

Self-hosted CRM and automation — own your list, pay once a year, no per-contact pricing.

6

Omnisend Omnisend

Ecommerce email + SMS with pre-built Woo workflows — the Klaviyo alternative with gentler pricing.

7

Brevo Brevo

The ex-Sendinblue platform — email, SMS and a generous free tier priced by sends, not list size.

Pricing models, features and ownership change; always confirm on the plugin’s own page, check compatibility with your WooCommerce version, and test on staging first. “Source: WooCommerce.com” means sold through the official Woo Marketplace.
