No per-contact fees, no hidden costs, just one predictable monthly amount. I don't have to be afraid then when I add customers my bill is going to creep up. The AI handles the design part, which is what I was dreading most. I tell it we're offering a special on airport pickups, and it creates a clean template that is better than anything I would make on my own. This industry has gotten tough with all the competition from rideshare, and this is a great way to stay top of mind for my customers. > > **Cons**: Using this app on my phone is something l would rather not do since l do not generally use my phone for reviewing. > > I tried Mailchimp a few years back but got overwhelmed by all the template choices and gave up. I have all these contacts in my POS though and it feels wrong to not use them. Found AlpacaRelay because their Instagram post stood out. What sold me was the straightforward pricing, flat monthly cost, no surprises when my list grows. I don't have to talk to a sales rep or worry about my bill jumping around. ----- ### "Fair pricing with no per contact surprises" — 5.0/5 > **Daniellle** | *19 May 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The pricing is straightforward. I just pay a monthly fee and haven't had any hidden costs or per-contact charges. I know exactly what I'm paying each month, which is huge when you've been burned before. I used another tool before (the big monkey in the room) and it was crazy how the costs can sneak up on you as your list grows. The Alpaca free tier let me test things out without putting down a card, which I liked since I was skeptical at first. The quality is solid for the price. I tried cheaper options and ended up spending more time fixing bad emails than I saved on the subscription. The AI writes decent emails for our seasonal promotions and service announcements, which saves me a couple hours a week. > > **Cons**: Some advanced features take time to learn, and the template customization options could be improved. > > I'd been with my old platform for three years watching the bill climb every few months. I got tired of it. AlpacaRelay's flat pricing meant I could actually budget and stop getting surprised at renewal time. ----- ### "Actually helps write the emails, not just templates" — 5.0/5 > **Alessia** | *15 June 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The chat is built right into the editor, which makes all the difference. I just type what we're announcing, new pickleball clinics, court closures, whatever, and it drafts everything. What surprised me is that you can keep talking to it. Asked it to make the subject line more urgent, then to adjust the tone for beginners versus advanced players. It remembers the conversation and builds on what you talked about before. My click rates went from around 10% to 28% because I'm actually sending relevant emails now instead of generic blasts. > > **Cons**: There are no major issues reported so far, though new users may need a short adjustment period to get comfortable with the AI-assisted workflow. > > I run a tennis club in Boston with about 3800 members. Used to spend Sunday nights wrestling with my old platform, editing the same template over and over for tournament announcements and class schedules. Was playing with a member who mentioned this tool. She said her signup rates jumped after switching. I was skeptical but desperate. Five months in, I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. ----- ### "Dropped our $1800/month agency for this" — 5.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *26 May 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The pricing makes sense for a small business like mine. Tested the free version first, which is great because I could see the quality right away. No per-contact fees means I don't stress about growing our list from our Square POS and booking system. I didn't think the agency emails were any better even after thousands of dollars. Here I just describe what I want and it handles the design. Way cheaper than hiring someone and it actually produces better results. > > **Cons**: There's no mobile app and it doesn't work great to edit on your phone. I usually manage email on my computer anyways but it would be nice to have the option. > > I tried out an agency to spin up an email campaign for me. I only stuck with them a few months because it was so expensive for what they did. Found this tool through a Facebook group where another shop owner mentioned using AI for their email. Two months in and I'm handling all our email myself. I create all my templates in AlpacaRelay, and then my booking system takes them and runs all the appointment reminders, receipts and promos. ----- ### "Professional Email Design That Still Feels Like Us" — 5.0/5 > **Tyler** | *16 May 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool is really easy to use. I gave it a template for online market place I have used many time to test this out and the tool made it look much more professional. My logo and my colors are still there it still feels like me. I used to scorer tool to pick the changes I wanted and It helped suggest which ones really mattered. I'm already seeing better conversion. I wish I knew about this sooner. > > **Cons**: The interface for adding my social media links could use a little work. I didn't find that as easy to use as the rest of the tool. I've seen other tools that have a simple dropdown menu for picking your socials, and I hope that gets added here too. > > When my email are not working I can use the scoring features on AlpacaRelay to help me understand how to improve. I had my action buttons too low and it suggested I move them up. It helped me fix some text that was hard to read. It even gave me some tips to reduce bounce rate which helped. The campaign performed better as soon as I added the new email design, but it still feels like it stayed true to our look and feel. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1094785/AlpacaRelay?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1094785/AlpacaRelay) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
