WHAT OUR USERS ARE SAYING
“SureContact is on another level. I love that the heavy lifting happens outside WordPress, and the connector syncing multiple sites into one dashboard is exactly what I needed. I’ve finally ditched MailerLite.”

Dariusz Chrobak

SureContact’s connector-based implementation is way better than MailerPress. No comparison.

Luis Apple

You guys are the GOAT! The speed of implementation is unchallenged to any other software provider l’ve ever used. Simply Amazing! Thanks, I’ll get started with setting everything up using Mailersend now.

I expected SureContact to be a nice-to-have. 67 minutes later, I loved it. It feels like OttoKit’s answer to email.

Kaneisha Grayson
Demo Queen
Incredibly fast and responsive support. List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post headers were implemented immediately, and everything worked perfectly in testing.

Hervé Lancelin

Does exactly what it promises. The focus is squarely on conversion and user experience. The team behind the plugin consistently proves they understand entrepreneurial
needs, and their support is top-tier.
