Best tools for collecting/managing emails in 2024?


I'm spinning up a landing page where people can sign up for our newsletter. What are your favorite tools for email collection/management?

Formspark seems to be the leading open-source option and Formspree appears to be the defacto closed source(great UX).

Two questions that might help narrow down the options

1. Will you prefer to send the e-mails via the same platform you collect?

2. Will the signed up people be in the same pool as the future users, or will they exist as a seperate pool? So newsletter-subscribers vs. app-users.

Is there a reason you don't just use the built in form of your bulk mail provider (eg Mailchimp)? That makes subscriptions, opt-ins, and unsubs/changes a lot easier, since the provider manages all that for you.

Otherwise Google Forms just works and easily saves to a spreadsheet.

I still use Mailchimp to be honest, I haven't switched. EmailOctopus seems good as well.
