Pricing Analysis
Plunk's starting price of $1/1,000 emails is well below the transactional email service average of ~$12/mo, making it one of the more budget-friendly options in its category. The free plan (1,000 emails/month) lets you test the platform before committing. It's a reasonable starting point for very small lists, though you'll likely outgrow it once your subscriber count passes the limit.
