Questions and answers
Q: How effective is email?

Q: How is Threadloom Newsletter different from other email newsletter options?
A: Threadloom uses machine learning to select the best content for your email newsletters. This produces higher click rates and more traffic to your forum. Threadloom is also fully integrated with XenForo and vBulletin, and automatically keeps your lists in sync.

Q: What's included in the $10 per month?
A: Everything you need to send newsletters: weekly mail delivery via SendGrid (we set it up for you), marketing tools (list management, reporting), and our curation and segmentation tools.

Kickbox.io and BriteVerify.com normally charge $70-100 per 10,000 contacts. Because we send millions of emails, we purchase in bulk at a significant discount and pass along the savings to you as part of the $10 monthly price.
