A worked example
An organisation with 20 000 people that sends 86 000 emails a month.
On Zavon: the Pro plan, R3 499, includes 25 000 people and 30 000 emails. The other 56 000 emails are one 50 000 pack, R1 600, and 6 000 at R35 per 1 000, R210 — R1 810 in all. The month is R5 309, and it includes your website, events and ticketing, forms and approvals.
On Mailchimp Standard: priced by contacts. Published third-party figures for 2026 put it at about $135 a month for 10 000 contacts and about $310 for 25 000, for email alone. Check Mailchimp's current pricing for your list.
Fair comparison
Choose the right tool
Choose an email-only tool if email is all you need, you want its library of third-party integrations, and you are comfortable paying in US dollars.
Choose Reach if your newsletter should know about your website, events, registrations and applications; if newsletters need approval before they go; and if you want SMS and WhatsApp beside email, priced in rand.
