MailWizz is the one package here designed around many lists, several delivery servers and — if you want it — customers of your own. That last part changes which licence you need, so it is worth knowing before you buy rather than after.
$89
One-time · $275 if you charge customers for access
MailWizz is commercial PHP campaign software sold under a one-time licence rather than a subscription. Its distinguishing feature is scale of operation: many lists, several configurable delivery servers with routing between them, and the ability to run the whole thing for multiple customers. That last capability is why hosting companies build sending businesses on it — and why the licence choice matters, because charging customers for access requires the $275 Extended licence rather than the $89 Regular one. Like every campaign application here, it does not deliver mail itself: it hands messages to an SMTP server or a relay you configure.

The difference is not features, it is what you are allowed to do with the installation. Buying the wrong one is an expensive correction.
For using MailWizz to manage your own subscribers, lists and campaigns. This is the right licence for a business sending its own marketing, however large the list gets. One-time payment, one month of support included.
Required when you want to charge customers for access to your MailWizz system — that is, when the installation is the product. If your plan is to resell sending, this is the licence, and budgeting for the $89 one would be a mistake.

It is a good product aimed at a specific job. If that is not your job, it is money spent for nothing.
Multi-customer support is the reason MailWizz exists in the form it does. Nothing else here handles it as well.
Splitting volume across relays and your own MTA, with rules about what goes where, is built in rather than bolted on.
A one-time licence against a per-subscriber subscription is straightforward maths once a list is large.
It has been around a long time, and the documentation and community reflect that.
Then you are paying for multi-customer machinery you will never open. listmonk is free and will do it.
It is not open source. Mautic and listmonk are, and neither charges a licence fee.
MailWizz is campaign and list management. Branching journeys and lead scoring are Mautic's territory.
Each licence includes one month. Extending it is a separate purchase, which is worth factoring into the cost.
Segmentation and campaign reporting are database work, so memory and storage speed decide how it feels once your lists are real. Note that the $4.95 plan is SAS, not NVMe — worth knowing if you saw that price advertised next to fast storage somewhere.
Segmentation and campaign reporting are database work; two cores and 4 GB handle real lists.
2 Cores · 4 GB RAM
40 GB NVMe · 10 Gbps Port
