How is UPromote different from Mailchimp / Brevo / SendGrid?
Global SaaS tools mostly charge a monthly fee based on list size (contact-based), whether or not you send anything that month. UPromote charges by usage, so your list size never affects cost, a better fit for Hong Kong SMEs that send irregularly. If you need year-round, high-frequency sending plus cross-channel automation, global SaaS may suit you better; if your sending is irregular and you value local support and PDPO compliance, UPromote is the right choice.
Is there really no monthly fee?
Correct. UPromote is purely usage-based, no monthly fee, no annual fee, no minimum spend. Purchased volume never expires, and unused credit rolls over to your next campaign.
How does it meet PDPO direct-marketing rules?
By default the platform requires that your list has recipient consent; every email carries an unsubscribe link, and opt-outs take effect immediately and are retained for verification. Penalties for breaching PDPO direct-marketing rules reach HK$500,000 and 3 years’ imprisonment; transferring personal data to a third party for gain raises this to HK$1,000,000 and 5 years.
How are Gmail / Yahoo 2026 bulk-sender rules handled?
UPromote configures SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for every sending domain by default, meeting Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft verification rules for senders of 5,000+ emails per day; spam-complaint rates are monitored in the console to avoid rejections. BIMI (with a VMC) is optional.
How do I measure campaign performance?
Within 30 minutes of each send, the console shows delivered counts, bounces (soft vs hard), open rate, click-through rate, and unsubscribes. Reports export to CSV, and if you use GA4 or HubSpot, UPromote links can carry UTM parameters so you can analyse results in the tools you already use.
How do I get started?
Click “Free trial” in the hero to create an account and get 100 free emails, with no payment details needed. Once you are happy, buy volume directly in the console; for an enterprise contract, custom sending domain, or API integration, submit the form on this page.
