My opinions, mixed with findings:

It looks like Gaggle.email does not allow the Free Tier members to send email 
from their email app to the list. They call that "Send direct from your Inbox" 
and it is only allowed for the paid plans.  
Instead, if I understand correctly, list members must sign into the Gaggle 
website, then use the Gaggle website to send any group message. So it's NOT 
really an email discussion group at the free level. 
That might be OK for an Announce-Only mailing list, but IMHO really unlikely to 
work as a discussion list. 

Gaggle paid account starts at $10/month minimum for a single discussion list of 
up to 200 members, then plus $0.10 per member per month. Billed annually is 16% 
less. That is for ONE mailing list only. There is also a similar $20/Month 
tier, still for ONE mailing list only.

In my opinion requiring list members to go to a certain website to send email 
to the list will greatly reduce engagement. Not a good match. So the free 
version of Gaggle is not acceptable for me. 

The first paid tier is $100/year for up to 100 members for a single discussion 
list. That tier does not include custom hosted MX record for your sub-domain, 
so that may be awkward sometimes. The $100 tier does include 1 
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> and to use your own domain 
name you'll need to make a list mailbox on your own mail server & forward it to 
them. I'm not sure how well that works out in real life. Probably about as good 
as requiring members to send list mail only from the Gaggle website.

At the moment, Gaggle.email Free & $100/yr Paid Tier are both a NOPE for me. 

Still looking.
