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. https://gaggle.email/pricing 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. https://help.gaggle.email/article/258-how-use-your-domain-send-custom-redirects At the moment, Gaggle.email Free & $100/yr Paid Tier are both a NOPE for me. Still looking.
