Loops tells the most elegant one-platform story in email, and its agent-facing
go-to-market — llms.txt, machine-readable pricing.txt, “start with an agent” — leads
the industry. The comparison is what sits underneath: per-contact pricing that
reaches $3,999 a month at a million contacts, no public infrastructure or
deliverability story, and a /security URL that returned a 404 when we checked.

## The comparison

| | Loops | Email Fast |
|---|---|---|
| Contacts pricing | Free to 1,000 contacts / 4,000 sends; $49/month at 5,000 contacts; $3,999/month at 1,000,000 | contacts and subscribers are never billed — we price sending, not the size of your audience |
| Free tier | 1,000 contacts, 4,000 sends | 2,500 emails/month, unlimited contacts, never expires |
| Infrastructure | No public infrastructure or deliverability story | Email Fast runs its own mail transfer agent, warmup engine, reputation breaker, and per-tenant fair queue — the pipes are ours, not resold |
| Security page | /security returned 404 at verification; trust information behind a bot-blocked portal | Open, crawlable [security page](/security) |
| Agent surface | Industry-leading: llms.txt, machine-readable pricing.txt, agent-first onboarding | The same surfaces — [/agents](/agents), [pricing.txt](/.well-known/pricing.txt) — because they're the right idea |

## Where Loops is the right choice

- **Product elegance is your priority.** Their one-platform experience is the most refined in the category, and their Framer-built marketing site reflects the same taste.
- **Your list is small.** Under 1,000 contacts, Loops is free.
- **You onboard by agent.** They built for that first, and it shows — credit where due.

## Switching

There's no Loops-compatible endpoint, so bring your list and templates over directly.
Contacts are never billed here, so bringing everyone — including dormant subscribers
you might win back — costs nothing. Start with a [sandbox key](/get-started):
sandbox keys (ef_sandbox_…) that run the real pipeline dry: real validation, real rendering, real events, a hosted capture inbox — and no email leaves. Live delivery opens at launch.

## What does per-contact pricing cost as a list grows?

Loops' published ladder: free to 1,000 contacts and 4,000 sends, $49 a month at 5,000 contacts, scaling to $3,999 a month at 1,000,000. Our answer: contacts and subscribers are never billed — we price sending, not the size of your audience.

## Where is Loops' security page?

At our July 17, 2026 verification, their /security URL returned a 404 and trust information sat behind a bot-blocked portal. If that has changed, tell us — hello@emailfast.dev — and we'll correct it. Ours is open and crawlable: /security .

## Who carries Loops' email?

Their public pages don't say — there is no public infrastructure or deliverability story to verify. Ours: Email Fast runs its own mail transfer agent, warmup engine, reputation breaker, and per-tenant fair queue — the pipes are ours, not resold.

## Does Loops publish pages like this one?

No comparison pages that we found. We publish ours with a verification date and a correction address, because a comparison you can't audit is just an ad.
