Compare the cost, the bells, and the whistles.
TellTell starts at $8.99 a month. Every plan keeps one people directory behind group email that works with your current inbox.
250-person reference
Price should be easy to compare.
TellTell pairs group email with one shared people directory. As organizations grow, one account can hold multiple related teams, each with its own groups and management roles, while flexible custom fields keep every roster useful. These products are not apples-to-apples, but the dollars and cents are still worth comparing.
