How we compare
Specialist agency, freelancer or in-house. What fits you
One Mail Studio is an email-only agency for online stores, an official Klaviyo and Omnisend partner, working in English and Spanish. Compared with a generalist agency you get a team that does nothing but email; compared with a freelancer, strategy, design and reporting under one roof; compared with an in-house hire, the whole channel from €550 a month with no lock-in. Below is how the four options compare, and when another one suits you better.
Four ways to run your email
Every option can work. What changes is the focus, who does the work and how you pay for it.
| One Mail Studio | Generalist agency | Freelancer | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Focus | Email for e-commerce only | Email is one of several channels | Depends on the person | Usually email plus other tasks |
| Platforms | Official Klaviyo and Omnisend partner, on Shopify | Varies | Varies | Whatever the person knows |
| Strategy, design, copy and data | All included, one team | Usually split across teams | Often one or two of them | Hard to cover in one profile |
| Languages and markets | English and Spanish, several countries in one account | Varies | Usually one | Usually one |
| Price | From €550 a month, or on results with no fixed fee | Retainer, often bundled with other channels | Per hour or per email | Salary, tools and training |
| Commitment | No lock-in on monthly plans | Varies | Flexible | Employment contract |
| Reporting | Monthly report on revenue, with next steps | Varies | Varies | Depends on the team |
The other columns describe what is common, not any company in particular. Ask the same questions to everyone you talk to.
Honestly
When another option suits you better
We would rather tell you now than lose your trust later.
A freelancer
If your store is just starting, you send a newsletter now and then and the budget is tight, a good freelancer covers it. Come back when email has to sell.
An in-house team
If email is already one of your biggest channels and you send every day, a dedicated team can make sense.
A generalist agency
If you want one supplier for ads, social, web and email, a generalist agency is simpler to manage. You give up depth in each channel.

Questions about choosing
A freelancer works well for a young store with simple needs and a tight budget. A specialist agency makes more sense when email has to be a sales channel: you get strategy, design, copy, data and a monthly report from one team.
