Snapshot
TheMoneyListMailer (2007) and Effective Safelist (2008) are both mailer-type listings in the viral_mailer category, both free-only with no paid tier in the directory data.
Free-only on both sides
Neither offers a paid upgrade, which simplifies the comparison — there's no tier decision, just two free mailing lists a year apart in age. As with most safelist and viral mailer comparisons, the directory doesn't include list size or activity data, so don't assume either performs better without testing.
Recommended test
Send a tracked mailing through both and compare click-through on separate links. Since both are free, there's minimal cost to running this test in parallel rather than sequentially.
Verdict
Functionally similar free viral mailers. Add both to your rotation and let tracked results — not founding year — decide which earns more of your regular mailing time.
