Pros & Cons
Benchmark Email
Pros
- The free plan includes the full editor, forms, contact management and reporting, not just a stripped-down trial.
- Pro starts at $10 a month on annual billing for 500 contacts and allows sends of ten times the contact limit.
- Support is available 24/7 by chat and email, and the platform comes in several languages.
- Reviewers rate the responsive templates as flexible, and the built-in spam and design testing as useful.
Cons
- TechRadar and Sonary both flag poor deliverability.
- Reporting has no custom reports or ecommerce revenue tracking.
- List management is rigid, and segments only work within a single list.
- Automation actions are limited and cannot be split-tested, and the product is updated more slowly than rivals.
Moosend
Pros
- Entry price is low: Pro was reported at 9 USD per month for 500 contacts, and annual billing takes 20% off.
- Prebuilt automation recipes include abandoned cart, repeat purchase and loyalty flows driven by website tracking.
- A/B campaigns can test subject line, content or sender, then send the winner to the rest of the list automatically.
- Nonprofits get an extra 25% off on top of the annual discount.
- Capterra reviewers rate it highly overall and often praise the support team.
Cons
- Transactional email, dedicated IPs and SSO are not in Pro and need a custom-priced plan.
- Support is 24/5 email and live chat. The Enterprise tier adds priority support, but there is no 24/7 coverage.
- About 80 native integrations, so less common tools need Zapier or similar connectors.
- Reviewers find the template range limited and the landing pages fairly basic.
- Prices are only in US dollars, and there is no permanent free plan, only a 30-day trial.
