Our review framework
How We Evaluate Email Marketing Tools
We use these dimensions to structure our email marketing software research and reviews. When hands-on testing is performed, we will distinguish our observations from vendor documentation and state the scope and date of the review.
Ease of Use
How straightforward are setup, navigation, and everyday campaign tasks?
Automation
Which triggers, conditions, and workflows are available, and on which plans?
Deliverability
What authentication tools, sending controls, and reporting are available? Any future inbox-placement tests will need a stated method and limitations; delivery is not guaranteed.
Templates
How adaptable are the templates, and how well do editing and mobile layouts work?
Integrations
Does the platform connect with the tools your business uses, and what are the limits?
Pricing
How do contact limits, sending allowances, feature tiers, and extra charges affect cost?
Customer Support
Which support channels and resources are available, during which hours, and on which plans?
Future reviews should distinguish hands-on observations from vendor documentation, identify the plan reviewed, and state when information was checked.
