Tool Information

Benchmark Email is a cloud-based email marketing platform offering a drag-and-drop email builder, sign-up forms, contact management, marketing automation, and reporting, aimed at small and mid-size businesses.

Benchmark states that every plan includes every feature, so differences between tiers come from contact and send volume and user seats rather than feature gating. It also includes "Assistive AI" tools for generating email copy and content ideas within the builder.

A free plan covers up to 500 contacts, with paid plans starting at $19/month and scaling with contact list size.
