Considered Both Products
Benchmark Email
Chose Benchmark Email
In the past, I have used Getresponse. I found it very handy for Affiliate Marketing but not good enough for Corporate Marketing. I then incorporated Benchmark Email into my arsenal because it is good enough for both Affiliate Marketing and Corporate Marketing. With the upgrade …
Chose Benchmark Email
We used the free trial of many competitors, such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, etc. Basically, Benchmark Email provided the best value for the money. The fact that we could get some economy of scale on the extended contract as well as the introduction of split a/b testing …
Chose Benchmark Email
I stated this plenty of times in my previous responses but we moved to Benchmark from Mad Mimi. Mad Mimi's feature set is extremely basic and only suited for start-ups or very small businesses. Benchmark provides enough customization to take the next step in your email …
Chose Benchmark Email
At the time of the decision, we anticipated a larger audience and a high potential cost of MailChimp. We also believed that Benchmark Email would be less complex and therefore quicker to implement and learn. Given the current needs and pricing, I believe MailChimp may be …
Chose Benchmark Email
Of the free email marketing services I tried, Benchmark could only stack up against Zoho Campaigns and Moosend. as unfortunately, Mailchimp has better signup form customization options, SendinBlue's free plan offers advanced automation and MailerLite offers advanced …
Chose Benchmark Email
Benchmark is very good for sending business email for products and services and especially for sending white papers compared to the others. But it also depends on your requirements.
Sitecore Send
Chose Sitecore Send
I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing …
Chose Sitecore Send
Simple yet powerful email marketing tool designed to automate every aspect of email marketing so that email marketers can perform tasks faster and engage with visitors in an accurate and timely manner.
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend is known as more of an industry standard than BuzzStream (which is a more budget tool), and it shows. BuzzStream has clearly cut corners in areas of usability and general UI, where Moosend, on the other hand, seems to have done it right from the beginning. Moosend is so …
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend was the most affordable and the easiest to use. Moosend seemed to have the best reviews as far as we read. We wanted to try something new and so far have had nothing but success; however, those other programs may be just as good. We went with Moosend based on reviews …
Chose Sitecore Send
The simple interface and lower cost. Simple automation in a couple of clicks easy to set up.
Chose Sitecore Send
We use both MailChimp and Moosend, and I prefer to use MailChimp for most campaigns. As compared to MailChimp, I think it is more difficult to manage lists on Moosend. It's also harder to preview past campaigns, review campaign performance, or manage saved templates for …
Chose Sitecore Send

User Testimonials
Benchmark EmailSitecore Send
Likelihood to Recommend
Their free option has no time limit and accepts an email list of 2,000 contacts. That's generous considering that some similar software have free trials limited to a month or less and will allow only about 1,000 contact lists, if not less. With that 2,000 contact space available for free on Benchmark email, I can gather 2,000 leads or buyers into my email program without paying. Thus, Benchmark Email is suited for profitability, especially for a start-up business.

Pretty straight forward but it takes sometime to get used to. Not exactly like WordPress or other open source cms but it gets the job done

I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing the communication among the customers and company. Nothing can beat this application in making work flow, and we admit its strategies to make the company marketing strong and in the pipeline are also in consideration to put forward for implementation.

Return on Investment
  • We were able to reduce recurring costs by 20% per year by buying an extended contract plan.
  • Benchmark is more robust than our previous software, and we've been able to increase newsletter sales by about 10% per year.
  • We were able to introduce split a/b testing into our newsletter mix, as it's a native feature of Benchmark.

  • Moosend is quite affordable (500,000 emails for $500), so it's easy to see an ROI. It only takes a few recipients converting to make a campaign worth the spend.
