If having a tool with high rates of deliverability is absolutely essential, then it’s best to avoid Benchmark. — Inka Wibowo
Benchmark Email is a tool that focuses on small businesses who are interested in making templatized emails with drag-and-drop layouts and ecommerce integration. If that's you — great! They are a really solid tool for the job.
If you're more interested in emails that end up not just in folks' inboxes but read by the subscribers who have trusted you with their email addresses, though, Buttondown offers some more appealing features:
