Add your own fields to track the info that matters to you. Tags Group your contacts by behavior, interest, or your own magic marketing intuition. Lists Whether you're sending a VIP offer or a seasonal update, segment your audience into lists that make sense. Search Find the right contact in seconds. Seriously, just type and go.

Personalized subject lines Catch their eye before the click. Add first names or custom fields to your subject lines for inbox-worthy appeal. Tailored content (merge fields) Drop in personal details like name, location, or favorite ice cream flavor (if you’re tracking that)—because generic is so last season. Customize reply-to emails Choose who gets the replies—your inbox, your colleague’s, or your team alias. You’re in control of the convo.

FAQs What happens if I exceed the contact limit? Expand No panic necessary. If you go over your contact limit, we’ll notify you and give you the option to upgrade your plan so you can keep sending without interruption. We won’t auto-upgrade or surprise you. You’re in control, always. Can I upgrade at anytime? Expand Absolutely. Whether you’re growing fast or just need more firepower, you can upgrade your plan at any time right from your account settings. Need to do more with less? Downgrading is easy. Manage your plan and usage is totally in your hands. Do I get all features in the free plan? Expand Yes! Free users get access to all features...no watered-down version here. The only limits? You can add up to 500 contacts, and you won’t be able to invite additional users to your account. It’s a great way to explore everything Benchmark Email can do, without opening your wallet. How are additional users billed? Expand All plans include 1 user. On paid plans, expanding your team is a breeze. We bill $15 per month a la carte for each additional user, no plan upgrade required. You’ll know exactly what the cost is before anything changes, so there are no surprises. Just a heads-up: if you're on the free plan, you’ll need to move to a paid plan before you can invite teammates. What is the send limit? Expand Send limits are set to keep your sender reputation safe! Free plans can send up to 5 times their contact limit each month, for a maximum of 2,500 emails per month. Paid plans can send up to 10 times the contact limit of their plan each month. Can I change my billing frequency? Expand We like to keep things simple—and flexible. Here’s how you can pay for your Benchmark Email plan: Cards We accept all of the most popular plastic: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, and China UnionPay payments from customers worldwide. Digital Wallets Prefer to tap and go? We’ve got you covered with Alipay, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, Cash App Pay, Google Pay. Stripe Link Already use Stripe for other purchases? Great! Just breeze through checkout using Stripe Link, no extra steps needed. What methods of payment do you accept? Expand Nope! Only active contacts count toward your contact limit in Benchmark Email. Contacts that cannot be emailed will be marked as inactive, and will not count toward your contact limit. Inactive contacts include unsubscribed, spam complaint, and bounced email addresses.

That’s the real unicorn in a world of venture-backed competitors pretending to be something they’re not. A Shoestring and a Dream Husband and wife team, Curt and Denise Keller, started Benchmark Email in 2004 and bootstrapped it into a global sales and marketing platform. But their dream didn’t stop there. Today, SaaS is evolving faster than ever. Generative AI is reshaping software, and marketers are caught between outdated tools and overwhelming new tech. The challenge is clear: adapt or become obsolete. At Benchmark, we saw two paths: stay the course and risk falling behind, or rebuild from the ground up to create the future of email marketing. We chose the bold path. A New Era of Email Marketing Most email marketing platforms have turned into bloated, all-in-one marketing suites—expensive, complicated, and packed with features most businesses don’t use. We’re doing things differently. Benchmark Email is designed to be effortlessly simple, helping busy marketers get results without clunky tools or frustrating workflows. We stripped away the unnecessary, re-engineered the essentials, and built a platform that makes email marketing easy (and hopefully even fun!).
