Making Benchmark great for use across a diverse team.Benchmark also offers a handful of AI features—including the new "Smart Design" (currently in beta) to design a custom branded template and "Smart Content" to generate email copy—but ou can do even more when you connect Benchmark with Zapier, automating things like adding new subscribers and syncing contacts across your business stack.

That means, eventually, you may have to upgrade.

Access to most of the features the app has to offer—in at least some limited way—it's the ultra-affordable upgrade pricing that sets the app apart. EmailOctopus paid plans are the most affordable and scalable I found—we're talking 10,000 subscribers and 100,000 monthly emails sends for $40 per month.A couple caveats here: while you can access automation for free (up to three workflows), the feature is pretty basic compared to others I tested. The app's drag-and-drop editor is also a little on the clunky side, but ultimately, it works.Beyond that, EmailOctopus offers dozens of email templates to choose from and an easy-to-use audience segmentation tool with all the standard dimensions you expect from a free tool, along with a handful of engagement-based ones, too.
