Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Data Protection Officer

Weighted verdict

Signs off the tool that holds named people and records what each of them opened. Wants double opt-in with a proof that survives a complaint, tracking that can be switched off, and an answer to where the behavioural data lives that does not require a Schrems II argument.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Data Protection Officer

Campaigns & automation

How this is scored

Building the mail and the journey around it: editor, templates, segmentation, triggered sequences, A/B testing.

0 — One-off broadcasts from a fixed template; no segmentation and no automation of any kind.

3 — A drag-and-drop editor and simple list segmentation, but automation is a single welcome mail and there is no testing.

5 — Reusable templates, attribute and behaviour segmentation, multi-step automations on common triggers, and subject-line A/B testing.

8 — A visual journey builder with branching on behaviour and data, dynamic content per segment, send-time optimisation, and testing that reports significance rather than raw counts.

10 — Journeys treat the whole lifecycle: event-driven entry from other systems, branching on any attribute or event, holdout groups for measurement, and automations a marketer can read months later without a diagram.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

A drag-and-drop editor, reusable templates, a visual workflow builder with templates for common sequences, and segmentation by language, location and purchasing behaviour with dynamic content per group are documented, and transactional sends are triggered from order events. We found no public information on A/B testing, send-time optimisation, holdout measurement or testing that reports significance, so this sits in the middle of the range rather than above it. 6 8 10

Deliverability infrastructure

How this is scored

Whether the mail arrives — authentication, sending reputation, bounce and complaint handling — judged on what the vendor documents rather than the inbox rate it advertises.

0 — No documentation of authentication or bounce handling; deliverability appears only as a marketing number.

3 — SPF and DKIM setup documented, but no DMARC guidance, no stated bounce policy and shared sending only.

5 — SPF, DKIM and DMARC documented with a custom sending domain, automatic hard-bounce suppression, and complaint-loop handling stated.

8 — The above plus dedicated-IP options with a documented warm-up, seed or inbox-placement testing, engagement-based sunsetting, and published guidance on list hygiene.

10 — Deliverability is operated as a service: reputation monitoring surfaced to the customer, per-domain and per-ISP diagnostics, enforced authentication before first send, and postmaster or blocklist handling the vendor documents doing on the customer's behalf.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Sending on the vendor's own servers, automatic handling and tracking of delivery errors, a stated spam-rate requirement below 0.3 percent, and a deliverability team that diagnoses and eliminates spam-folder causes are all documented. We found no public information on SPF, DKIM or DMARC setup guidance, dedicated IP options with warm-up, complaint-loop handling or inbox-placement testing, so the authentication layer rests on a generic promise of authentication rather than documented protocols. 8

List ownership, import & exit

How this is scored

Whether the list and its history remain the sender's: import with attributes intact, full export including engagement history, deletion that executes, and no metering that prices leaving out of reach.

0 — Export is addresses only; engagement history, segments and automations cannot leave.

3 — CSV import and export of subscriber fields, but engagement history and unsubscribe state are not exportable.

5 — Full subscriber export including custom attributes, subscription status and unsubscribe state, plus API access sufficient to sync elsewhere.

8 — Everything exportable in open formats — subscribers, engagement history, campaigns and templates — with documented deletion of a subscriber across all records, and no export throttling.

10 — Exit is a documented feature: full-fidelity export of the whole account, contractual data return, deletion that is evidenced rather than asserted, and migration tooling in both directions.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Automated CSV import, bidirectional synchronisation that stores recipient responses and delivery information in the customer's campaign management tool or data warehouse, subscription and unsubscription state flowing to CRM systems, and real-time API transfer of recipient data and statistics are documented. We found no public information on documented deletion of a subscriber across all records, on export of campaigns and templates, or on any export throttling, which is why I stop short of the higher marks. 10

Report an error

Integrations & API

How this is scored

The connection surface a newsletter lives on: shop and CRM systems, events in and out, webhooks, and an API somebody can build against without a partner agreement.

0 — No API and no named integrations; the list is maintained by CSV upload.

3 — A handful of native integrations and a read-mostly API, with no webhooks and no documented rate limits.

5 — Named integrations for common shop and CRM systems, a documented REST API with keys, and webhooks for the core subscriber events.

8 — Maintained bidirectional integrations with named systems including at least one major shop platform, event webhooks with retries, documented rate limits, and a sandbox.

10 — The tool is a component rather than a destination: transactional and marketing sending on one API, events flowing both directions, versioned API with a deprecation policy, and integrations the vendor maintains rather than lists.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

SOAP and REST APIs usable independently without a partner agreement, a Commerce API that triggers events and returns transaction results, mailings created and sent directly from external applications, and a broad maintained catalogue spanning Shopify, Magento, Shopware, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Make, Zapier and n8n are documented. We found no public information on webhooks with retries, documented rate limits, a sandbox environment, or API versioning with a deprecation policy. 8 10 11

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where subscriber data and behavioural tracking live, who the contracting entity is, and which subprocessors touch the send. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; scored here as this buyer weighs it — which in this category is heavily.

0 — US vendor and contracting entity, US hosting, subprocessors unnamed; subscriber behaviour leaves the EU with no stated basis.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option or for storage only, while sending, tracking or support access remains non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — sending infrastructure, analytics, support tooling — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU or DACH hosting with a named data-centre provider, EU contracting entity, complete subprocessor list published, and any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting, sending and every subprocessor in the EU, certification published, and no transfer that needs a Schrems II argument to survive.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

A German contracting entity is evidenced on the captured pages, but we found no public information on where subscriber data and tracking data are hosted, on ownership, or on any subprocessor in the chain behind the send. Until the hosting location and the full subprocessor list are published, I cannot answer where the behavioural data lives without an argument I would rather not have to make, and I weigh that heavily here. 8

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a sender can compute the real invoice for their list size and send volume — including overage, extra domains and automation limits — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A headline price per contact tier exists, but send limits, overage rates or the tier where automation begins are not stated.

5 — Contact-tier prices public with the billing period stated and send limits given, but at least one commonly needed capability sits in an unpriced tier or add-on.

8 — Every tier priced publicly with contact and volume limits, overage rates, feature boundaries and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom volume lacks a number.

10 — Complete price computability: a calculator producing the annual invoice for a given list size and send frequency, including overage, additional domains and dedicated IPs.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

No price for any tier, module or add-on appears on the captured pages, and the route to a number is a demo request and a free trial. The SMTP relay page does state what is included and what remains an optional service, but we found no public information on contact-tier prices, send limits, overage rates, feature boundaries by tier or VAT treatment. 6 8
