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

The CRM Manager

Weighted verdict

Owns the lifecycle programme and measures it. Wants segmentation on real behaviour, journeys that branch, and testing that reports significance rather than a bigger number. Treats a tool that can only broadcast as a mailing list with invoicing.

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

Scored by The CRM Manager

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 CRM Manager

The drag-and-drop editor with a template library, segment-targeted welcome journeys, triggers on contact-property updates like last purchase, and a visual builder whose Event, Timer, Action and Condition blocks branch on customer behaviour cover most of what a lifecycle programme needs. A/B testing is documented for subject lines and content, but we found no public information on tests reporting statistical significance, on send-time optimisation, or on holdout groups for measurement — a real journey tool, not yet an instrumented one. 2 5 6 11

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 CRM Manager

SPF and DKIM setup is documented with DNS guidance, dedicated IPs on Premium and Custom come with a customised warm-up plan built with the customer, and support teams and technical account managers are documented to monitor reputation and help avoid blocklists — more than hand-waving. We found no public information on DMARC guidance, complaint-loop handling or automatic hard-bounce suppression, which leaves the documented foundation incomplete despite CSA certification since 2014 and real-time tracking of opens, clicks, bounces and blocks. 7 8 13

Consent, proof & tracking limits

How this is scored

How subscribers arrive and what the sender can prove afterwards: double opt-in, logged consent, unsubscribe handling, and whether open and click tracking can be limited or switched off.

0 — Single opt-in with no consent record; tracking is always on and cannot be disabled.

3 — Double opt-in available but not the default, and the consent record is a timestamp without the source, IP or the wording consented to.

5 — Double opt-in as the documented default with a stored consent record including source and timestamp, one-click unsubscribe, and tracking that can be turned off per campaign.

8 — Consent is reproducible as evidence: the confirmation mail and form wording versioned and retrievable per subscriber, unsubscribe honoured across lists, tracking off-by-default available, and retention rules for inactive subscribers.

10 — Built for the burden of proof: a per-subscriber consent history an authority would accept, documented handling of Art. 15 access and Art. 17 erasure requests, pixel-free and link-tracking-free sending as a supported mode, and preference-centre granularity rather than all-or-nothing.

Report an error

The CRM Manager

Double opt-in is integrated into signup forms, GDPR consents are stored alongside contact properties, and the tracking-consent release is genuinely granular — recipients grant, deny or revoke open and click tracking per contact, collected via form opt-in, list import or individual edit, on every plan including Free. A preference centre lets subscribers choose content. We found no public information on whether double opt-in is the documented default, on what the consent record stores beyond the status, or on unsubscribe handling across lists. 2 9 10 12

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 CRM Manager

Import is well documented — CSV, TXT and XLS upload with automatic error screening and duplicate filtering, plus contact-property updates by API or periodic imports — and bulk review, search and deletion of contacts exists. We found no public information on full export including engagement history and unsubscribe state, on export throttling, or on any migration tooling; portability appears only as a data-subject right in the privacy notice, so exit as a product feature is not evidenced. 5 11 12

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 CRM Manager

Transactional and marketing sending share one REST API with SMTP relay, SDKs in six languages, a sandbox mode, inbound parsing, and per-event webhooks configurable by UI or a single API call, with events pushable into external queuing systems — this is a component, not a destination. Over a hundred pre-built integrations are claimed, but we found no public information naming a specific shop or CRM platform among them, and none on webhook retries or documented rate limits. 1 2 13 14

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 CRM Manager

The captured pages give different figures on where data lives: one claims storage exclusively within the EU, the privacy notice says United States or Europe based on customer selection with no stated default, and neither confirms the contracting entity's jurisdiction on the vendor's own pages. Credit for publishing a subprocessor list with purposes — Google Cloud, AWS, Rackspace, Stripe, Zendesk and others — and for naming transfer mechanisms including standard contractual clauses. But US-headquartered hosts in either region, US payment providers and a US-based Sinch company in the chain mean this is not a sovereign answer, and I weigh that heavily. 3 4 13

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 CRM Manager

The pricing model is public — volume-based on emails sent per month rather than list size, unlimited contacts on Essential and Premium, a free trial, no setup fees and cancel anytime — but we found no public price figures, per-tier send limits, overage rates or VAT treatment on the captured pricing pages. A sender cannot compute the real invoice from what is published. 1 2 13

European sovereignty — proven facts

1 of 4 dimensions proven

Built only from facts shown on the vendor's own pages. A dimension we could not prove is left open, not scored as zero.

Legal entity	Not determined ⚠ unverified	—	uncited Report an error
Ownership	Publicly listed ⚠ unverified	1/2 pts	3 Report an error
Data residency	Not determined ⚠ unverified	—	uncited Report an error
Subprocessors	Not determined ⚠ unverified	—	uncited Report an error

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 30 Aug 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Ownership. Listing is only implied by the Swedish "(publ)" designation in the company name — no stock exchange is named — and the excerpt does not state the parent's country.
Weak sourcing — Legal entity, Data residency, Subprocessors. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
