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

The Integrator

Weighted verdict

Has to wire this into a stack that already exists. Wants a documented API with rate limits, webhooks that retry, a sandbox and a deprecation policy. Treats a partner-form integration page as a missing API, and reads "Zapier supported" as an outsourced one.

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

Scored by The Integrator

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 Integrator

The workflow pages document a visual builder with branching logic, conditions and actions, multiple triggers, and behaviour-based entry from website tracking, alongside segmentation, dynamic content and A/B testing — most of what I need a journey engine to do. We found no public information on send-time optimisation or on testing that reports significance rather than raw variation counts. 4 5 10 1

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 Integrator

SPF, DKIM, DMARC and BIMI are documented together with a custom sending domain, and the free DMARC checker with policy analysis is more authentication documentation than most vendors publish. We found no public information on bounce suppression, complaint-loop handling, dedicated-IP options or warm-up, and the 98% delivery figure is a marketing number rather than a stated policy. 6 7

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 Integrator

Double opt-in and opt-out functions are stated as available, but we found no public information on whether opt-in is the default or on what the stored consent record contains. Tracking is marketed as cookie-based identification of individual users across page visits, carts and purchase details, and we found no public information on limiting or switching tracking off, preference-centre granularity, or handling of access and erasure requests. 6 9 10 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 Integrator

List import from MailChimp and an API to create and manage mailing lists programmatically give real paths in, and the tracking pages show exactly the engagement data that would need to leave with the list. We found no public information on export completeness, engagement-history export or documented deletion — exit is not evidenced as a feature. 11 10 2

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 Integrator

There are 42 native integrations including WooCommerce, Magento, Salesforce, HubSpot and Segment, plus an API reference, a transactional API and a direct SMTP service — enough surface to build against without a partner agreement, though the via-Zapier catalogue is an outsourced one. We found no public information on webhooks, retry behaviour, rate limits, a sandbox, or any versioning and deprecation policy, which is precisely the operational contract I need before wiring this into an existing stack. 11 12 5

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 Integrator

Hosting is stated as EU-based on AWS and the contracting entity is Moosend Ltd. of 5 New Street Square, London under United Kingdom law, while the site states Moosend is now a Constant Contact company — a parent whose jurisdiction the captured pages never give. The EU-hosting statement covers only the customer's contact data, and we found no published subprocessor list, so the region of sending, tracking and support tooling and every downstream processor is unevidenced. 3 2 5

Pricing transparency

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 Integrator

A headline price of "$7 $9 Per month" is public with monthly, biannual and annual billing — "Save 20% automatically—pay once a year" — and unlimited email campaigns and sends are stated. We found no public information on what list size those prices cover, where automation or SMS begins, or VAT treatment, so the real invoice for a given list size cannot be computed from the captured pages. 1

European sovereignty — proven facts

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

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 29 Sep 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. The page never states Constant Contact's own jurisdiction or the deal structure; classifying it as foreign-controlled rests on outside knowledge that Constant Contact is a US company.
Weak sourcing — Legal entity. The imprint gives only a London address rather than a company register, and the site also states "Moosend is now a Constant Contact company", so the UK entity may no longer be the operative contracting party.
Weak sourcing — Data residency. The claim sits in trust-center marketing copy and covers only "customer's contact data"; no contractual statement in the excerpts confirms the region of all product data or that no non-EU default exists.
Weak sourcing — Subprocessors. AWS is a US-headquartered provider, so the US CLOUD Act reaches the customer data even though the same page states the hosting is EU-based.
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.
