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 campaign manager builds one- and multi-stage automated series on triggers — welcome series, cart reminders, transactional mailings, birthday and anniversary mailings — with campaigns reusable as templates and pausable for testing. Personalization is marketed, but we found no public information on list segmentation or A/B testing, so the automation depth sits well above a single welcome mail without covering the full mid-level bundle. 1 5

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

Deliverability rests on a Certified Senders Alliance certification, whitelisting and mailing tests — a third-party signal, but thinner than documentation of the mechanics. We found no public information on SPF, DKIM or DMARC setup, bounce suppression, dedicated-IP options or warm-up; the certification is asserted rather than documented. 4

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 ships with checkboxes, unsubscribe links and explicit consent proof, and the privacy policy logs IP address plus date and time at signup — more than a bare timestamp. We found no public information on whether open and click tracking can be limited or switched off, on preference-centre granularity, or on retention rules for inactive subscribers. 3 4

Report an error

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

The API documents querying data, and the privacy policy states subscriber data is deleted from mailingwork's servers after unsubscribe. We found no public information on export formats or fidelity, on engagement history or unsubscribe state leaving the system, or on a documented full-account exit. 3 5

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 Integrator

An open API with stated use cases — creating subscribers, sending transactional mail, querying data — and integration targets named by category for CRM, CMS and shop systems, which is a surface somebody can build against without a partner agreement. Zapier is the connector on offer, which I read as an outsourced integration, and we found no public information on webhooks, rate limits, a sandbox, a versioning or deprecation policy, or a single named integration the vendor maintains. 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

The essentials are claimed: a German contracting entity, servers hosted in Germany, and an explicit statement that newsletter data sees no third-country transfer. The hosting claim sits in marketing copy with no data-processing agreement excerpt captured, the data-centre provider is unnamed, and we found no subprocessor list for the sending service itself — the named processors are website tracking tools — which is what keeps this short of the top band. 2 3 4

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 Integrator

The captured pages publish no price figures at all; the way in is a free demo and a free consultation call, with documents sent on request. A buyer cannot compute any part of the invoice from public information. 1 4

European sovereignty — proven facts

2 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	Incorporated in DE	3/3 pts	2 Report an error

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 15 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 — Data residency. The EU hosting statement sits in marketing copy on the security page, and no data-processing agreement excerpt was captured to confirm it as the contractual default.
Weak sourcing — 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.
