We needed a more affordable ESP with unlimited sends and a good template editor, which Benchmark fulfilled. The emails are easy to edit, the reporting is solid, and the customer support is great.
Sometimes can be picked up by spam filters, which is definitely a worst case scenario for our campaigns.

They make the cancelation process a pain. You need to find the hidden link and go via chat where they make you waste 30 min asking you stuff to avoid cancelation.
Seems to have the best functionality and format customization available. I would love to see more fonts and a cleaner benchmark stamp for the bottom.
Most of the email appears to be arriving in people's spam inboxes. Can't seem to resend email to people who have soft bounces.
The customer support team has a live chat, and they'll help you immediately with anything you have. Reporting is pretty good too, and you can see results in either tables or graphs.
We did not have so much problems with the Mailchimp service which leads me to think that Benchmark is just not as well known and accepted.
I love most how amazing the service is. I knew nothing about sales funnels when I started, how to connect my domain etc. I always get speedy service when I reach out to System.io.
I've used Clickfunnels and Kartra which in many ways seemed lazily put together, sloppy, slow, and frustrating.
Systeme is not new to the space, buts it pretty new to the US and I am so happy to have found them. The tools are amazing, the support has proven to be amazing as well and here is why.
The videos take show you how to use the platform can be more in debt, so you don't have to try to figure out the moving pieces.
I'm obsessed with this software because it is just high quality, well put together, easy to use, and works. For a fraction of the price of other leading softwares but much better.
The only area I had a little problem with was tieing it into my website. It was a matter of reading and testing until it works.
It is a user friendly system. Access to affordable, comprehensive training materials and superior, lightning fast customer service.
Also, there must be an option to add many courses to a single membership site. But I am not sure about it.
Noel W.: Hi, I'm Noel. I'm a solopreneur and I give Benchmark Email a five star rating. For more information, click below. So before Benchmark Email, I was using Mail Chimp. And as my business grew and I needed to send out more automations and more specific emails, I found that I had a really difficult time navigating through MailChimp. So I was looking for an alternative that would be easy to use and suit my needs as I'm the only person in my company. So I chose Benchmark for a few reasons. One, it was extremely affordable. Two, the onboarding process was fantastic. I got one on one attention with someone to help me set up Benchmark and use Benchmark. And three, it was easy to use on my own. I was able to create things that I was not able to do with MailChimp. And if I ran into any problems, the customer support was fantastic. It was super easy to get started with. I was assigned a customer support person right off the bat. So we conversed via some emails, and then we had a live Zoom call and she showed me the ropes and I dived into it. So if you are a solopreneur or a small business and you are looking for an email marketing platform that is super easy to use, I really recommend Benchmark.
Petra: Hi, my name is Petra. I'm a personal trainer and health coach. And I give Systeme.io a rating of four out of five. For more reviews, please click below. Before using Systeme.io I was utilizing ClickFunnels and ActiveCampaign, which are two separate platforms. And I wouldn't necessarily say problem, but the thing with them was that they're very expensive for beginners. They are probably really great when you have an established business and turn over a greater amount, but for starters, it's a little bit of a complicated platform with a lot of options that are not really necessary for the beginner user. The main reason why I ended up choosing Systeme.io is the cost. It is a lot less expensive than ClickFunnels and ActiveCampaign that I had used before. A lot of my colleagues have switched to Systeme.io. I think also mainly for the reason of the less cost. So yeah, that's it. And everything is compiled in one program rather than having to utilize two different platforms. At first, when I started Systeme.io, it felt a little bit overwhelming, but the thing is, the company actually helped me migrate my information from ClickFunnels and ActiveCampaigns. So it was really pain-free to transfer all the information over. And one thing I really want to point out is the customer service at Systeme.io is excellent. I felt that I really was bugging my customer service representative with a lot of questions, and he was right there to answer any of my concerns in a super timely manner. So the transfer was quite pain-free. I would recommend for anybody to start Systeme.io or transferred from another company to start with the free version of it and take a good look around if that is what you really need and what you can utilize. I've noticed there are a few features that are not yet available on Systeme.io that I had before. It's probably just a matter of being used to those, and now I cannot utilize them, such as goals that I had in ClickFunnels before that, they are not available yet. Systeme.io is a new company up and running from what I understand, so they're really working hard to get up to and beyond what the regular standards are. So again, before you switch, I would definitely make sure, take advantage of the free version, take a good look around. And then see for yourself actually how easy it is to use it once you get into it.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
