Bento

Bento combines newsletter campaigns, automated Flows, subscriber profiles and forms. Marketing Platform starts at $29 per month for 5,000 active users, then applies progressive contact rates. Marketing sends are unlimited subject to fair use, anti-abuse review and sender ramp-up.

Its 30-day trial is temporary. Active users include subscribed contacts and anyone with an event in the last 30 days. The comparison assumes subscribers equal billable active users; recently active unsubscribed contacts can increase the cost.

Standalone Transactional Email works through API or SMTP: 100 monthly emails are free, $5 covers up to 12,500, and additional usage costs $0.09 per 1,000. The default email delivery pace is 60 per minute; a higher pace requires support approval. Official pricing and limits: https://bentonow.com/pricing ; https://bentonow.com/docs/emails_api

Pricing: Marketing from $29/month; separate transactional free allowance and volume billing. Annual prepayment is arranged with support, with no public discount assumed. Verified October 27, 2026.
