Things to Consider When Comparing ESP's Functionality
Download this PDF with a list of things to consider when comparing transactional email providers, who deliver through SMTP and API.
Your Environment:
- Get a list of integrations and see if your software and tools are pre-configured
- Consider whether you need a campaign management function, to create emails, pull lists or create segments
- Make sure you understand whether you need an SMTP-Relay or API and choose accordingly. Find out more about that here
Ease of Use:
- Make sure you open a free account or ask for a “sandbox” to get a feel for how easy it will be to use
- Is there support available 24/7?
- Is the support free? If it is included in some plans but not others, when does it kick in?
Migration:
- Find out if the ESP will help you with migration; real help, not links to documents
- Find out if the ESP will help create an onboarding warm-up plan
Deliverability Support:
- Look for deliverability expertise and availability of support for inbox delivery
- Is deliverability support included, or do you have to pay extra at consulting rates?
Fees:
- Take a close look at the support options; whether you have to pay for support or if it’s included only at certain volumes of email
- Is the support handled by the company or outsourced?
- Look for any hidden fees and check overage policies
- When you look at CPM pricing, don’t compare apples to oranges. Make sure that you consider support, reporting, consultative help, etc.
Reporting:
- Check on the availability and depth of the reports; ask to see examples
- Find out if the reports are real-time, or you can expect a delay (some ESPs have a 24 hour or more delay)
