Full transparency about how this site earns revenue and how it affects our recommendations.
Quick summary: bestemailmarketingtool.com contains affiliate links. If you click through and sign up, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This never influences our rankings - tools are scored on merit.
Some links on this site are "affiliate links." If you click a link to an email marketing platform and sign up for a paid plan, we receive a small commission from the platform provider. You pay the exact same price whether you use our link or go directly - there is no markup or additional charge.
We participate in affiliate programs offered through PartnerStack and direct partnerships with the platforms reviewed on this site. When you click a "Try [Tool Name]" button, you're directed to the platform through our affiliate tracking link.
If you sign up for a free trial, free plan, or paid subscription through that link, we may earn a one-time or recurring commission depending on the specific partnership arrangement.
Affiliate income is what makes this site possible - it funds the research and ongoing maintenance without charging readers or running ads.
However, affiliate relationships never influence rankings or recommendations. Our scoring methodology is based on five criteria: deliverability, ease of use, automation, pricing, and support.
As evidence: Mailchimp ranks #13 out of 15 tools despite offering one of the highest-paying affiliate programs in the industry. If we optimized for revenue, Mailchimp would be #1. It isn't.
We currently have affiliate partnerships with: Kit (ConvertKit), Instantly, GetResponse, ActiveCampaign, MailerLite, Brevo, Klaviyo, AWeber, Lemlist, Moosend, HubSpot, Omnisend, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and beehiiv.
Where an affiliate link is not available, we link directly to the platform's website without tracking.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255).
