Pricing FAQ
Yes. Benchmark Email publicly offers a Forever plan at $0 per month. The free plan includes 500 contacts, 2,500 email sends per month, and 1 user. The company also says free users get access to all features, with the main limits being contact count and the lack of additional users.
Benchmark’s own pricing page shows Pro example pricing at $27 per month for a selected contact level, while third-party pricing references list the Pro plan starting at $19 per month. Because the official page also notes that pricing changes by contact level, the safest public summary is that Pro starts at $19 per month on third-party listings and scales upward by contacts on the official page. Additional users cost $15 per month each.
Yes. Benchmark says that if you have more than 100,000 contacts, you should talk to sales to customize your plan. The pricing shown for that tier is not publicly disclosed. The page also indicates that the custom tier includes everything in Pro plus dedicated account management and monthly health checks.
Benchmark says you will be notified and given the option to upgrade your plan if you exceed your contact limit. The company says it will not auto-upgrade you or surprise you. It also states that free plans can send up to 5 times their contact limit each month, while paid plans can send up to 10 times the contact limit.
Benchmark says you can switch from monthly to annual billing, and the official pricing page says annual billing saves $60 off the Pro plan each year. The public page does not provide a full annual price table, so the exact annual billing amount is not always publicly disclosed for each contact level. For buyers, the important point is that annual billing is available and may reduce Pro costs.
