Pros

“I use Bento for email marketing and transactional notifications, allowing me to broadcast campaigns to customers and newsletter subscribers.”

João P.

Co founder, software engineer

“There are some things with fields where you have to memorize the field to add it to a contact vs selecting a list of fields they store from a dropdown and then add it.”

Richard B.

“Their Support, Their Tracking System, Their AI writer, Their Automation System, Their Sending Limits, Their Deliverability..”

Abdullah A.

Founder of SalesCode System

Cons

“The only real downsides so far for us are that because of the complexity (that enables so much functionality) onboarding team members, and even getting an initial grasp of the 'Bento way', can be a little more involved than it might be otherwise.”

Travis H.

Head of Operations

“Emails aren't sent out as quick and even preview-emails can have a 5-10 min delay.”

Baron A.

Broker of Record

“There is a bit of a learning curve to using the platform and at times the different screens feel a bit cluttered.”

Kevin W.

Owner
