Detailed Review
Acumbamail is an email and SMS platform from Acumbamail, S.L.U. in Ciudad Real, and Acumbamail states that all of its infrastructure is hosted in a data centre in Spain, with no international data transfers. Transactional email, landing pages and surveys sit alongside the campaigns, so a Spanish business can send its newsletter and its order confirmations through the same vendor.
What Acumbamail does not say is who runs that data centre. The ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 certificates on Acumbamail's pages belong to the data centre rather than to Acumbamail itself; Acumbamail's own certification is Spain's Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS). A buyer scanning a certificate list should note which party holds which one.
Acumbamail's free plan covers 250 subscribers and 2,000 emails a month. The paid Basic, Pro and Enterprise plans are priced by volume and listed from €18, €50 and €157, with 20% off for annual billing, but the billing period behind those figures is not stated. Before setting Acumbamail against a monthly price elsewhere, confirm what period the €18 covers.
