About Cakemail
Overview
Cakemail is an email marketing platform built to drive results, helping teams turn every campaign into measurable growth. It combines multi-channel campaigns — email, landing pages, popups, and signup forms — with marketing automation, audience management, and email APIs for developers.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Cakemail stores customer data on Canadian servers and handles deliverability in-house. A free plan includes 6,000 monthly emails for 500 contacts, and the Email API offers 35,000 free emails per month.
Key Benefits
- Launch multi-channel campaigns that coordinate emails, landing pages, popups, and signup forms
- Automate customer journeys and drip campaigns that respond to subscriber behavior
- Grow and segment audiences with behavioral targeting, contact tags, and a preference center
- Send transactional and marketing email at scale through the Email API or SMTP
- Generate campaign content with built-in AI and validate ideas with A/B email testing
- Rely on managed deliverability covering authentication, reputation monitoring, and complaint handling
How It Works
Users create a free account without a credit card and start with essential tools, 6,000 monthly emails, and 500 contacts. From the dashboard they build campaigns with auto-branded templates and generative AI, segment their audience, set up automated flows, and launch across channels while reporting and analytics guide the next campaign.
