// EDITOR'S TAKE
Plunk is the nearest fit because it handles marketing, transactional and broadcast email behind one API with simple automations, which is the combination that makes Bento useful. Listmonk beats it on raw bulk sending and list management but does not really do behavioural triggers, and Sendportal is a plain campaign tool for Laravel shops rather than a data-driven engagement platform.
