Transparency alternatives to Bento
Other Transactional email and notifications vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Bento. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 30 that differ from Bento on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Bento has 7 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Status page with history, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at Bento” is the one that closes them.
