SaaS / Software tips

  • Segment by engagement — send more to active users, less to passive ones
  • Product changelog emails can be separate from marketing newsletters
  • Onboarding sequences can be daily for the first week, then taper off
  • SaaS users expect value — every email should teach, inform, or save time

About this tool

Sending too often causes unsubscribes. Sending too rarely means you're forgotten. This calculator recommends the right email frequency based on your industry, audience engagement, list size, and content capacity. It factors in real benchmarks — B2B audiences prefer less frequent, high-value content while e-commerce subscribers tolerate (and expect) daily promotions. Pair this with our send time optimizer to nail both when and how often to email. Track the impact with our unsubscribe rate calculator and bounce rate calculator.
