Up review
A focused email engagement platform with sequences, segmentation, and campaign reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Up is an email outreach and email marketing platform for small businesses, founders, sales professionals, and marketers. It supports prospecting emails, newsletters, follow-ups, and automated campaigns through a connected email provider, typically Amazon SES. Its core toolkit combines email sequences, mass outreach campaigns, personalization fields, list segmentation, campaign reporting, and automated handling for bounces, complaints, and unsubscribes. The product is available through web and API access, with integrations for Amazon SES, Gmail, Outlook, and SendGrid.
Pricing is structured around Starter, Growth, and Custom plans. Starter costs $49 per month with annual billing or $59 per month with monthly billing, and includes unlimited emails per day powered by Amazon SES plus 50K contacts. Growth costs $99 per month annually or $149 per month monthly, adding unlimited contacts and API access while retaining unlimited daily emails powered by Amazon SES. The Custom plan includes unlimited emails, unlimited contacts, Amazon SES setup, and priority phone support. The published pricing structure makes Starter a fit for teams that need campaign capacity and list management without unlimited contacts, while Growth suits teams that need broader contact storage or API connectivity.
Up’s strongest fit is focused email campaign work: automated follow-ups, newsletter sending, segmentation, contact imports and exports, and reporting for opens, clicks, and bounces. It also handles unsubscribe, complaint, and bounce workflows automatically. The trade-off is a narrow channel focus. Published product details do not include email warm-up, mailbox rotation, multichannel outreach, or AI features, so teams seeking coordinated outreach across channels or mailbox infrastructure controls should choose another tool. Up is a practical choice for teams that want a straightforward, provider-connected email system with annual entry pricing; it is less suitable for sales organizations that need broader engagement automation.
