Email marketing buyers in May 2026 face a crowded field that mixes self-hosted newsletter managers, marketing automation platforms, email infrastructure, template builders, and adjacent customer engagement tools. This section uses the supplied ToolVitals dataset for Email Marketing Tools, including health score, shipping score, GitHub stars, ToolVitals score, status, rank, and the provided product descriptions.
The ranking is ordered by ToolVitals score first, with GitHub stars used only as a secondary popularity signal when scores are tied. That means a smaller project can rank above a better-known one if its combined health and shipping signals are stronger in this dataset.

Top 3 Highlights
distribute.you ranks first with a ToolVitals score of 94, the highest in the dataset. Its standout signal is shipping: it has a 100 shipping score, paired with an 89 health score. The GitHub footprint is small at 3 stars, so this ranking is driven by ToolVitals health and shipping signals rather than repository popularity.
Listmonk ranks second with a ToolVitals score of 90 and an Excellent status. It combines a 91 health score with an 88 shipping score, giving it one of the most balanced profiles in the list. It also has 19,995 GitHub stars, the strongest popularity signal among the top-ranked email marketing tools.
Mautic ranks third with a ToolVitals score of 89. Its 90 health score and 88 shipping score put it very close to Listmonk on the core ToolVitals metrics, while its 9,596 GitHub stars show substantial open-source attention. In this dataset, it sits firmly in the Excellent group.
