  1. 01

    Total emails delivered and total unique opens.

  2. 02

    We calculate your open rate

    Open rate = (unique opens / delivered) x 100.

    Compare against benchmarks

    Industry averages for cold email, marketing email, and transactional email.

Why this matters

Open rate tells you whether your subject lines and sender reputation are working. Cold email open rates of 40-60% are typical for well-targeted campaigns. Below 20% means something is wrong with your targeting, subject lines, or deliverability.

For cold email: 40-60% is good, above 60% is excellent. For marketing email: 20-30% is typical. Below 20% for any type suggests deliverability or targeting problems.
