AWeber keeps sending the whole time. You cancel only after Bento carries your mail.

Before you cancel AWeber

  • Use both Backup Data and filtered CSV exports when message history and list-level mapping matter
  • Map AWeber lists, tags, fields, and consent states before importing
  • Rebuild and test one critical workflow before moving the next one
  • Workflows, templates, forms, landing pages, integrations, and interactive reports do not transfer as executable assets
  • AWeber tags and workflows are list-specific, so duplicate people and tag meanings need careful consolidation

We are on AWeber with 12,400 contacts. We need to keep subscribers, tags, and suppressions.

Bento teamReplied

Thanks. Start with suppressions, then your list, then the flows that make money. We can review your domain setup before you send.

Teams switch for deliverability and stay for the support.

“Moving to Bento was the best thing I ever did for my list and its profitability”
Iliane L.G2
“I love how easy it is to use to design SaaS emailing sequences. You can also see rapidly which campaigns are the money makers. But what I love the most is undoubtedly the deliverability that you have once you've set up custom domain tracking”
Arnaud B.G2
“The support and community within Bento is hands down the best I've ever seen from any company, ever.”

Questions about leaving AWeber.

Will I lose my AWeber subscribers and autoresponders when I switch?
AWeber can export subscribers as CSV and can generate an account backup with subscribers and messages. Map lists, tags, fields, consent, and suppressions before importing. Workflows, templates, forms, landing pages, and integrations need to be rebuilt and tested.
Will switching hurt my email deliverability?
Any provider move can change results while authentication, reputation, audience selection, and sending patterns stabilize. No provider can guarantee an improvement. Preserve suppressions, authenticate the domain, start with recent engaged recipients, and compare the same cohorts before and after the move.
How long does an AWeber migration take?
Subscriber exports can be quick, but total time depends on the number of lists, workflows, templates, landing pages, forms, integrations, and reports you must map or rebuild. Use a phased cutover and keep AWeber active until critical journeys pass end-to-end tests.
Will there be downtime?
No. Keep AWeber running while you import, test, authenticate your sending domain, and warm up. Once Bento is ready, move your sending and phase out AWeber.
Can the Bento team help if I get stuck?
Yes. The team can review your current setup, help you decide what to move first, and advise on deliverability, data mapping, and launch order.
