It takes 4 minutes to receive a Email!
All the features in Enharge are beautifully presented and make working with the editor extremely enjoyable.
Weaknesses:
1. Saving Emails:
It always takes a few seconds to save an email.
2. Missing Double Opt-In Process:
There is no double opt-in process. This is a huge problem for all countries in the Union, especially Germany.
3. Workaround for the Missing Double Opt-In Process:
Enharge suggests that after registration, a lead is tagged, then receives an email, and if the lead clicks on the link in the email, they are considered opted-in.
The problem with this is that it takes four minutes each time for the recipient to receive the email. This means they sign up on a form and have to wait four minutes for the first email to arrive for the opt-in.
Then they "confirm" the opt-in by clicking on a link and have to wait another four minutes to finally receive their download link.
Enharge will surely suggest that I can already include the download link in the opt-in email.
However, this is not practical or clean for me.
Furthermore, I strongly suspect that Enharge is trying to save costs by running the CRON jobs only every four minutes to save on server costs.
However, the most important function of an email marketing tool is the quick sending and delivery of emails.
Only one taco and no more. I spent my entire Saturday setting it up, only to find out that I have to wait a total of eight minutes to get to my download link.

Edited May 28, 2025Hey Lars — thanks for the honest (and very detailed!) review. Totally fair points, and I can see how this would be frustrating—especially after investing your whole Saturday into setting things up 🙏
Let me address each of your concerns directly:
1️⃣ Email delivery delay
We’re actively working to improve this. Right now, Flows can take up to a few minutes to trigger depending on system load—but it’s not intentional throttling or cost-cutting. It’s just the current architecture, and we agree it needs to be faster. Speed of automation is a top priority in our roadmap.
2️⃣ Double opt-in
You're right — we don’t currently have a native "Double opt-in" toggle in the form settings. The current method uses a Flow-based workaround (tag → confirmation email → link click), which is compliant but not as streamlined. We’re planning to build a proper, dedicated double opt-in process soon. Thanks for calling this out — we’ll also make sure the UX and documentation are clearer going forward.
3️⃣ Saving delays
Also noted—and being worked on. We recently made backend improvements to speed this up, and more updates are coming.
We’re a small, independent team (I personally bought a Tier 5 license before becoming an owner), and we’re building as fast as we can—with the community, not in spite of it. Your feedback helps us focus on what matters most.
If you give us a second shot, I think you’ll see just how far Encharge can go. Either way, thank you for calling this out so clearly.
