Very similar in nature. I feel it's more just what works for your organization as to what solution you are more familiar with and the pricing structure that fits your needs. For most organizations with sales departments, I would recommend a email platform that is linked with …
Constant contact was perfect for our needs for many clients, it wasn’t overly robust, but powerful enough to see strong ROI. With regards to the competitor tools, amongst standard ESP there’s not a huge difference as they all essentially work the same, it’s just about pricing …
Along with Constant Contact, I've also used Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, and others -- but these are the main email tools I felt that it could compare to overall.
There is no real comparison, I find that Constant Contact does not have the same user-friendly interface as HubSpot. We used HubSpot and it's awesome. It has every tool we need for an all-encompassing sales and marketing software that will help deliver the results our clients …
We initially selected Constant Contact because it was a price effective software and our company was still growing. At the time, we hosted our websites locally and didn't see the need to have our email marketing platform sync with our CRM. As our companies grew, so did our …
I have used MailChimp which competes with Constant Contact. MailChimp is also a solid program though it seems as if their emails are filtered more strongly - not sure about that point, however. Big difference is the support. Constant Contact has very high level support that can …
Constant Contact is extremely limited in what they offer - essentially, everything the Hubspot email function offers is what you get with Constant Contact. However, if you have another way to track leads from your website and are just looking for a way to send out emails in a …
We moved to HubSpot from Constant Contact, which was a substantial leap forward in marketing technology. Compared to other popular solutions on the market, HubSpot is much more affordable and still gets results. A large enterprise might need a more robust marketing system with …
It does everything Constant Contact can do, and more. Instead of having your email marketing cobbled onto the rest of your campaign it is completly integrated with HubSpot

Hubspot is by far more user-friendly, intuitive and better at automation than Constant Contact. Value is also another huge plus when you compare Hubspot to Constant Contact. There are free, readily available, integrations you can use with Hubspot such as SurveyMonkey, …
Dynamics 365 is definitely harder to use and navigate, much less intuitive than HubSpot Marketing Hub. Constant Contact is fine for what it does, marketing email communications, but is much more limited in scope compared to a full Customer Relationship Management platform like …
I've used and evaluated several other marketing automation tools in addition to HubSpot Marketing Hub. Some of the notable ones include Marketo, Pardot, and Eloqua.
Each of these platforms has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, and I've found that they can be better …
we found that SharpSpring was really well suited for a small agency like ourselves. It had many (not all) of the functionalities that HubSpot has at a way better price. The problem was that we would be locked into a contract. Also, it wasn’t as streamlined and high tech as …

HubSpot is an all around inbound marketing suite while the others are just pieces.
First just to note: Pardot is just marketing automation and does not include a CMS or something in which you can build and manage a website. In addition, at least when I used it, Pardot doesn't have a blog portion to it so you'd still have to have your blog in something like …
In and of themselves these softwares work well. But none of them boast all the other softwares' capabilities as well. That was a huge selling point for us was that all the tools we used could be found in one spot.
To be technical, I have never used another lead generation or marketing platform. I have only used CRMs in the past and completely winged it on the marketing side. So of course it's way above anything else I've ever tried. Because of this, I am unable to answer this question …
HubSpot is all encompassing with an amazing user interface. It's as simple as that. Update: We use so many tools that HubSpot has to offer. Before HubSpot, we were using an email provider with a separate service for landing pages. Not cool. Too many things were disconnected by …
HubSpot provides the best product with the best customer service at the best price. It is more expensive than other marketing platforms, but we have never questioned the value in that expense, especially after hearing complaints from users of competitor platforms. It was an …
HubSpot is leaps and bounds above other marketing technology platforms that I have used. While other platforms have really been email marketing solutions, HubSpot is literally an extension of my sales and marketing team.
Other things we've used in the past have been tools that only satisfy one area of an integrated digital marketing campaign (social, email, etc.). Once HubSpot came into the picture and updated some of their tools, we no longer had a use for these tools since the cost of …
HubSpot beat these companies based on their robust power, interface, and value. Other companies wanted to charge outrageous enterprise rates for each of our locations. HubSpot worked with me to prune our contacts database and agree on a reasonable pricing package. Their sales …
HubSpot has more features than these products, however, these products offer a much quicker solution to email marketing campaigns. MailChimp and Constant Contact require VERY little to set up and provide an acceptable amount of statistics. However, they do not offer as many …
We didn't look at any other integrated systems. In the past we have used WordPress for blogging, Constant Contact for email, Joomla for web site maintenance and SalesLogix for CRM. HubSpot was selectged specifically because it will eliminate the four independent systems and the …
Marketo had more capability than what we needed. There wasn't a circumstance that I could see us using all of the functionality so it would be like buying a Porsche when you need a reliable Toyota. HubSpot has almost all of the capabilities that we need in our small business, …
I personally find HubSpot to be easier to use and to provide better functionality than most other email platforms I have used (including Constant Contact and iContact), as well as social media platforms such as HootSuite

Leaps and bounds better in terms of additional functionality.

I have only used Constant Contact before, which isn't a comparable solution. However, for emails alone, HubSpot knocks it out of the park compared to CC. The customization, templates, and even company atmosphere are hard to beat.
Users of both Constant Contact and HubSpot Marketing Hub have reported success using these platforms to streamline their email marketing campaigns. Customers of both products have achieved better lead generation and customer engagement through personalized emails and automated workflows. However, Constant Contact users have also appreciated its in-depth event management feature, which has helped them plan and promote events more effectively.
While HubSpot Marketing Hub customers have used the tool as an all-in-one marketing solution encompassing SEO, content creation, social media, and email marketing, Constant Contact has been primarily utilized for email marketing. Feedback from Constant Contact users in particular reveals that its user-friendly interface and comprehensible analytics make it easy for beginners to get started, while HubSpot’s more extensive, though slightly more complex functionality gives it an edge in overall digital marketing strategy.
Several of HubSpot Marketing Hub’s users have mentioned its solid CRM integration and the ease of tracking marketing efforts across multiple channels as a standout feature. By contrast, Constant Contact users have praised its robust email template designs and intuitive email builder. While both products offer valuable marketing solutions, the particular needs and level of digital marketing sophistication of the user may dictate preference.
