Act-On Software vs. Heyflow

We often have quick turnaround time requests, and Act-On's new composer is great because it is easy to make an email look great in desktop or mobile views. This has been a huge time-saver for us! We have benefited from using Act-On for many years and are accustomed to where everything is and how to use it. For the new accounts we train, we will sometimes hear that the organization of where things are could be improved.

Heyflow is very well suited for creating landing pages or simple forms for recruiting employees. It's also excellent as an order form for generating leads. However, it's not suitable for surveys or appointment requests. Furthermore, it's very easy to use, even for users with no prior experience in this area.

• The templates are easy to use and set up campaigns.
• It's simple to use, and the email editor features a drag-and-drop interface.
• It's easy to set up a drip campaign or a series of scheduled emails.
• It has the flexibility of having a variety of scheduling options and the use of user experience automation.

• anyone can do it, reduces cost/need for engineering team help
• fast to get started, there isn't a lot to implement
• designing and setting up the flow is easy
• allows both out of the box or fully custom options, which makes it compatible with any project

Incentivized

• The designer tools, especially for emails, were often difficult to use. The formatting of the text would be all over the place and change / refuse to change at random. Moving boxes around was shifty and sometimes nearly impossible. It just wasn't customizeable enough. No "undo" functionality either.
• The only way to collect information expansively over time (there's a term Act-On uses for it, I can't recall) where it adds questions to the form each time a user fills it out, is if the person were to fill out the same form multiple times. I know this does happen for some websites/resources, but as a company that wanted to collect new information each time someone filled out any form, regardless of the resource or the URL, that was simply not an option, and that doesn't really make a lot of sense. I know it's not really possible to track someone but if they filled out the first part of the form and then it added new questions to answer, and then they submitted and got through the gating, that would actually be helpful.
• There was no "trash can" of sorts in case you deleted something by mistake. This could be so stress-inducing if it was a major project. My coworker did this once, contacted Act-On, they couldn't even recover it.

• Restricted webhook functionality, wed like to be able to map fields without having to post the full request and change the receiving webhook our end to cater to Heyflow
• a/b testing, not being able to 'keep' older variants which we may want to retest later
• little things like we only do uk market so all phone numbers start with 01 or 07 so we want to have a placeholder example thats familiar to the user eg 07766554433 but the system is restricted to +447766554433 which is a conversion factor for us

It's my single biggest asset in my current role. With limited resources, its enabled Anachron to punch well above our weight marketing wise and although we're still at the beginning of our journey I know the system can scale with us

Heyflow hat mich von Anfang an begeistert – und das nicht nur wegen der intuitiven Benutzeroberfläche. Die Plattform schafft es, komplexe Prozesse wie Leadgenerierung, Qualifizierung oder Terminvereinbarungen in einfache, interaktive und visuelle Erlebnisse zu verwandeln.







In wenigen Minuten lassen sich Flows erstellen, anpassen und live schalten – ohne auf Entwickler warten zu müssen.







Mit Features wie progressiver Datenerfassung, A/B-Testing, personalisierter Ansprache und reibungsloser UX steigern wir messbar die Conversion Rates. Ich kann CI-konforme, moderne und mobiloptimierte Flows gestalten, die genau zu der Zielgruppe passen. Für mich ist Heyflow nicht nur ein Tool, sondern ein echter Gamechanger im digitalen Marketing. Es verbindet Effizienz mit Kreativität – und das mit einem Wow-Effekt für Nutzer und Kund:innen

It's a great tool for our business, and we get a fantastic ROI on it every year based on wins for customer service and automation responses. It's save projects, repaired salesperson/customer relationships and generated new sales and interest yearly. We really wouldn't hesitate to recommend this platform at all.

Heyflow is very user-friendly and intuitive, especially for non-technical users. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to design and launch interactive flows quickly, and the real-time preview feature is a big plus.
I’m giving it an eight because while it’s great for most standard use cases, there are some limitations in advanced logic, dynamic behavior, and custom styling that can require workarounds.

I have always found them quick to respond to my query by web inquiry. In those instances when I call, I have always reached help quickly. They are conscientious and skilled in discussing my concern and finding a solution to my problem. Other tech organizations should use Act-On as a model for top-notch customer service.

There have been no notable outages of HEyflow to date, not even in the past. If an outage is imminent, HEyflow will announce it in good time. If it occurs unexpectedly, SUpport will find a solution as quickly as possible. In some cases, a different server solution has been offered temporarily to minimize downtime. All in all, the response times of the support team are excellent.

Great for the most part. Sometimes there are little lags, but that's likely because I'm requesting to see a lot of data at one time.

Heyflow's performance is truly exemplary and fast. We have never had any performance issues, regardless of how many visuals or videos we used. Unfortunately, we cannot comment on integrations, as we do not use any except for a Meta Pixel. However, even this has not affected our performance so far.

Since we start using Act-on for ourselves and our clients, we have been supported very well. Often we need to integrate with legacy systems and we find the support team on our side during the whole endeavor. Always asking if they can help us further, always willing to do a better job. The support of Act-On is one of the main differentiators

Heyflow's support is truly world-class. Whether via chat or email, you'll receive genuine help. If a problem can't be resolved immediately, they'll look into it and usually get back to you the next day. Their response time is generally very fast compared to other companies. It's also possible to book a free appointment at any time, during which a representative will contact you by phone to offer advice and assistance on how to improve your performance.

Dan D. was great. He took the time to understand how I needed the program to run, and was very flexible to our special CRM setup.

Act-On had a lot of resources, and their staff was great at answering any questions I had to make sure we got started on the right foot. Looking back, I would have preferred some additional training sessions since we didn't have any previous experience with Marketing Automation and best practices.

What impressed me most is that Act-On showed full committment in making our implementation successful, even when it required additional support from their team. This gave me a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings. Most other software software vendors are not anywhere close to being this responsive and effective

I had already used Heyflow at my previous company because I was familiar with it from a service provider. Therefore, it was an easy decision to implement Heyflow again. The implementation was very straightforward, just as planned. There were absolutely no problems, and it worked perfectly from the start. But that's precisely what makes Heyflow so great!

Act-On is easier to use than Marketo, but not as visually appealing and user-friendly as HubSpot. It's much better than Pardot, as Pardot feel clunky every step of the way. SharpSpring is comparable because of its price point but surpasses Act-On in its tools and intuitive interface. We selected Act-On because of the pricing model and thought all things would be close to parity with other options. It depends on the team you have. If you have developers and a marketing team that knows some html/css, you can get by with Act-On.

Heyflow Vs. Typeform = Heyflow wins because of design flexibility as TF is very stuck in their typical classical look. Heyflow also comes with a plethora of more options to improve lead quality and has drop-off analytics as standard. Heyflow Vs. Growform = This one is tougher as I think Growform is very competitive with what you get value-wise like no charge for phone and email network validations against Twilio and Neverbounce API's. Also Growform comes with a much more generous submission count for their smaller tiers AND I'm not capped by the amount of forms.

No, I wouldn't change any of Heyflow's terms and conditions or price. The price-performance ratio is simply impressive. I don't know of any other provider that offers a platform that allows you to start from scratch without any prior knowledge and gives you top-notch support at all times, helping you optimize your flows and get even more out of them.

Before I feel like I need more features, the Act-On customer service reps are contacting me telling about new features as part of my account.

The overall scalability is excellent in Heyflow. We have the ability to work across locations as a team without any limitations; it doesn't matter how many team members we have or how many customers we cover. The scalability and flexibility also allow us to serve our customers with the same account and thus cover different business segments when it comes to online forms.

• With the Automated Series, we were able to put in place campaigns that generated revenue that took no time to continue running once set up. This was a positive feature allowing employees to work on another project while the campaign ran on their own.

• Improved lead quality, since we can filter and guide users based on their answers before sending them to sales.
• Faster time-to-market for launching new funnels, reducing development costs.
