Considered Multiple Products	ActiveCampaign BW Brittany Warman CEO Chief Executive Officer Chose ActiveCampaign Mailchimp simply did not have all the features we were looking for, particularly with regard to list segmenting and automation.

User Testimonials
	ActiveCampaign	Brevo	Text-Em-All
Likelihood to Recommend	I've been using ActiveCampaign since around 2018-2019 and I've always been satisfied with the software. It's simple to use, connects with the other tools I use and makes it easy for me to duplicate automations, email templates and workflows as I need to. On top of that, any time I've had an issue (which I think is around twice in the past 5/6 years), the customer service has always been super helpful and my issue has been resolved quickly. Incentivized RH Rebecca Hawkes Confidence Coach & Content Creator Read full review	I wanted to pull a publication from MailChimp and park it elsewhere. Brevo was a bit of a pain to set up, but after I invested the onboarding time, it's been a cost-effective way to produce this newsletter. I would encourage someone to build in the time with both templates and editor. After that, using Brevo is as easy as using other services. Incentivized George Bounacos COO Read full review	We have found them to be very good for immediate communication of a brief message to a large number of people at once. Thus, it works perfectly for a neighborhood association. It may not be suitable for longer messages or situations with excessive notifications. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	The graphic design is very good, especially fonts, colours and templates Flexibility of design and functionality Takes a little while to learn it, but generally user-friendly Looks very professional but doesn't cost much to get started There are masses of integrations for ActiveCampaign, and the ones I tried all worked well and didn't take long to figure out. Incentivized SA Sabrina Allison Managing Director Read full review	Sendinblue allows you to send emails that do not arrive in spam Sendinblue, through its security measures and filters, helps keep contact databases well organized and up to date Sendinblue offers an easy-to-use newsletter creation tool and, in case of lack of inspiration, many templates Incentivized Maxime Zelis Infographiste Read full review	The ability to customize the rate of outgoing calls in order to avoid getting overwhelmed. The ease of use makes their service beneficial to me rather than another chore on my list. Giving details on how much my message will cost and giving me the ability to modify it in real-time to control what I am spending. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	The email designing part could be easier to use. There are certain simple shortcuts that don't work, for example, adding links is more complicated than it should be, moving blocks around is hard, etc. There's no good way to filter by 'active' and 'inactive' subscribers when editing en-mass. I'd like more reporting data on one page. Incentivized Ellie Busby Nutritional Therapist Read full review	not easy to move/duplicate sections. much easier to just drag and drop. still working this out. don't like the logo or text included with the newsletter sign up form. have now upgraded, but think this should not be included for lower pricing plans not getting issues completely answered by support team. currently have an issue with email sign up not working on mobile. have been told it is not working, but not given any suggestions on how to fix this. have had unusual issue come up with a link. On 2 separate occasions, with 2 separate newsletters that went out, and 2 different images/articles/links, the link was wrong. Even though we checked it, previewed it and sent test email before we sent out these newsletters and these links were correct. It is the section at the bottom of our current newsletter. On both these occasions, when the customer has forwarded the email they received to us, the link was was to an old link - and it was the same old link on both occasions. We have asked for this to be looked into and are waiting on reply. We are going to try to delete this section this week and re-create. It is not a good look for us. We have another issue with how our newsletter is previewing in Outlook. The images and the text are not lining up - not on every section, but on 2 sections out of the 5 sections. Also, the Read Full Article text in the button is not showing properly. Again, not a professional look for us which we are not happy with. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	My initial concern was regarding the "opt out" feature. I work with the senior population, and many of whom are not that tech-savvy. I have a couple of residents who had unintentionally opted out of messages thinking it was an individual message they were skipping. I would suggest that there be a clarifying question when a user chooses to opt out; it should default to opting out of a single message and survey the user to see if they would like to opt out of receiving additional messages. My residents were wondering why they were missing information and why I hadn't informed them of important dates and events. Incentivized KT Kimberly Taylor Property Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	I am committed at the moment. Rebuilding the automations I have would be a huge time drain. Plus the cost of learning a new system and the risk to deliverability of porting a 6,000 person list to a new platform. Also, AC offers everything I need ast a reasonable (but a little high) price. So, why not a 10? Because, early 2023, AC dropped a massive 2x price hike on long-term customers. They knew few would shift, so this feels like a cynical cash grab and left a bad taste, If they do something like this again, this camel will have a broken back. Incentivized Mike Clayton Owner Read full review	SendinBlue is providing an excellent value to my business by simplifying and speeding up the way that we interact with our customers Incentivized Cameron Andrews Owner Read full review	Text-Em-All is a great way to get messages to our associates versus posting on a memo board and hoping they see it. Very efficient. I would recommend this great tool to companies big or small as a form of business related communications. The only thing I would change is the ability to use more characters in the messages. And it would be a plus if you can translate to different languages in the app. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	ActiveCampaign has been the easiest marketing automation software we have ever used. They provide tips throughout the entire process of anything you are building. Their support team through LIVE CHAT has been extremely fast and helpful. The monthly meetings provided with the enablement team has helped us through several large and urgent needs. Matt Dickerson President of Catalyst Movies Read full review	It's okay, it's easy to use, has good features, and good automation options, but it lacks better delivery support. Many messages end up in spam, even though I have a dedicated IP address that I pay for separately, and I think it needs more design options to make emails stand out, especially in terms of typography. That's why I'm not giving it a 10. It also lacks integration with other tools. EStá bien, es fácil de usar, tiene buenas funcionalidades, tiene buenas opciones de automatización, le falta mayor apoyo en cuanto a entrega, muchos de los mensajes se vana spam, aun cuando tengo una IP dedicada que pago por aparte y creo que faltan opciones de diseño para que los correos puedan ser diferentes, sobre todo en tipografía. Por eso no le doy 10. Falta integración con otras herramientas. Angelica Soler Directora Read full review	It's fantastic. In general, it's a 10. But I give it a 7 because of the way I know it can improve. I save my workers' names in lists...and I have only the first and last name fields to classify them. I grade my workers based on their experiences and based on their jobs; so I use the last name field to group them. This could be easier by you adding another field. Incentivized HV Holly Verbeck Senior Office Manager Read full review
Reliability and Availability	I haven't experienced application errors or unplanned outages at all. Active Campaign is ultra reliable and I would not be using them if that were the case. Also, the helpful emails they send are welcomed and informative, and present very practical tips and guidance for using the platform. They're always demonstrating new features and I'm thankful for that. Incentivized Michelle Hill Book & Publishing Consultant Read full review	I have never had any planned outages in the time I have been using the software and have had no issues with accessing it.

Performance	Oh my gosh, Active Campaign's performance gets an A+++ in my book. The pages load quickly and so do the reports. I haven't noticed any slowdowns when it's integrating with other programs and it performs excellently on all levels. Incentivized Michelle Hill Book & Publishing Consultant Read full review	Everything loads very quickly, it saves as you go along so you're unlikely to loose work if your computer fails. Reports are there immediately too so you're able to act quickly on customer engagement. Nathaniel Bradley Website Manager Read full review	I love the performance it provided us. Also, want to clarify that the time it takes to send out a mass text is amazing Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	This might be the best part. The chat support lady offered to make a video to help me solve my problem. I worked in customer service for years and I've never done that, lol. So, if they're offering things like that, I can only imagine that they'd be able to handle most any issue you throw at them. Incentivized CJ Chesare Johnson Producer/Audio Engineer Read full review	These people helped me identify errors when setting up DKIM and were more than helpful in trying to diagnose low open rates with a few campaigns identifying where improvement can be made and how to more effectively manage contact lists. The support is excellent. Incentivized Justin Germino Owner of Dragon Blogger Technology Read full review	There have been few times over the last 18 years that I have had to make changes to our billing or deal with particular tech questions and I have never had any issues with their response time or ability to be helpful once the issues were communicated Incentivized MM Mitchell Minson Senior Pastor Read full review
Implementation Rating	Very satisfied with our implementation in our professional medical practice, allowing us to be on top of client service, and not miss out on crucial information and insights. Marketing is often neglected in professional practices and ActiveCampaign solved this problem with aplomb. Incentivized William Ainslie Practice Owner & Founder Read full review	If you follow all the steps of the setup process they give you, any one can set this up in about 1 - 2 hours. Incentivized Kenny Williamson Systems Administrator Read full review	This was the best way we were able to reach out to everyone we wanted to, being that there were some not tech-sabi elderly people. This was a better way for them to be able to get the information they needed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I transitioned from Mailchimp to ActiveCampaign because it was so much more user friendly and allowed me to do a lot more in regards to lead magnets than Mailchimp can. For example, ActiveCampaign allows users to sign up for a lead magnet as many times as they like to keep receiving it (in case they've lost or deleted the email with access to the lead magnet). Mailchimp was unable to do this. And the categorization of users and the trigger email sequencing was a lot easier in ActiveCampaign. Incentivized SP Sarah Patterson CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review	Well, these other tools do the same thing, they contribute to email campaigns; however, we tried them and stopped using them because they are not at all simple, and we believe that Brevo is the simplest, most intuitive, and most effective tool that exists for this type of strategy, so we decided to stick with it. Bueno estas otras herramientas hacen lo mismo, aportan a las campañas de mailing sin embargo las probamos y dejamos de usarlas ya que no son para nada sencillas y creemos que brevo es lo mas sencillo, intuitovo y efectivo que existe para este tipo de estrategias por ello decidimos quedarnos Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Our last provider was costly for what we needed. We need the ability to text, and that's it. The sense was challenging to navigate; I had to sign a one-year contract and pay thousands upfront. Text-em-all has been the best thing.

Scalability	My web designer told me about Active Campaign and although I don't recall which platform I had before, I LOVE Active Campaign and its user friendliness. The transition was seamless and I've never had a problem with functionality or server failure. Active Campaign provides so many features, and makes it easy for non-techies to maneuver around the site with ease. They capture information and put it in an easy-to-read format. At this point, I don't think I'd ever use any other platform! Incentivized Michelle Hill Book & Publishing Consultant Read full review	They have multiple options for upgrading bigger senders or if you need more emails sent in a month.

Return on Investment	Automations free up time - once set up, email campaigns execute in seconds Emailing my newsletter is a second touch-point for my clients The flat rate for my subscription means that I reach my clients and prospects for fractions of a cent each month Incentivized Joseph Arroyo Owner Read full review	Saved us over 80% of what we used to pay aWeber for the exact same services Maintained similar effectiveness in email blast/newsletter open rates (slightly less than aWeber but within margins) Saves us an incredible amount of time in content creation using Brevo content editor Verified User Anonymous Read full review	100% of the company received reliable information at the same time for the first time without having to hold a “town hall” which used to cause all work to stop for at least 15-20 mins. Because work no longer has to stop for verbal communication announcements, 7.5 hours total of work is saved for every message sent. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
