AllProWebTools vs. Mail250

It works very well for my cooking business.

I don't think it's well-suited for anyone. In my opinion, the low cost is not worth the extremely poor deliverability.

• The CRM holds all of my contacts and it is already integrated with all of my other tools.
• The Email Management system is already integrated with all of my other tools. This means that I do not have to download CSVs and upload them to a separate email program everytime I want to send out an email blast.
• I can take payments in the same system that has my email marketing and CRM. This means that I can create tags and send different email campaigns depending on if I have received payment or not.
• The website hosting means that I can use the same software to update my blog and gallery of food pictures.
• I can sell tickets to my cooking classes from the same software that manages everything else that I do in my business.
• I use the task manager that is built in to remind me of things I need to do. I really like that it is tied into my CRM so I can tag tasks to specific clients.
• The built in timecard system allows me to "clock in" to whatever client that I am working on so that my time and hourly rate are automatically calculated for me. My invoices are sent automatically on the first of each month.

• Affordable
• Relatively easy to use
• Support was fine
• Has some attractive features like email verification

• QuickBooks Integration
• More email templates
• They do not have an app

• In my experience, deliverability is terrible
• UI feels old and limited
• Did not follow up to refund request
• Due to my poor overall experience, I'm very doubtful in the reliability of their features like email verification

I used to use Microsoft Excel to organize my business - but it got pretty crazy pretty fast.

I picked Mail250 because they seem designed for sending 1-time bulk mail for an affordable price.
Open rates for MailerLite, GetResponse,
ConvertKit, and SendPulse were all over 50%. Sender.net was extremely low at under 10%. Mail250 was around 10%, but also had an extremely high bounce rate of 10%.

• It just makes it easier for me to track what is going on in my business.
• I like having everything in one place, instead of a bunch of different programs.

• Unable to use it due to poor deliverability
