Audience Republic
Audience Republic is good for data acquisition using their gamified competitions, but I think that's about the only point of difference it has from Braze, Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor. While they promise to allow you to easily segment data from ticketing outlets, in my opinion, this is a blatant falsehood. In my experience, excuses come through thick and fast from the customer service team, but nothing has been resolved in the 2.5 years of using them.

Acquia
Mautic is not Salesforce or Dynamics of course; it is hard to install, still buggy and you have to know what you're doing if you want to use it. But that is your admission fee to an always free system that does essentially all the same things as the pricey alternatives, does it effectively and gives you total control. Mautic was acquired by Acquia, the company behind Drupal, and has been making substantial upgrades since that seem to be accelerating. The system has an active user community, active development and will only get better, making it an excellent choice to grow with and build your own systems around and never be dependent on third parties

  • Setting up the email templates has required hiring a professional. The templates that are provided are not fully responsive.
  • More responsive form templates are needed.

Usability
Audience Republic
It's easy enough to use, even for a beginner, but I think the usability is dampened by the terrible dynamics of the platform and, in my experience, how they create more manual labour and legwork instead of the optimisation they promise.

All of these platforms offer the same level of performance to Audience Republic, but are a lot cheaper. I didn't choose Audience Republic, it was passed down to me from a former employee. I am in the process of moving to Braze as for the exact same service they will save our company $100k a year.

Infusionsoft, at the time I tested it, had a crazy editor--very unintuitive and not very clean. Mautic (open source) makes it much easier to build up campaigns. Besides that, it didn't provide what we needed to justify the lack of possibility to self-host it and the requirement to pay for it.

Return on Investment
Audience Republic
  • Besides from the gamified competitions to attain data to then market to, literally nothing that I couldn't get from a competitor.
  • Audience Republic lie to us about how much their services cost. They were charging us 0.0053c per email send (and they upped this price without telling us one month), and a peer told me they were paying 0.0015c per send. In my opinion, they are not trustworthy.

  • We made our ROI back within a year.
  • Fulfills our needs and our client's needs, our clients love it.
  • I would just add more templates to the email construction selection, other than that, it is just perfect.
