Audience Republic vs. Stripo

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.

Very well suited for monthly newsletters in a consistent template or format. Also beneficial for promo emails for events with the countdown feature - I really like that. Less useful for 1-1 outreach since what makes it a helpful tool is the highly polished marketing look and feel, so it's not useful for our BDR outreach which is meant to feel personal from an Outlook

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.

It is very easy to use as long as you have basic knowledge on designing terms such as padding, structures, and more. Even if you don't have the basic knowledge, it is very easy to learn after designing a couple of emails. It would be better if designs could get more complex in Stripo like in Canva but I usually just export designs from there and add them.

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.

I like Stripo the most because it feels marketing-first. Almost like the Canva for marketing teams that are not email experts, but need to own and deliver the email marketing part of their campaign themselves. It is a great tool for teams that need to deliver a large volume of emails across the team in a consistent brand look and feel.

• 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.
