AWeber just needs to improve landing page features and ready-made templates.

AWeber is exact in between of Eloqua and Mailchimp. It has more options and functionality then Mail chimp, but it is lighter (not as coding heavy) than Eloqua. This is a good fit if you are in the walk phase of your email strategy and have a database under 2MM

If you are evaluating an email marketing or email broadcast software that is easy to use, at a reasonable price and does the makes sure the emails get delivered in the inboxes and not in the spam folders and has all the necessary reporting functionality then try AWeber. …
Chose AWeber
We switched to AWeber from Mailchimp because the system seemed better suited for our industry, even though it is more expensive. We may go back to Mailchimp now that they have added so many features.

Constant Contact is too expensive for the value that we would receive.
Chose AWeber
We could have used the tracking systems that come with each marketing campaign software we use (or get asked to use) but we wanted the best automated permissions management system we could find. They have the experience, the technology, and the great support we are always able …

Mailchimp all of a sudden came up with all of these restrictions. I found that they did not communicate that well with their existing users. I have used Act-On at one of my customer's businesses. This is really an enterprise marketing automation tool and is not suited for …
Chose AWeber
AWeber has more capacity than Mailchimp, so it depends a lot on the need of the company. You must take into account the cost of the two. Another detail is that Mailchimp can be really tedious to configure the automation of emails. Without a doubt, AWeber has more advanced …
Chose AWeber
I found Constant Contact's dashboard and email editor clunky and annoying to use. It's been several years so perhaps they have improved and updated it.
Mailchimp is pretty comparable, and it just depends on your needs as to which is more appropriate. I do feel that Mailchimp's …
Chose AWeber
MailChimp is a great "starter" email service, especially for consumer businesses. AWeber offers a bit more power and sophistication, especially for B2B companies, while still being easy to use and price competitive. Constant Contact had seemed to lag in features for a while …

Drip is definitely for the advanced marketing team, it is not user friendly and very confusing for anyone that doesn't know how to set up a funnel. However, for anyone that does it is amazing.

The reason we [opted for] AWeber over others is for its email delivery rates. AWeber is great for freelancers, large enterprises, mid-zize business, etc. A 14% discount is available if you pay quarterly and more if you pay annually. AWeber is priced roughly in the middle of …

My organization used AWeber for about a year and has since moved to the HubSpot CRM. This was for a variety of reasons, but in terms of email marketing in particular, AWeber is still a very strong contender. If I were to start my own business, I would absolutely go back to …

AWeber is more robust, and for professional marketers because it has so many features like tagging, and moving people to different lists based on triggers. Its analytics features are important for marketing managers.

Chose AWeber
It did its job and it did it well. AWeber had all of the features of the competitors, but AWeber was the easiest to use of the bunch. The other software had too many bells and whistles and caused confusion among my team when we worked on different mailings and campaigns.
Chose AWeber
It is easier of a solution to work with when compared to other alternatives such as SendinBlue or MailChimp. Ultimately what I valued is the deliverability and quality to be able to deliver our emails. If you are seeking a more robust enterprise-level solution I would then …
Chose AWeber
Compared to Constant Contact, I find Aweber very easy to use. Setting up an autoresponder sequence is very straightforward, at least for us because we've used it for so long. Constant Contact is a very difficult and hard to use service. We hate it and knock it every chance …
Chose AWeber
I have also used Constant Contact, MailChimp, and Lead Master. I think that Aweber is superior to these other applications in it's ability to "get down to business" so to speak. By this I mean that the interface is less about cartoony graphics and done-for-you simplicity. …
Chose AWeber
If you send out less than 2000 emails monthly then MailChimp is a free alternative. It's hard to argue with free although I am not sure how much the free MailChimp version includes in terms of automation.
Chose AWeber
For small businesses MailChimp's free plan and more robust feature set is likely a better fit, unless they have prior familiarity with the Aweber platform. Klaviyo and Listrak are better suited for Ecommerce businesses.

AWeber is an excellent email marketing solution for small to mid-sized businesses, especially those that are just starting with email marketing campaigns. AWeber is also good for bloggers. But it's not perfect for an affiliate marketer who wants to make a landing page on AWeber. Businesses that require advanced segmentation options may need to consider other email marketing platforms.

Pros
AWeber
  • List building: AWeber makes it easy to grow opt-in subscribers through customizable signup forms as well an integration with tools like Sumo and Hustle Pro.
  • List segmentation: with a little more information about each subscriber, it's easy to create custom segmented lists based on different criteria.
  • Deliverability: AWeber enforces opt-in rules to keep spammers out of its system and improve deliverability rates for reputable users. We rarely have issues with our messages from AWeber being routed to spam folders.
  • Double opt-in: AWeber makes it easy to set up double opt-in to make extra certain you have a high-quality mailing list.

Cons
AWeber
  • Aweber would be even better if it had the ability to host landing pages. I have to use a tool like landingpages.net to do this if I don't want to create the landing pages as part of my client's website. If I manage their site, it isn't a problem, but it keeps me from using Aweber for clients who manage their own sites or dont' have one.
  • Aweber would greatly benefit from a more robust reseller program. Firms like mine have multiple clients and, with each client needing an individual Aweber account, it would be nice to have access to margin so that we could resell the services.
  • Along the lines of a reseller program, it would be great of Aweber allowed resellers to white label the interface and administrate multiple accounts from one agency account.

AWeber is easy and intuitive for me use. I really like the simplicity and the structure of the work flow as it saves me time. AWeber also integrates with all the other programs, systems and gateways that I use on a daily basis (WordPress, Paypal, LeadPages, Facebook and more) and if I have any questions or have trouble the AWeber customer service technicians are very helpful.

See previous answers ... the design / customization interface could be more intuitive and elegant .. for example, for me it has been difficult to easily figure out how to place pictures / images to the right, left or center of text.

Support Rating
AWeber
I have always received prompt phone or live chat support that has resolved my issues on the first call in a competent, knowledgeable and friendly manner. By contrast MailChimp offers no live chat or phone support; they only offer email support and the response time for MailChimp is slow by comparison to AWeber.

  • Aweber delivers my email fast and reliably, never had a problem tech support could not handle (by the way, their support is great!)
  • Since I have been with Aweber for so many years, I have an unlimited plan for a very affordable rate
  • Aweber may not be a sexy as some of the new kids on the block, but it is a solid offering you should consider when choosing an autoresponder
