AWeber vs Twilio SendGrid

• Aweber manages mailing lists particularly well. By this I mean that it handles subscribe and unsubscribe requests automatically, so you never have to worry about annoying people by accidentally sending them information they opted out of.
• Aweber provides reliable scheduling of messages. This works for newsletters that you want to write and schedule in advance as well as auto-responder sequences that you create for a specific campaign. It also connects directly to your blog and social media profiles so that you can post in one location and have it show up on all your profiles. That's really handy!
• Aweber provides detailed analytics for all of your broadcasted messages without overcomplicating things. You can easily see who received, opened, and clicked the links within your messages, so that you can consistently refine your marketing efforts.
• Aweber is also affordable. Some mailing list applications cost an arm and leg, but Aweber can easily fit into just about any budget. It's reasonable cost also allows it to pay for itself very quickly.

• Drag and drop email designer for transactional emails - super nice even though I do code, it's much quicker and easier to implement without code.
• Very simple implementation. Only a few lines of code need to be added in our backend and boom we were up and running in less than a day.
• Listening to customer feedback. They regularly send emails about new features and ask for feedback to improve their software.
• Some of the cheapest and best dedicated IPs.
• Easy integration and setup between marketing and transactional emails. Super helpful to have everything in one place.

• Aweber's drag and drop email designer could be a little easier to use.
• It is difficult to design templates for the casual user, they almost always need help.
• The user interface is a little friendlier to a techy than a noobie. MailChimp is much easier to use but I would NEVER recommend MailChimp for serious marketers.

• Actually viewing previous emails dispatched. SendGrid does not have this feature - although it provides numbers on emails dispatched within 3 days for the cheapest plan.
• The service asks you to pay more (although a minimal amount) to have visibility on email activity upto 30 days in the past.
• The API doesn't allow an export of a report of email activity over a period of time. It can be quite frustrating at times to be limited in this way.
• Their customer support isn't the best. Certainly some room for improvement there.

• If the campaign is well designed in the first place, ROI is immediate.
• Occasionally, when we do test runs, we find AWeber can even show us ways we can make our campaign even better, or catch something we had not foreseen.

• Our clients experience significant ROI from their web forms - without receipt of forms, many of them would not still be in business.
• As a solution for clients' sites, we find SendGrid is a fast installation and a 1 stop problem solver, saving us man-hours.
