Considered Both Products	Benchmark Email Christopher Kasanda Sales Consultant Chose Benchmark Email In the past, I have used Getresponse.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Benchmark Email Benchmark is very good for sending business email for products and services and especially for sending white papers compared to the others. But it also depends on your requirements. Incentivized Helpful?	Leadpages Amy Hayes Owner & Founder Chose Leadpages I have used Mailchimp for clients, and use ActiveCampaign personally for my email marketing and have used it for clients, but prefer Leadpages for the frontend of the opt-in process because of its analytics and performance metrics. Leadpages makes it super easy to see what's … Incentivized Helpful? John Pohly Real Estate Agent & Author Chose Leadpages I used Unbounce in 2012 for a year before Leadpages. Unbounce did not have the features I needed and was not very intuitive. ClickFunnels is designed to be a full-funnel system but I have found the beginning part of a funnel (mainly the landing page) with ClickFunnels to be very … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Leadpages When I was choosing a software for landing pages there wasn't much competition. Now you can get the same thing done with many different solutions. The main problem is that when you create lots of funnels it will take a lot of time and work to move them somewhere else. This … Incentivized Helpful? Haley Fox President & CEO Chose Leadpages Well, Drip is part of leadpages, however it is more of what the title means. It does drip campaigns, where they come in and it drips them all over the place finding out what they truly need. The other platforms are fairly good, but they do not have all the functions that … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Gehrman Agency Principal Chose Leadpages When test driving Leadpages we also took a look at Instapage which, though powerful in a variety of ways, was, in my opinion, overpriced for what you were getting. I will say during our Instapage trial I was impressed by the integration and reporting capabilities, however, they … Incentivized Helpful? Javier Velazquez Co-Founder Chose Leadpages Unbounce is a great product, but if you're new to landing page builders and running lead generation campaigns in general, then I would recommend Leadpages due to the pricing and scalability (unlimited pages). You'll soon find out how important landing page design is, and how … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Leadpages Marketo is great for lead management and automation, but their landing page creation tool is very lacking.

Justin Roodman Product Marketing Manager Chose Leadpages Leadpages' and Unbounce's landing pages are both built using drag-and-drop editors, are mobile friendly (responsive), and feature a reasonable suite of integrations - including Wordpress.

Evan Kubitschek Digital Marketing Manager Chose Leadpages We selected Leadpages over Unbounce because Unbounce had awful analytics options - it was incredibly difficult to measure ROI on that platform. The builders are roughly the same, from the perspective of using a WYSIWYG editor. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Leadpages Leadpages is the market leader so it was easy to go with them. I also started using them in 2016, when there were far fewer products on the market.

Ashlie Pappas Holistic Health Practitioner / Personal Trainer / Essential Oil Expert Chose Leadpages Infusionsoft and Mailchimp both prohibit the ability to really do a lot in terms of easily customizing the landing page. Divi does allow for almost limitless customization but it is not time efficient and there are too many working parts to make sure are in place to confidently … Incentivized Helpful? Conrad O'Connell Lead Consultant & Founder Chose Leadpages Leadpages is less expensive, has options for WordPress import and also has a better support team in place in my opinion.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Leadpages I actually never used a lead page type program before but I heard from many sources that it was the BEST so I trusted that fact and bought the year subscription and never looked back.

User Testimonials
	Benchmark Email	Leadpages
Likelihood to Recommend	Their free option has no time limit and accepts an email list of 2,000 contacts. That's generous considering that some similar software have free trials limited to a month or less and will allow only about 1,000 contact lists, if not less. With that 2,000 contact space available for free on Benchmark email, I can gather 2,000 leads or buyers into my email program without paying. Thus, Benchmark Email is suited for profitability, especially for a start-up business. Christopher Kasanda Sales Consultant Read full review	If you are looking for a simple landing page builder that allows you to create professional landing pages quickly without having to involve a developer, then Leadpages can work for you. This is especially the case if you use a combination of the integrations I previously mentioned. I would also recommend subscribing to a high level than the standard version so you get access to good customer service. If you are wanting to get more creative and want flexibility with your landing pages, you want deeper reporting capabilities, or you don't use any of the integrations supported by Leadpages, I would recommend finding another landing page builder.

Pros	They have the option to incorporate email automation. HTML is available if you want to use your own templates. They give you the ability to edit some HTML on their drag and drop version. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Leadpages has an easy-to-use inteface. Page-building elements are drag and drop, similar to some versions of Wordpress, so it's pretty easy for a newbie to pick up with little training. Leadpages makes it easy to embed multimedia with simply an embed code. You don't have to know HTML to bring your pages to life with video, audio, etc. Incentivized Michelle Markelz ABM Manager Read full review
Cons	Glitchy editor - powerful drag and drop features, but precise formatting can have issues. Stagnant platform - few notable features or fixes over the past two years. Delivery Success - anecdotal customer reports suggest high percent of emails are diverted by spam filters. Incentivized Tim Colson Founder Read full review	The monthly payments are painful in the long run. Recently alternative solutions surfaced which have one time payments. Leadpages is good for quick testing, but long term it take from the profits. I haven't seen new features for a good while. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	I would give it a 10, for me, I love all the features. For the average person, the number of choices on a landing page could create a decision paradox. Thankfully the pre-designed landing page templates do not require a lot of decisions for a landing page newbie. Incentivized John Pohly Real Estate Agent & Author Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	It's by far the best support experience I've ever had with any company. Many staff members know my name and my business, I'm treated as a real person with genuine concerns, and I feel constantly rewarded by working with this company. In dealing with support, I feel like I'm dealing with trusted friends who honestly care about the results I'm getting. Incentivized Tim Bost Owner Read full review

Although it represents a noteworthy financial commitment on our part, we have discovered that it's ultimately more cost-effective than other alternatives. Incentivized Tim Bost Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	We were able to reduce recurring costs by 20% per year by buying an extended contract plan. Benchmark is more robust than our previous software, and we've been able to increase newsletter sales by about 10% per year. We were able to introduce split a/b testing into our newsletter mix, as it's a native feature of Benchmark. Incentivized Blake Baron Ecommerce & Consumer Products Manager Read full review	I was able to test content with a cold audience and really see what resonated I pivoted based on actual data, not guessing what my audience would like I was able to test a product's viability and do a beta launch all with Leadpages, without having to integrate any other platform Incentivized Amy Hayes Owner & Founder Read full review
