User Testimonials
	Cakemail	ConvertKit
Likelihood to Recommend	Cakemail Sometimes creativity is lacking in me and that is where Cakemail comes in and saves the day. I am glad that I can receive creative help from this awesome brand. The pricing is very affordable, in my opinion. It makes this platform a no-brainer! Incentivized Grace Bitzer Real Estate Agent Read full review	ConvertKit It is perfect for artists and content creators. It is perfect for service based providers who want to house their potential leads. Entry level entrepreneurs can also benefit. It is not an all in one type of platform, but it is useful for list building and setting up automation. If you have less than 1K subscribers, this is the route to go until you need to use automation. Then, just feel free to upgrade. Incentivized LaMeshia Conley Digital Strategist Read full review
Pros	Cakemail Their templates are easy to use and visually appealing Visibility into our contact information is great Verified User Anonymous Read full review	ConvertKit Ease of Use Reliability Segmentation Automation Incentivized NP Nick Porcaro President Read full review
Cons	Cakemail An external package – like PHP support – Cake's component doesn't have that. I'd like to be able to view my user click rate and click frequency at the same time, to be able to compare it – they don't offer that. There's always room for improvement – but what Cakemail does well, it does very, very well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	ConvertKit Pricing. Google Analytics integration. Email templates and a modern interface for composing emails. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cakemail I have used other email platforms before, but I think Cakemail is easier to use AND provides you with templates. For the other products I have tested out, you had to create your own templates from scratch. I like the ability to create from scratch, but on days where you lack the time or creativity, there are templates ready to go for you Incentivized Grace Bitzer Real Estate Agent Read full review	ConvertKit The other products I have used are not available on TrustRadius. I used ConvertKit before I used these other products because I need an all in one platform. Incentivized LaMeshia Conley Digital Strategist Read full review
Return on Investment	Cakemail Easily track the success of your email campaigns Verified User Anonymous Read full review	ConvertKit Prospect follow up is much easier than it used to be with fewer real prospects slipping through the cracks My return clients percentages have increased since I started using Convertkit Incentivized NP Nick Porcaro President Read full review
