They’re both pretty similar software, however Mailchimp maybe more intuitive. I think they are similar in terms of deliverability at this point. Constant Contact might be more bang for the same buck.
We use BEE Pro to create our emails; we like their email builder. However, when sending emails, Constant Contact is much better. They allow more emails to be sent out at once and let us store more contacts within the program. Constant Contact has greater flexibility and variety …

Chose Constant Contact
Very similar in nature. I feel it's more just what works for your organization as to what solution you are more familiar with and the pricing structure that fits your needs. For most organizations with sales departments, I would recommend a email platform that is linked with …
In my view, If I were made aware of Constant Contact's lack of performance, I would have never created an account. I would rather use Wix, or even just social media! It would be more effective, user-friendly, and less costly or stressful, I believe.
Constant Contact stacks up well with MailChimp. While MailChimp is more powerful in certain ways (e.g. more robust reporting and automation), Constant Contact's simplicity makes the product easier to use for many users. I would recommend Constant Contact for those looking for a …
We selected Constant Contact as our initial platform. As we began to use the product, we found that we did not use all of its functionality and did have a few issues. After consulting other peers, we selected Mailchimp as our platform, which better fits our marketing needs.
it is the youngest sibling compared to the much more competent and capable older brother that is Marketo Engage. The reports, database management, and complete control of email designs, and interaction of recipients does not compare. Constant Contact is a great entry-level …

Chose Constant Contact
Constant Contact is much more intuitive for people who are not tech-savvy. Also, while sendgrid offered more options in it's drag and drop interface, it displayed differently across different email clients, which made it very cumbersome to use. It also took much longer to …
Overall, Constant Contact is the easiest to use with one of the lower price points. It is a great entry-level tool for a beginner in order to graduate into more sophisticated platforms. The design features are a good start along with the subject line testing which is helpful …
Constant contact was perfect for our needs for many clients, it wasn’t overly robust, but powerful enough to see strong ROI. With regards to the competitor tools, amongst standard ESP there’s not a huge difference as they all essentially work the same, it’s just about pricing …
Overall we chose Constant Contact over Mailchimp because we felt the price was a better use of our non-profit funding. Reviews of Mailchimp showed led us to believe that Constant Contact was easier to use and had better customer service. We've found that Constant Contact has …
Our company has used Constant Contact for years. We are unfamiliar with other options and have not been so disappointed with Constant Contact's features as to look for another service.
They are all very similar in what they do. For my WordPress clients, there are many plugins that make email sign-up forms a breeze to connect to the email lists. Constant Contact has some more budget-friendly options.
Constant Contact stands out from its competitors through an easy user interface that a person with any skill level can quickly learn and start using without much guidance.
Along with Constant Contact, I've also used Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, and others -- but these are the main email tools I felt that it could compare to overall.
There is no real comparison, I find that Constant Contact does not have the same user-friendly interface as HubSpot. We used HubSpot and it's awesome. It has every tool we need for an all-encompassing sales and marketing software that will help deliver the results our clients …
I have used both Emma and Constant Contact. I prefer Constant Contact as it seems to just run smoother from data management to content creation and understanding results. I was not involved in the selection of Constant Contact for my organization but would gladly recommend it …
We use Eloqua for our corporate mailing that is mass mailings. It was too complex for local marketing. This allows them to have an easy-to-use tool to communicate with applicants and businesses.
I've used Mailchimp and YMLP, and Constant Contact handily beats them - with the exception that CC's WordPress integration is lacking when compared to Mailchimp. The plugin is buggy and not as well maintained as the competition.
