User Testimonials
	ConvertKit	Drip Ecommerce CRM
Likelihood to Recommend	For us, it started with a smaller use case of captured leads, nurture them overtime to convert for services. Later we expanded our use case and started using integrations and automations to improve the conversions and automate some tasks as well. Based on that I totally feel someone who is creator and trying to diversify the income across building audience, community, paid Newsletter etc will suits the best. If you are just using it for email campaigns then it might not justify the price tag considering there are other cheaper alternatives that's available in the market. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Drip is my top recommendation for most people who have an existing business and audience and want to move beyond basic email broadcast and drip campaigns and start building out more personalized sequences. I don't recommend the tool for people starting out, or for anyone that isn't bringing in solid profit every month as there are cheaper tools out there to get started with. Incentivized Steve Palfreyman Founder Read full review
Pros	Emails landing in subscribers inbox. Free mailing address that customers can use. Robust tagging system for managing funnels and targeting users with optimized emails. Broad integrations available for other platforms and optin form plugins. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I think the workflows from Drip are particularly well done. It is easy to see how someone might work their way through my system. It is easy to set up the campaigns as Drip walks you through each step. Drip shows you how many people have been on your website and how your forms are performing well. Incentivized Ellen McDowell Founder Read full review
Cons	When I first started using ConvertKit, I found it hard to create a landing page. I am pretty technical but when I had to customize my page using HTML, I got lost. I thought I could get up and running within an hour (build the page, create the list, and set up automation), but I soon realized I had to upgrade to use automation and setting up took me more than 3 hours. The learning curve had me stuck. I got frustrated and reached out to support. ConvertKit is not for a non-tech person. There are not enough templates to get up and running within an hour. ConvertKit is simply email marketing and landing pages for list building. It could offer a little more. The analytics can be a bit more in depth. Incentivized LaMeshia Conley Digital Strategist Read full review	Pricing is a bit on the higher side but well worth it so long as you're using it Direct integration with Salesmate vs going through Zapier Incentivized Matthew Gehrman Agency Principal Read full review
Usability	Can be summed up in three words that 'It just Works'. Crafted for creators and artists in mind, it offers all they need for start building up list. Free tier is really a good move to test out stuff. I am staying with them considering their good email delivery and simple interface and easy integration with our website software. WYSIYG Editor, Standard reporting but not deep level analytics gives all the basic tools needed to support the business. Incentivized Rohit Langde Marketing Manager Read full review	It’s easy for not just experts, but anyone. Both of my VAs picked it up really quickly Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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	We decided to move away from Mailchimp when they announced the changes to their service plans. We cast a wide net and ended up boiling it down to Drip, Klaviyo, Omnisend, and Constant Contact. They all have a similar set of features, but Drip was willing to work with us on price instead of simply referring us to their tiered plans. Even though they don't have a direct integration with our e-commerce platform it was obvious they were willing to help us make the connection via their API.

Return on Investment	Greatly limits the number of client questions we receive Improves our customer service Tracks the number of leads we get over a period of time Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We've seen a 45 percent increase in customer survey completions, due to automated reminders and campaigns. We've seen a 10 percent increase in customer traffic on our website. We've seen a 300 percent increase in online credit applications on our website and form conversions.
