User Testimonials
	ConvertKit	Knak
Likelihood to Recommend	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	Knak If you have Marketo or Pardot and have emails that might be somewhat simple to slightly complex, without the budget for a developer, Knak is the right solution for you. If you have complex emails that require a lot of code or customization and have the in-house resources, Knak might not be the perfect solution Incentivized Akande Davis Marketing Communications Specialist Read full review
Pros	ConvertKit Ease of Use Reliability Segmentation Automation Incentivized NP Nick Porcaro President Read full review	Knak Well designed templates Easy integration with Marketo New templates all the time and a big library to choose from Mobile-optimized templates Incentivized Lisa Heay Marketing Consultant Read full review
Cons	ConvertKit Pricing. Google Analytics integration. Email templates and a modern interface for composing emails. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Knak Sometimes there are issues with buggy code Updates sometimes will break emails Incentivized Akande Davis Marketing Communications Specialist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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	Knak Marketo has email templates and you can, of course, create your own - but Knak makes it so much easier to create templates that are nice looking and mobile-optimized.
