    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.

    I recommend it for those who are maybe 1-2 employees in their business--in other words, people just starting online with their business. It's priced right, so you can still make money with few sales. Plus, the ongoing support really helps you understand how to navigate the platform. It probably wouldn't be as great for someone who has thousands of people taking a course or someone who can afford a platform like Kajabi, where you can have everything right there. Because it doesn't host everything you need, it is for the frugally minded or smaller clientele biz owner.

    Pros
    ConvertKit
    • Literally unlimited templates for designing the Email campaigns
    • Launching a landing page to capture leads (emails) quickly
    • Analytics to track almost everything including delivery rates gives the ability to optimise next/future campaigns accordingly
    • Newly launched journey or drip email campaigns is great as well

    Cons
    ConvertKit
    • I think the dashboard could benefit form allowing more customization
    • The way you format email templates is pretty limited
    • The saved footer options seems glitchy. I can never get it to work right.

    • I do wish you could host video right on the platform. You can't now but have to use other video sites.
    • I wish you could tailor the domain to reflect back to a page on your website.
    • I like the marketplace page but wish you could design it a little bit differently.
    • It's hard for people to cancel a subscription on their own.

    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.

    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.

    Both Teachable and Kajabi are much higher priced. I feel like the look of Teachable is no better than MemberVault, and so I wouldn't want to pay more for that platform. Kajabi is much more aesthetically pleasing in how it looks and all you can do, but the price is at least 3-4 times more per month. I also wanted a platform that would let me have few people, and they let me start on a free plan initially. The others did not.

    • Since starting with MemberVault 4 years ago, I went from 0 customers to 850 clients, with about 220 paying customers.
    • I've grown my mailing list by about 1000 by using this platform.
    • I wish they worked with all email providers because I have to pay more for Zapier. This hurts my sales profit.
    • Their plan to grandfather us into the price we originally paid helps me save money each year as I add more products.
