User Testimonials
	ConvertKit	Retainful
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	Retainful If you are looking for a WP plugin to manage your abandoned cart, Retainful is the best you can find. The UX is really nice, the platform is user-friendly and you don't need any skill to start using it from day one. You can create email automation in a few steps and offer coupon codes to grab the attention of your customers. Last but not least, Retainful has the best support team! They reply super fast, they assist you to set everything properly and they really help you to have the best service possible. Honestly, you can't ask more!

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	Retainful We use Mailchimp for email marketing but as integration with WordPress we found Retainful easier to use (automation workflow) and you can start for free! Moreover, we can generate and send coupon codes directly from the plugin, and works great with Woocommerce! It is more than one year that we use Retainful and we are completely satisfied Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
