    The others have open rates of 50%+. Sender's was under 10%. I selected Sender because of the generous free plan.

    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.

    • The way you format email templates is pretty limited
    • The saved footer options seems glitchy. I can never get it to work right.

    Usability
    ConvertKit
    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.

    Its deliverability makes it more effective than other email marketing tools. It gives more than satisfactory results. And that shows in my organization's sales revenue.
