dotMailer vs. Stripo

Well suited for a company with a larger marketing budget as this is a costly program compared to the other ESPs. If your use case is not eCommerce, you would probably be better off with a standard ESP like Drip.

Very well suited for monthly newsletters in a consistent template or format. Also beneficial for promo emails for events with the countdown feature - I really like that. Less useful for 1-1 outreach since what makes it a helpful tool is the highly polished marketing look and feel, so it's not useful for our BDR outreach which is meant to feel personal from an Outlook

• Easy Editor - no HTML required. It's very easy to drag and drop your elements, customizing the campaign according to your needs.
• Reports- the reports are robust, showing you your open rates, browsers used, who clicked what, etc. It is easy to section out this information and deliver it to the appropriate stakeholders.
• Templates - building your own template library makes creating and sending campaigns and quick and easy experience. In a global company like ours, it also enables consistency across the brand locations throughout the world.

• Templates.
• Brand Guidelines.
• Exporting to our email sending tool.

• Integration is overly complex.
• Cannot progressively profile from anything other than an email address.

Since this is used on a global scale and it is preferable to all of our brands, I cannot see us switching to a different provider. We have built years worth of contacts and templates within our current system, which saves our marketing team a lot of time when putting together future campaigns. All of them are mobile optimized which makes it even easier to work with

It is very easy to use as long as you have basic knowledge on designing terms such as padding, structures, and more. Even if you don't have the basic knowledge, it is very easy to learn after designing a couple of emails. It would be better if designs could get more complex in Stripo like in Canva but I usually just export designs from there and add them.

DotMailer is built for eCommerce. Drip, ActiveCampaign, and Infusionsoft are not eCommerce platforms out of the box, though they can be tailored to that use case. DotMailer is especially geared toward retail businesses.

I like Stripo the most because it feels marketing-first. Almost like the Canva for marketing teams that are not email experts, but need to own and deliver the email marketing part of their campaign themselves. It is a great tool for teams that need to deliver a large volume of emails across the team in a consistent brand look and feel.
