    WhatCounts
    How big is your email list? For the money WhatCounts allows us to manage a large list and gives us great tools. If you have a small list this product might be more than you need. How many emails do you want to send? WhatCounts charges by the email and of course you get a better price per email the more emails you send. If you will not be sending many emails or are sending to a small list WhatCounts might not be the right tool for you.

    Pros
    Drip Global, Inc
    • Simplicity + power. Drip is one of the quickest platforms to use in terms of setting up simple drip email sequences. Yet it also packs enormous power if you need to do complex automation.
    • Drip's direct integrations with other systems mean you can easily create hyper-personalized communications and anybody can set this up.
    • Drip's Javascript embed is easy to setup and great for helping to build deeper insights into customer behavior as well as triggering automation.

    WhatCounts
    • We receive super customer service from a dedicated account representative.
    • The list management tools are easy to use and give us granular insight into what users are opening and where they are clicking.
    • The analytics give us a variety of ways to look at the types of devices being used to view our content and the ways our users interact with content. For example we can see that most opens are on mobile but if a reader wants to spend time clicking into more in depth content they move over to a desktop computer.

    Cons
    Drip Global, Inc
    • Possibly more email design templates for "new" users to automation, HTML coding, integrations, webhooks, etc.
    • Any supported integration partners are always good to see. They have expanded in this area, recently.
    • Some sort of WYSIWYG, drag-and-drop email editor, wouldn't hurt.
    • Sometimes, when trying to implement advanced HTML coding to an email template, the code doesn't stick, save or format as "native HTML."

    WhatCounts
    • Some of the list management tools were hard to find at first but now I use them every month. If I could change one thing I would allow the account details filter window to show all the available slots with no scrolling and I would add a feature to set / reset all selections on the dropdowns.

    We have a great representative. She schedules regular calls with our team and helps us learn new ways to use the tool. We get great personal support. I know she has many other clients but I always feel like she has time for me and genuinely enjoys working with our team.

    Drip Global, Inc
    Again, this is dependent on the use case. If you are a small- to medium-sized business that doesn't have a sales team, this is likely a great product for you. It is also a good price compared to larger enterprise software. Other software I have used worked better for other companies I worked for, but Drip fits best for my current company.

    WhatCounts
    We selected WhatCounts because it had the ability to help us manage our large list and gave us tools to help tailor our messages. In addition, WhatCounts had the ability to allow us to have an enterprise license but we could still have individual department accounts.

    Return on Investment
    Drip Global, Inc
    • Saves hours of typing redundant emails
    • Helps with our retention based on the constant contact with our current clients
    • Keeps our prospects up to date as we move through the stages of the sales cycle which also increases our capacity to handle more volume.

    • We use WhatCounts as a communication tool to our external groups mainly families and alumni. In our case our main objective is to get these groups timely information. While some of our emails do have a call to action for example signing up for Family Weekend or a Reunion Weekend we don't use the tool to generate leads in the way many organizations use html email.
