HighLevel vs. Wishpond Propel IQ

HighLevel is a great "all round" system for managing marketing campaign, for both your own business and for the campaigns of clients. It has all the tools you need to build and run campaigns successfully. It is less well suited for specialized services, such as building landing pages and the the fast load of those pages.

It's a great platform if you're looking for something to run contests that provide leads and drive user engagement, but if they also incorporated social media management and scheduling, Wishpond would be a 10 by far. It's definitely worth looking into specifically for running contests throughout the year, for a wide variety of companies and industries.

HighLevel is a great tool, and is a real "all rounder" that helps agencies keep costs down and profits high. It really does serve the majority of marketing agency needs, but it does fall down slightly on some specialist areas, where a dedicated CRM would be best for example. It can be a little tricky to use and buggy, which does cause some frustration sometimes.

There is no support at Wishpond. I contacted my project manager's manager over a week ago without a reply. When I responded to the automated 'How is your experience' email saying how awful it was there was no follow-up. When I had trouble and had to escalate things it resulted in some new procedures being put in place that changed nothing and they never checked in to see if things were fixed.

HighLevel is all-in-one, so varying functions of the aforementioned tools are all covered by HighLevel, albeit not as robust as each of them when stacked against their features and functions. But since small businesses usually would not have that deep need, HighLevel is the cost-effective solution that puts everything in one place.

We choose Wishpond as our first option since we were a startup e-commerce. Klaviyo was a little bit expensive for us and Wishpond really suits pretty well in our budget. Besides, if you don't have so many clients, at a first glance, there are a lot of features that would not be taken advantage of. That is why Wishpond was a better option when we started.

• We have run many profitable ad campaigns on HighLevel
• SMS blasts work great
• Managing all clients campaigns under one account

Incentivized

• Negative google ROI.
• A few conversions in September on paid social then none - negative ROI.
• Between ad spend and Wishpond fees every month is negative ROI. Can’t wait until I can get out of this contract.
• Emails don’t perform as well as my own for open rates or clicks.
