I have not used any other product similar to Lob.
Chose Lob
Mainly for the post-pay feature. This was a big jump for us in month-end reconciliation and our accounting team as well as our Marketing Ops Manager are forever grateful.
Chose Lob
Easier to use APIs. Faster time to market.
Chose Lob
Lob integrates like a SaaS company. PFL has limited technical integration. Lob allows us to scale through the same technical integration. Everything is self serve with Lob while it seems everything at PFL requires some interaction with a human.

Root keeps Lob because it is already deeply integrated into our systems, and replacing it would require significant engineering effort with limited expected cost savings. As well as the unknowns that come with other options, switching vendors would likely require a significant …

Abbott. Lob is way more user-friendly and reliable.
Chose Lob
OCW is cheaper and better suited for our product
Chose Lob
lob has a more overall greater pricing and apis and their costumer service is very easy to deal with
Chose Lob

Likelihood to Recommend
It is great for low-cost, high-volume mail campaigns for our agents. The price is very reasonable, and they can send out a lot. Once the design is approved and they send a list, we handle it, then Lob. When we have agents who want to handwrite the addresses, we choose someone else (a local print shop) to print and send them to our agents.

We use Snappy for our birthday gifts to our team members! It's perfect for them, and they really enjoy the overall experience! The customization and personalized touch [are] awesome as well! Having the option to add additional gifts for special occasions is great and comforting to know it's there if we need it!

Cons
  • An automatically scheduled data export would be nice.
  • Functions such as adding or editing bank accounts, updating check details, and querying data require knowledge of the specific code and API infrastructure. It would be nice to do these things without being an engineer trained in their specific interface language.
  • They reduced their retention period on their interface to like 3 months, which is not ideal.

  • Have an alternative method of communication available to those who are not computer/tech-savvy and don't have smartphones

Usability
I am rating it a 9 because even though there is a strong learning curve once you have an understanding of the platform it is very powerful. You are able to fully automate and run a multitude of tests at scale and because of that I believe the usability is quite strong

Root keeps Lob because it is already deeply integrated into our systems, and replacing it would require significant engineering effort with limited expected cost savings. As well as the unknowns that come with other options, switching vendors would likely require a significant multi-quarter effort without clear cost savings or efficiency gains.

Return on Investment
  • The hard part is that the agents mostly see the returns over us, so I don't know the specific numbers.
  • Some agents have great responses; others not as much. Or they get 75% of their mailers returned, and we don't know why.

  • Team members feel appreciated
  • Its become an added custom incentive than a random gift card for birthdays
