MailCampaigns vs. Mautic (open source)

It's particularly well-suited for e-commerce businesses looking to send targeted product recommendations based on browsing history and past purchases. However, it may be less appropriate for organizations requiring extensive design customization or those with simple, low-volume email needs. The software is HIPAA compliant and has a SOC 2 certification, which are both huge factors considering we work with sensitive customer data that as a company have to be compliant to do everything within the necessary regulations of data protection.

Mautic is not Salesforce or Dynamics of course; it is hard to install, still buggy and you have to know what you're doing if you want to use it. But that is your admission fee to an always free system that does essentially all the same things as the pricey alternatives, does it effectively and gives you total control. Mautic was acquired by Acquia, the company behind Drupal, and has been making substantial upgrades since that seem to be accelerating. The system has an active user community, active development and will only get better, making it an excellent choice to grow with and build your own systems around and never be dependent on third parties

In fact, we started seeing ROI on the MailCampaigns app in the first three months of using it. The time needed to setup and learn quickly paid off later when we started seeing better campaign performance and more revenue for our email marketing campaigns.

Prior to MailCampaigns, I used Mailchimp and Constant Contact. While both are solid options, MailCampaigns offers superior segmentation capabilities. Unlike Mailchimp, which limits the number of segmentation conditions, MailCampaigns allows for unlimited layered segmentation

Infusionsoft, at the time I tested it, had a crazy editor--very unintuitive and not very clean. Mautic (open source) makes it much easier to build up campaigns. Besides that, it didn't provide what we needed to justify the lack of possibility to self-host it and the requirement to pay for it.

• Increased email open rates by 25% through improved targeting
• Boosted conversion rates by 15% with personalized content
• Reduced unsubscribe rates by 30% due to more relevant messaging

• We made our ROI back within a year.
• Fulfills our needs and our client's needs, our clients love it.
• I would just add more templates to the email construction selection, other than that, it is just perfect.
