Mautic (open source) vs. Retainly

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

Retainly allowed me to take customer engagement to the next level. I felt an advantage of its low-code functionality, user-friendliness, intuitive automation, and pre-built integrations with a range of other marketing tools. I saw a noticeable difference in my marketing performance and customer retention results after almost 2 months of usage. As a marketer, I managed to automate heavy manual effort to run marketing my campaigns.

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.

Retainly has a unique and better workflow creation process.

• 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.
