Smartlead vs. Stripo

If you're on a budget, it's great because it gets you a lot of leads for free on a ~$200 plan. So you don't have to worry about making or buying lists for your email outreach.

Very well suited for monthly newsletters in a consistent template or format. Also beneficial for promo emails for events with the countdown feature - I really like that. Less useful for 1-1 outreach since what makes it a helpful tool is the highly polished marketing look and feel, so it's not useful for our BDR outreach which is meant to feel personal from an Outlook

• It's a good campaign management tool for cold outreach.
• Email warmup has given me good result.
• The unified inbox, which integrates all inboxes under one roof, is a time-saver and a tremendously important feature.

• Exporting to our email sending tool.

• The UI & UX is still not there with a lot of room for improvement.
• Regular downtimes, complexity and bulking of the platform is an overkill.
• It used to be very minimalistic but now it's just too much to handle.

• Improvements for dark mode emails.

-1 point just for the UI/UX and over-engineering.

It is very easy to use as long as you have basic knowledge on designing terms such as padding, structures, and more. Even if you don't have the basic knowledge, it is very easy to learn after designing a couple of emails. It would be better if designs could get more complex in Stripo like in Canva but I usually just export designs from there and add them.

I like Stripo the most because it feels marketing-first. Almost like the Canva for marketing teams that are not email experts, but need to own and deliver the email marketing part of their campaign themselves. It is a great tool for teams that need to deliver a large volume of emails across the team in a consistent brand look and feel.

• I was able to get a 12% reply rate for one of the ICPs..
