Overall Satisfaction with ActiveCampaign
I use it to mail and manage my email list of ~1,000 people.
There's a trigger-based welcome series, plus semi-regular broadcast emails based. I'm a one-man show and it handles everything for me.

- Templates make creating new emails a snap.
- Tagging helped me track interested subscribers for future sales.
ConvertKit - I found CK to be much more limited and I hAtEd the text editor. Also, all their videos featured millennials with big hats and beards. I never saw myself anywhere. AC had much better customer service, even though the price was high.
Mailchimp was great to start with and still has the best text editor around - but once you move to a paid version, it's worth moving on.

Evaluating ActiveCampaign and Competitors
Yes - Mailchimp was fine for starting, but when it came to upgrade to a paid version, other more advanced options seemed obvious.

AC wasn't the cheapest, but I loved the automations. The price is comparable with ConvertKit, but with CK, you don't upgrade levels until 2,500 subscribers. AC bumps up at 1,000. It gets more expensive faster, but I think it's worth it.
Everything went smoothly. I'm happy with the research and decision I made.
