ActiveCampaign is much better than Mailchimp

Overall Satisfaction with ActiveCampaign

I use ActiveCampaign to host my email list, email then Monday - Friday and handle all my automations. It's being used by me as I'm currently a solo operation. It allows me to set up my own funnels and automations for customers coming in meaning I can make money with very little effort after the initial work is done.
  • Easy to use.
  • Great automation options.
  • Compatible with everything I need.
  • The mobile app could be clearer.
  • Open rates and CTR aren't visible on the main page.
  • The site on mobile isn't formatted very well.
  • More emails on my list.
  • Automated funnels.
  • Easy integration.
Mailchimp was buggy and kept going down. Several times I couldn't send an email out when I pride myself on consistent contact.

Often the only time I would discover this was when my email hadn't sent. Mailchimp would never tell me so I can inform my audience in an alternate manner.

ActiveCampaign has stayed consistent for me and I've never once had a problem with it.
ActiveCampaign is great for list building, daily campaigns and continuous automation. It's not so good for using on your mobile/cell due to poor mobile site formatting and an under developed app. However, I believe the app is in beta and I assume it will improve later down the line. At least I hope so.
