Overall Satisfaction with ActiveCampaign

We use AC to email various lists daily. The platform has worked relatively flawless compared to others that we've tried. The editor is somewhat glitchy, but otherwise I've not seen any issues with AC at all -- deliverability has been great. Tiered pricing makes it an easy recommendation for clients that have smaller lists.
  • Deliverabilty
  • Automation
  • Scheduling
  • WYSIWYG Editor is glitchy on occasion
  • A better way to sort user engagement would be great
  • Bottomline: Money is made from every email we send
  • Scheduling emails to send and then being able to walk away for a week is great.
Pricing is comparable. Automation is easiest (and quickest) with AC. Mailchimp has a better editor in my opinion. Constant Contact is quickest to set up (again in my opinion). None have as good of analytics as ActiveCampaign.

ActiveCampaign is the ONLY ESP that we recommend to our clients. We've tried at least 4 others and none of them come close to being as user friendly and accurate.
