SharpSpring has in some way more features than the top 5 solutions, but it's way easier to use, not to mention the price. SharpSpring is almost a tenth of the price and is a monthly-based payment solution. Every other star destroyer promisess a lot of features but you need to have doctoral degree to use them. Other solution is to always pay providers support/consulting.

Likelihood to Recommend

Although SharpSpring can offer more good-looking templates (landing and email) and add some more feature in social media module it is more important that it can serve an agency needs almost 100%. We don't use any other marketing software and are teaching our clients to simplify what they can. That way they can manage more with less effort.

SharpSpring is a robust solution for agencys own marketing and for doing B2B marketing for their clients
