Chose ActiveCampaign
I like ActiveCampaign because compared to ConvertKit, I think it has a lot more capability and there’s a lot more room to grow with customization in automation. I am on the first tier, so I have limited access to some of the more advanced features, but I like that even on the …
ActiveCampaign is so much more easy to use, so much simpler. I had such a hard time with Mailchimp (not as much with ConvertKit) that is was a night mare for me and my team as we we beginning at that time. If we'd started straight on ActiveCampaign it would have been a lot less …
AWeber is way too limiting. ConvertKit wasn't as intuitive and also very limiting. Mailchimp was ultra basic. ActiveCampaign was easy to figure out, enough to keep simple but have the ability to add more complexity. I'd say anyone should use ActiveCampaign. From what I've seen, …
ActiveCampaign specializes in email and that's what they do best. I've tried "all in one" platforms like Keap and Ontraport, which couldn't keep up with the details of email. Other competitors like ConvertKit and Mailchimp just didn't have the firepower necessary to do all the …
ActiveCampaign has a huge advantage over the other platforms in that there is enough power under the hood to offer the same automation as the other platforms but without creating a headache in the process of organizing it all. Mailchimp at its heart is still a freemium tool …
ActiveCampaign is SO much better. We started with Mailchimp and hit its limitations so quickly. We then moved to ConvertKit and while it was significantly better, it didn’t have the ability to really customize a contact’s journey. Finally, we moved to ActiveCampaign and …
I've used Mailchimp and ConvertKit in the past. Mailchimp had far fewer capabilities, and ConvertKit was comparable. In the end, ActiveCampaign interfaces better with the products I am using.
I used to use ConvertKit but liked the customization ability of ActiveCampaign better. Also, ConvertKit limits on the size of your email list were smaller than ActiveCampaign and it was the best fit for me.
We needed something with more customability and that could handle the systems that we wanted to create. Mailchimp was too clunky for what we needed and ConvertKit was too basic (while oddly being complicated at times). ActiveCampaign was recommended by a colleague and we …
I don't like MailerLite and Flodesk because they only offer segments, no tags. I like to add many tags to my contacts depending on the products they purchase, and this gets too cluttered when there's only segments. They also don't have clear insights on the home page of people …
ActiveCampaign was more affordable and had more features than I needed. In particular, the automation, sequences, and integrations plus the ability for custom webhooks. While I like the other platforms too for various reasons, the automation and webhooks features, integrations, …

Chose ActiveCampaign
In comparison to all the other systems (except Keap), ActiveCampaign goes above and beyond for email marketing, marketing automation, and CRM functionality. It's the closest you can get to an all-in-one system.
And while Infusionsoft is also robust, it's not very intuitive. …
ActiveCampaign is the most intuitive out of all of the ones I've used. Their visual automation builder is great. I felt like every other option that I had previously played with just felt more confusing. I tested out many other tools while also using ActiveCampaign and I just …
ActiveCampaign is the best of the best among other CRM and emails autoresponders because of its features like the visual workflow, triggers, opt-in page, landing page, customer service, user interface. It's very user-friendly. You can literally use it for the first time and the …
Active Campaign is great compared to the platforms that I have used. Mailchimp is also fairly easy to use but isn't as pretty in the email content; however it does have better reporting. Convert kit has a higher deliverable rate due to it being mainly a text email service …
While other products may have features that ActiveCampaign only releases to higher-tier customers (landing pages for example), the benefits of ActiveCampaign far outweigh this. ActiveCampaign is great to use, easy to use, has a lot of power under the hood, and is quite …
Overall, we selected ActiveCampaign based on the features offered, the ease of use (and therefore the ease of training others to use), and the overall value for the price. The competitors I have used or evaluated in the past may occasionally be better than ActiveCampaign in one …
I always recommend ActiveCampaign to clients primarily because we can import funnels into their accounts which saves us a tremendous amount of time. I also feel that ActiveCampaign's automation is a step above other platforms. They are easier for me to visualize what's …
Pardot is in my opinion overpriced and because it relies on Salesforce as a CRM limiting as a choice. HubSpot CRM is great even in the free version, but once you need to add email automation in the mix the cost become a big factor.
I chose ActiveCampaign over other email marketing platforms because of their amazing segmentation and the options to build out intricate email sequencing using rules and actions.
I was also incredibly impressed with the CRM they've built to incorporate automation, tracking, and …
