I found beehiiv the best suited for growth. The pricing model for other providers means your costs go up faster and steeper than with beehiiv.

Again, this is dependent on the use case. If you are a small- to medium-sized business that doesn't have a sales team, this is likely a great product for you. It is also a good price compared to larger enterprise software. Other software I have used worked better for other …
Chose Drip Ecommerce CRM
We decided to move away from Mailchimp when they announced the changes to their service plans. We cast a wide net and ended up boiling it down to Drip, Klaviyo, Omnisend, and Constant Contact.

They all have a similar set of features, but Drip was willing to work with us on …
Chose Drip Ecommerce CRM
MailChimp and Constant Contact are both excellent options based on your level of use and business goals. When comparing all three services we looked at integration ability, pricing, functionality, and customer service as our key decision factors. Each company has their pros & …
Chose Drip Ecommerce CRM
Compared to the heavyweight, Infusionsoft, Drip is incredibly powerful but much lighter weight. It's faster and easier to get a simple campaign up and running. The price is much more reasonable too. The only downside is the lack of drag and drop email builder that Infusionsoft …
Chose Drip Ecommerce CRM
As discussed earlier on, Drip from Leadpages is much more customizable and affordable than the competition. My experience has been excellent with the product support team and the business in general. I'm also a Leadpages customer, for custom landing pages and site popups, …
Chose Drip Ecommerce CRM
I selected Drip because of the integration with S2Member. When someone begins my membership program they are automatically added to my Drip campaign for members.
Chose Drip Ecommerce CRM
Drip seemed more powerful in what you can do with it. ConvertKit was considered simpler to get a handle of, but I wasn't aiming at simple, but rather at powerful and flexible.
The pricing matched my current requirements at the time and the onboarding process was simple and easy …

Mailchimp does lists. Drip does automated segmentation. This is a game changer!

Based on the analysis I made of various newsletter providers, beehiiv is the most suited for high-growth ones. If you ever plan or try to grow to 200k users, beehiiv has the best cost/value ratio.

Drip is my top recommendation for most people who have an existing business and audience and want to move beyond basic email broadcast and drip campaigns and start building out more personalized sequences. I don't recommend the tool for people starting out, or for anyone that isn't bringing in solid profit every month as there are cheaper tools out there to get started with.

We decided to move away from Mailchimp when they announced the changes to their service plans. We cast a wide net and ended up boiling it down to Drip, Klaviyo, Omnisend, and Constant Contact. They all have a similar set of features, but Drip was willing to work with us on price instead of simply referring us to their tiered plans. Even though they don't have a direct integration with our e-commerce platform it was obvious they were willing to help us make the connection via their API.
