BombBomb vs. Renderforest Video

BombBomb has helped a lot in our Sales department. Our emails to prospective customers stand out and having the ability to make a personalized video to the person we're trying to establish a relationship with gives us that extra touch.

I used Renderforest to create an intro for my new YouTube show. I had made an error while cropping a logo. Customer service answered me immediately and was tremendously understanding and proactive. They fixed the error I had made and sent me back my finished product within minutes. I will definitely be using them again.

• We've found it's better with existing relationships than as an outbound campaign.
• Deliverability - We serve markets that might be a little more strict with regards to deliverability.
• Chrome extension - it was awful and took up so much of the inbox that we've uninstalled it completely.

• Uploading video is slow, processing time and rendering video are often jammed.
• Some templates have more restrictions, such as the number of words in the title, the number of pictures, the size of pictures and so on.
• Prices for individual users are not very friendly.

As said before, the usability is very straightforward and the customization options are good enough to get the job done. There is a mobile app to help with real-time engagement so that is useful too. They offer plenty of training and best practices to make sure you are getting the most out of BombBomb.

It was very easy. They have a nice help video to guide you along the way that you can turn off if you chose. But It was a quick process and everything tied together very well. I am very pleased with the final product. I will definitely use them again.

Overall it's very easy to use and the video emails stand out. Everything loads quickly and they make it easy to set up. It features CRM-like functionality to view opens, clicks, time watched, etc., but it doesn't port that info over to your existing CRM which is where some of the friction occurs. Still, it's amazing for what it does. I recommend giving it a try for our outreach.

Renderforest Video has great performance. In all the time I have used it, I haven't ever really had to wait for anything to be done, except for the rendering time. The reason for not giving the product a full 10 out of 10 is that the page load times in the wizard have left me frustrated at times. This, though, is most likely the result of internet service in a 3rd world country, as opposed to a slow server.

A few times over the years I have asked for features to be added to BombBomb and I am amazed at how fast they can implement. Zapier integration is a perfect example. They implemented the connection to Zapier within 30 days of my feature request. It took a much larger company, Keller Williams Realty over 10 years to implement the same request.

The office has been using BombBomb for a long time and has a lot of templates built. It would take a significant amount of time to convert over for our mass emailing purposes. On an individual level, we enjoy the video messaging option as that is not offered in all mass emailing services.

In my search for a motion graphic platform with an easy to use workflow, I tried out Canva. Whilst Canva didn't fit into the category I was searching for at all, it did give me another platform to do some static media content development on. I also tried Animaker, which was a lot of fun to use, but the process was a lot more manual than what Renderforest Video presents. Renderforest Video was the easiest to use, had the widest variety of templates and made the best impression on management.

• Overall, I think BombBomb has given us a positive ROI on our email marketing efforts. I don't have numbers to support that claim, but it's more affordable and better positioned for what we needed to do than many other tools out in the marketplace. If you need to differentiate your email, the video component is a great way to go.

• More time can be spent on interviewing clients and researching and development instead of creating quality graphics.
• The subscription payment option saves money since we know we need them constantly in the future.
• The quality of the content is superior to the ability of our on-site graphic design team at less than half the cost.
