ConvertKit vs. Sender

For us, it started with a smaller use case of captured leads, nurture them overtime to convert for services. Later we expanded our use case and started using integrations and automations to improve the conversions and automate some tasks as well. Based on that I totally feel someone who is creator and trying to diversify the income across building audience, community, paid Newsletter etc will suits the best. If you are just using it for email campaigns then it might not justify the price tag considering there are other cheaper alternatives that's available in the market.

If you want your emails delivered to people's inboxes instead of spam, this ain't it. Not sure if it's their fault at all or if it's just that spammers are more likely to use lower-cost products and thus ruin it for others?

• Emails landing in subscribers inbox.
• Free mailing address that customers can use.
• Robust tagging system for managing funnels and targeting users with optimized emails.
• Broad integrations available for other platforms and optin form plugins.

• I am highly impressed with its Automation feature. It is very useful to get more responses out of my whole campaign.
• Its data import feature to create subscriber lists is also very advanced. It removes duplicates in my data.
• Email deliverability is very accurate.

• When I first started using ConvertKit, I found it hard to create a landing page. I am pretty technical but when I had to customize my page using HTML, I got lost. I thought I could get up and running within an hour (build the page, create the list, and set up automation), but I soon realized I had to upgrade to use automation and setting up took me more than 3 hours. The learning curve had me stuck. I got frustrated and reached out to support.
• ConvertKit is not for a non-tech person. There are not enough templates to get up and running within an hour.
• ConvertKit is simply email marketing and landing pages for list building. It could offer a little more.
• The analytics can be a bit more in depth.

• Deliverability/open rates are extremely low compared to other providers. IE: I was getting 50-60% open rates with most providers and 6.5% with Sender.

Can be summed up in three words that 'It just Works'. Crafted for creators and artists in mind, it offers all they need for start building up list. Free tier is really a good move to test out stuff. I am staying with them considering their good email delivery and simple interface and easy integration with our website software. WYSIYG Editor, Standard reporting but not deep level analytics gives all the basic tools needed to support the business.

The other products I have used are not available on TrustRadius. I used ConvertKit before I used these other products because I need an all in one platform.

Its deliverability makes it more effective than other email marketing tools. It gives more than satisfactory results. And that shows in my organization's sales revenue.
