	Gist	Intuit Mailchimp
Considered Both Products	Gist Christopher Maselli Ghostwriter and Web Designer in Professional Services at Writing Momentum (Publishing, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Gist is slightly slower than ActiveCampaign but MUCH easier to use than Mailchimp. Overall, you can't beat the bang for the buck you get with Gist. And its messenger bot is the best I've used, it works on not only our main site but also our subdomains, kicking the competition … Incentivized Helpful? Kejda Gjermani founder in Marketing at THYSK (Cosmetics, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist You can do everything you can with AC or Mailchimp (minus dynamic cart recovery for ecom) at a fraction of the cost, and you can do MORE -- better integration with FB ads than Mailchimp, more powerful workflows, unified inboxes, live chat and chatbot, etc. It's just a more … Incentivized Helpful? Mark Ogner Owner in Sales at Triera (Insurance, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Mailchimp has more to offer and is easier to use, and is more self-explanatory, especially if you start with the free version. You don't get support with Mailchimp if you use the free plan. Incentivized Helpful? Shayla Bell Founder at Shayla Monique (Fine Art, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist I preferred Gist over Mailchimp because Gist allows me to automatically tag customers based on actions they've performed on the website, while Mailchimp requires me to do this type of tagging manually. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Gist I started out looking at simple marketing automation platforms such as Mailchimp, then moved to an advanced package from HubSpot (trial) to see if it was right for me. The latter turned out to be very expensive, although it is a great platform. The former, Mailchimp, simply … Incentivized Helpful? Milo Meed Assistant Director of Business Operations in Professional Services at ABC123 Agency (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Mailchimp is great but did not offer the chat feature. ActiveCampaign's price point was too high. LiveChat was cool but did not offer the all-in-one platform that Gist gives. I think Gist will catch up to ActiveCampaign in about another year. Mailchimp is just on another level … Incentivized Helpful? Oliver Braithwaite Founder \| Growth Engineer in Corporate at Stars & Catz (Education Management, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Gist combines the core of Intercom, Mailchimp and AWeber and the power of the combination extends the use cases by a large degree. On top of these, the knowledgebase feature and bot combine to great effect. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Gist The look is much cleaner and there are more options. Also, we got a very good price to use the tool. We were using Mailchimp for free and switched to Gist when we took the next level and got more professional. We are very happy with this decision and will keep working with it. Incentivized Helpful? Mohd Saquib Office Support Manager in Sales at AD Patterns Institute of Pattern Making (Apparel & Fashion, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist When we first started our business, we were looking for a tool to communicate with our website visitors and users. We first used Mailchimp as it was free. But then we heard about Gist and for a very nominal charge, it offered so much more like live chat, email marketing, lead … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Gist Gist has way more features than Mailchimp and I found the pricing model much better. Incentivized Helpful? Paul Hancock Founder in Professional Services at 360 Resilience (Professional Training & Coaching, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Gist has all the functionality we needed for less than ManyChat and Mailchimp. It also means our customer funnel is more complete as customers are engaged with, tracked, archived and moved to our CMS software. The Gist app means multiple employees can cover our website and I … Incentivized Helpful? Shade Odeinde Founder at Peacock Virtual Events (Events Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Gist is a much more robust software with a variety of marketing tools in its arsenal. Things like website tracking is also extremely robust and it has many more features. The ease of setup is also more enjoyable and intuitive in Gist so the overall result is that you can learn … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Michael Kwan Founder & CEO at pixl.my (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist I have a lifetime deal with Gist so I may be a bit biased, but Gist is quite easy to use and has a free tier so it's worth a serious look compared to the other players on the market. Personal preference does play a big role in your final decision, as feature-wise, Gist has most … Incentivized Helpful? DJ Borhan Owner in Professional Services at DJ Borhan (Consumer Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Tidio was great, but it lacked email marketing support. Incentivized Helpful? David Lion Chyriwsky Senior Marketing Executive in Marketing at IVG (Consumer Goods, 51-200 employees) Chose Gist Gist has a lot of tools that all email marketing tools generally have such as workflows, forms, drip campaigns, and general email broadcasting, the difference is Gist always goes one step further to make their tools better, it's these little things that made as choose Gist. Incentivized Helpful? Mark Sinclair Co-founder in Corporate at Spark Chart (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Gist combines all our previous products into one application and adds many more features that would require more apps. Gist is excellent and a no-brainer all-in-one application when compared to having to manage multiple applications at higher cost. The support from the whole … Incentivized Helpful? Dustin Day Director of UX development, social media and SEO/SEM in Marketing at DFT (a number of local companies under one umbrella) (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Gist Gist has so many tools in one package it is hard to compare. If you need chat, email, remarketing, automated marketing, live view of your site, knowledge-base, bots, scheduler, and more, then it will take multiple tools. Gist is great because you get to install one tool on your … Incentivized Helpful?
