Hustle
Chose Hustle
I've heard of getthru.io (formerly Relay). Basically, it is just a copy of Hustle (maybe younger as well, not as experienced in the market). I didn't dive deep into their platform to get an idea of their capabilities or integrations. They do seem to have been (maybe) …
Chose Hustle
Hustle is a bit of a different animal when compared to various enterprise texting platforms like EZ Texting, Textel, Textio, etc. It's the best bet when you're trying to grow a membership base and provide responsive customer care, but may not be the best option if you're trying …
Chose Hustle
We have also used RAVE and Google Voice to send text massages. RAVE does not allow for one-to-one communication with recipients an Google Voice does not let you easily communicate with list of contacts and lacks the interface for canned responses. Neither provides the quality …
Listrak
Chose Listrak
The Bronto platform is so similar to Listrak in that it made no sense for us to move unless there were significant cost savings (there weren't). We are so intertwined with Listrak that it would be painful to move for the sake of moving. Klaviyo is very DIY which can be great. …
Chose Listrak
Listrak offered more products than Bronto did at the time we evaluated, and we wanted all the alerts and email series products to use.
Chose Listrak
The service is overpriced compared to competitors, and the service is very hard to set up and integrate with our Shopify store. You think they would want to integrate more seamlessly with the largest e-commerce platform on the market. After working with them for several years, …
Chose Listrak
Klaviyo and MailChimp have better integrations with Shopify and seem to be targeted more to the small business. Listrak is definitely better suited for a mid-tier business, but they will help you get there.
Chose Listrak
The focus Listrak has on e-commerce was a huge selling point. The price-point and easy installation were another attraction. The product is simple, clean, effective, and encompasses everything we need to be successful. It was a clear winner for us.
Chose Listrak
I've been using programs like Listrak for several years. Many times the needs from clients have been on a smaller scale, so options like MailChimp and ConstantContact have provided the necessary service levels. However, if you're looking at merging effectively with an eCommerce …
Chose Listrak
This is the first subscription list service we have used so we don't have much to compare it to. We have no complaints about the software or the service they provide. They have been very easy to work with and fast to respond to questions on our account.
Chose Listrak
Listrak stands out from the listed companies for a variety of reasons, but there are 3 main areas that make Listrak my go to platform.
1. Superior control over your Database & Lists
2. Excellent deliverability rate for businesses that possess a large database.
Chose Listrak
Stronger in business to consumer and online retail email marketing. Better user interface. Better reporting functions.

Likelihood to Recommend
Great for sales, political, fundraising, and nonprofit outreach. You can engage with season ticket holders for renewal, reaching out to voters to ensure they know where to vote and when, fundraising for non-profits, universities, etc., as well as engaging with a community (any organization that has a following and would like to get in touch with them easily, it's great for!)

We use Listrak to send cart abandonment emails, welcome emails, and sales emails. We also use the segmentation tool to find specific customers if we are looking for feedback on new products or specific issues. This has been a great way to reach out to them in a very personalized way.

Support Rating
As a cloud-based web app, you can expect the typical software as a service communication channel for support. They offer generous support via phone, email, and chat. As with anything, some issues can be solved by googling the problem and finding a resolution that was explained in detail by another user.

  • It has improved communication with current customers.

  • Ability to execute dynamic content & intricately segmented email campaigns has made a hugely positive impact on our marketing capabilities while maintaining a large database.
  • Listrak does cost slightly more than its competition, therefore making me (the consumer) look a little harder at our ROI since implementing Listrak as our primary digital marketing platform. All-in-all, it is safe to say that Listrak has definitely had a positive impact on our overall business goals of creating campaigns that increase customer engagement, click-thru rates, and most importantly conversions.
