    Considered Both Products
    Constant Contact
    Chose Constant Contact
    I prefer Constant Contact over Mailchimp and iContact because Constant Contact gives you more bang for your buck. I also prefer the interface of Constant Contact because it's very clean and easy to navigate. Constant Contact also has the best pricing structure of the three …

    Chose Constant Contact
    Constant Contact is a little more feature-rich then iContact.
    Incentivized
    Chose Constant Contact
    Constant Contact and iContact are very similar products. They also are priced similarly. I do prefer the design options in iContact over Constant Contact, but overall I would say they are about equal.
    Incentivized
    Chose Constant Contact
    Constant contact was perfect for our needs for many clients, it wasn’t overly robust, but powerful enough to see strong ROI. With regards to the competitor tools, amongst standard ESP there’s not a huge difference as they all essentially work the same, it’s just about pricing …

    Chose Constant Contact
    Constant Contact is the best value for the investment. There are cheaper solutions - but not better. When you want to make a good impression, you want Constant Contact to be your provider (when we see Mailchimp emails we just delete!)

    Chose Constant Contact
    Simplest to use, great GUI, and awesome support! For SMB and startups, email marketing isn't their specialty, so having support is essential.
    To design a beautiful email can be challenging, but with CC, you put in your website and it can create custom emails using the colors …

    Chose Constant Contact
    Constant Contact and Vertical Response were on my shortlist. Ultimately I chose Constant Contact because of budget and functionality.
    iContact
    Chose iContact
    iContact and Constant Contact are very similar products, however I prefer the iContact interface. Mailchimp may have more features but is harder to train users who are not familiar with email campaigns.
    Incentivized
    Chose iContact
    More versatile and less restrictive regarding content. I tried Constant Contact first and quickly became frustrated and was happy to find iContact.

    Chose iContact
    User-friendly. I prefer it over Constant Contact's interface.

    Chose iContact
    iContact was the solution in use when I entered the organization. I have heard very good things about MailChimp and Constant Contact, the other two big names in this field. We have chosen to remain with iContact since then, but would be open to moving. However, it is fulfilling …

    Chose iContact
    I have personally used MailChimp and Constant Contact. Plus, a back-end WordPress plug-in that I've since forgotten the name of as well as Active.com's email platform.
    Incentivized
    Chose iContact
    In my opinion, Mailchimp is the top contender to iContact and really gives them a run for their money. Mailchimp offers users more features, and costs less. Of course, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Overall, it is a tough decision to make between the two, …

    Chose iContact
    We are no longer using iContact, but if you were comparing them to Constant contact, Mail Chimp, etc. then go with one of those, their software is more current and they have better analytics, but will still be in the cheaper price bracket. Currently, we are using our ESP, …

    Chose iContact
    It offered the best cost to feature ratio and was easy to use. The other systems were great as well, but the potential integration with our CRM (Salesforce), was one of the key deciding factors. Also, icontact was included with the Vocus marketing suite which offered other …
    Chose iContact
    I have not yet tried ConstantContact, but iContact has served our company well thus far. Although ConstantContact seems more popular in our circles, iContact has been trustworthy and reliable with very minor issues, if any. The one thing that really makes iContact stand apart …
    Chose iContact
    Better service, easier to use.
