    Considered Both Products
    iContact
    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
    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
    I haven't used other products for the same features that iContact offers, but I have used products like Mailchimp which sends out massive emails or postcards and such. Personally, I prefer iContact because you're able to personalize it and have the ability to send the emails …
    Incentivized
    Chose iContact
    We selected iContact because it was available at the time, and in our price range. I inherited it at the school. If it had been the program it is now back then, I would not have chosen it. At the moment, we are too busy to fully vet another program, so we are stuck with this …
    Incentivized
    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
    IContact offered more flexibility, the ability to designate more users in different departments, and better-looking templates. The ability to ask for support and customized templates is also a key, and their account manager is available to respond to issues, offer advice, etc. …

    Chose iContact
    iContact far outperformed emailbrain in getting my emails to our subscribers (delivery rate) but with emailbrain I could easily send hyperlinks that opened pdf. documents, see how my email was going to look in a couple dozen different variations (gmail, yahoo, desktop, mobile), …
    Chose iContact
    I plan to use MailChimp going forward. I understand from trusted colleagues that it is as good as IContact and FREE.
    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

    Intuit
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp has more robust functionality than iContact. There's a higher price tag, but it's worth it if you need to set up email automation campaigns.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp is the most cost effective solution. The ease of use, the look of the emails, the options Mailchimp gives you, and the price of it all. There is no reason you should go with iContact or Constant Contact when Mailchimp is an option. They are just too easy to use and …
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    I recommend MailChimp because of its solid and growing market share. In some cases, small and medium-sized businesses may find the same solutions within Constant Contact, iContact, or MailChimp. It may be a simple matter of preferences that determine which email marketing …
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Generally, Mailchimp is substantially cheaper for smaller companies compared to the Enterprise level email marketing systems. Additionally, Mailchimp offers the agency-focused advantages of programs like Campaign Monitor, but with an easier billing system and lower monthly …
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    If you need a program that allows you to visualize your content in a way which is easier to manipulate, then you will do well with this program. The lists and the automation aspects will be hard for a new learner of the program, and they do dive too much into their own hubris …

    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    More people use MailChimp and also it is easy to integrate with social media more easily than other competitors.
