Considered Both Products
Instapage
Chose Instapage
Clickfunnels for more complex funnels and sales pages, Insatpage for simple opt ins, and I use dont use leadpages at all in anymore. It just didn't have the quality and I customization I was looking for.
Chose Instapage
Instapage is a more complete package with an editor function, a large selection of multi-component templates, a reporting dashboard, basic SEO tools, customization functionality and excellent site speed and site performance standards. We choose Instapage because it had all …
Chose Instapage
I prefer Unbounce to Instapage even though the end result may be a nicer-looking page, the pages are not the desired outcome. Lead generation and engagement trump design, for all intents and purposes. So don't focus on the best-looking page as long as the pages are good clean …
Chose Instapage
The Instapage editor is super flexible and easy to use. You can move any element to any spot on the canvas. Instapage and Unbounce have better editors when it comes to flexibility and control. Leadpages and HubSpot offer visual drag-and-drop design but both of them are more …
Chose Instapage
We also use MailChimp's new functionality to build landing pages. It has some advantages since we use MailChimp as our email marketing system. However it is not as user-friendly as Instapage - and we only use it for certain simple campaigns that don't need us to be creative …
Chose Instapage
Reviews were good and functionality was decent for the price.
Chose Instapage
I know there are a lot of options for building quick landing pages out there, but Instapage makes it so easy to use. Think of them like Apple, the clean, friendly, easy to use option. Everyone else seems to make this a little more complex than I think it needs to be.
Chose Instapage
Instapage is easier to build pages, but does not have all the integrated functionality that SharpSpring has.
Chose Instapage
Instapage is much more user-friendly than landingi, and is much less glitchy than Wix. As such, Instapage is likely the strongest and most productive for ROI of all of the landing page software solutions. Would strongly recommend this, despite the higher price tag, it is well …
Chose Instapage
Prior to using Instapage, I had only ever used Unbounce. I wanted to see what other tools brought to the table and Instapage was the one we went with at first. I prefer Instapage's interface to Unbounce, but the underlying functionality turned out to not be the best fit for our …
Chose Instapage
Optimizely - More expensive and responsive functionality is less reliable. The WYSIWYG editor is also a little more difficult to use and many times requires custom coding for desired experience. The A/B testing tools are a little more sophisticated, but Instapage is sufficient …
Chose Instapage
I found Instapage and Leadpages similar in a lot of ways. Both are good solutions. Instapage has a little better of a drag n drop builder. A little more flexible. Leadpages actively restricted form embed code to upsell their integration packages. Not cool IMO.
Chose Instapage
When we first realized we needed a way to build landing pages for our ad campaigns, Instapage was one of the first products we came across. With the CMS we use, we have outside developers who help manage the back end of the site. It was not in our budget to have them create our …
Chose Instapage
Instapage is the easiest to use. It is also the cheapest. Instapage is the most flexible for customizing the mobile versions of your page (you can make changes on the mobile version without ever having it change the desktop version without you knowing). It also seems to be the …
Chose Instapage
Because of its ease of use, Instapage remains a staple in our marketing stack. While we are using native landing pages in Wordpress more and more (because we have more skill and resources) and implementing the landing page page builder in Sharpspring, if we got into a pinch …
Chose Instapage
HubSpot was terrible because it required a lot of coding experience if you wanted to work outside the given 4-5 templates. If you wanted a new template built, or to rebrand existing templates, they charged you. Very inflexible program and was very challenged by it. Our main …
Chose Instapage
I can't remember all the alternatives we looked at. It was a long time ago, and there were a lot. The number one competitor was LeadPages... and then there were a few that were WordPress plugins that we seriously looked at. We passed all of them up in favour of Instapages …
Chose Instapage
GetResponse is a little easier to use and see how pages work out across the different devices, and it is significantly more expensive than GetResponse. However, it is much more affordable than Sales Engine and Callidus Cloud Marketing Automation - which are full marketing …
Chose Instapage
We are SharpSpring clients and love many aspects of their marketing automation platform. Because their landing page features and functionality need some refining, we still use Instapage frequently to service our clients' needs. We plan to use Instapage for as long as we need to …
Chose Instapage
Used ION Interactive. Instapage is much easier to use than ION, but doesn't feel as powerful, which is great for nimble campaigns.
Chose Instapage
I've used OptimizePress as well, but I like the ease of editing even more with Instapage, and there are a lot of great templates and preloaded dummy content.
Chose Instapage
Use Optimizely - similar product, better company.
Chose Instapage
Before finding Instapage, we used literally every landing page builder out there. NONE of them offered a free getting started plan. They all want to take your credit card and hold a deposit hostage in case you don't like their system. Well I NEVER try anything without a free …
Leadpages
Chose Leadpages
I have used Mailchimp for clients, and use ActiveCampaign personally for my email marketing and have used it for clients, but prefer Leadpages for the frontend of the opt-in process because of its analytics and performance metrics. Leadpages makes it super easy to see what's …
Chose Leadpages
I used Unbounce in 2012 for a year before Leadpages. Unbounce did not have the features I needed and was not very intuitive.

ClickFunnels is designed to be a full-funnel system but I have found the beginning part of a funnel (mainly the landing page) with ClickFunnels to be very …
Chose Leadpages
When I was choosing a software for landing pages there wasn't much competition. Now you can get the same thing done with many different solutions. The main problem is that when you create lots of funnels it will take a lot of time and work to move them somewhere else. This …
Chose Leadpages
Well, Drip is part of leadpages, however it is more of what the title means. It does drip campaigns, where they come in and it drips them all over the place finding out what they truly need. The other platforms are fairly good, but they do not have all the functions that …
Chose Leadpages
When test driving Leadpages we also took a look at Instapage which, though powerful in a variety of ways, was, in my opinion, overpriced for what you were getting. I will say during our Instapage trial I was impressed by the integration and reporting capabilities, however, they …
Chose Leadpages
Unbounce is a great product, but if you're new to landing page builders and running lead generation campaigns in general, then I would recommend Leadpages due to the pricing and scalability (unlimited pages). You'll soon find out how important landing page design is, and how …
Chose Leadpages
Marketo is great for lead management and automation, but their landing page creation tool is very lacking. Our team is small and often lack the time or resources to have custom-made landing pages, so Leadpages offers a great way to continuously to generate new content using a …
Chose Leadpages
Leadpages' and Unbounce's landing pages are both built using drag-and-drop editors, are mobile friendly (responsive), and feature a reasonable suite of integrations - including Wordpress. Both offer plans that feature A/B testing. The deciding factor for us in choosing …
Chose Leadpages
We selected Leadpages over Unbounce because Unbounce had awful analytics options - it was incredibly difficult to measure ROI on that platform. The builders are roughly the same, from the perspective of using a WYSIWYG editor.
Chose Leadpages
Leadpages is the market leader so it was easy to go with them. I also started using them in 2016, when there were far fewer products on the market. Since then the landscape has become much more competitive, but I signed a 2 year contract at a time when there seemed to be a …
Chose Leadpages
I have used Podcast Websites and Kajabi both with Leadpages and outside of LeadPages. I ended up leaving LeadPages because Kajabi and Podcast Websites have everything I need and the cost overall was less. LeadPages is a good starter program, so don't hesitate to get it if …
Chose Leadpages
While ClickFunnels offers some features that LeadPages does not, it is far more complex to use (when you really get into it) and their support is absolutely terrible in comparison.
Chose Leadpages
Leadpages is much more flexible, easier to use, and generally satisfying in delivering high-quality results. Compared to other page builders, it offers an experience that features a lot fewer moments of frustration or bewilderment. Although it represents a noteworthy financial …
Chose Leadpages
Infusionsoft has a new built in landing page builder as a part of their product. However, we still choose to use the Leadpages builder because it is simpler to use and has more options for types of elements to use on the page, like a countdown timer and progress bar. Leadpages …
Chose Leadpages
Better integration and drag and drop features.
Chose Leadpages
I believe that Leadpages is the most full-featured and reliable solution for hosting landing pages and creating forms. What it didn't offer until recently was the ability to manage email campaigns and customer lists. Their Drip product offers some of that functionality now. …
Chose Leadpages
Infusionsoft and Mailchimp both prohibit the ability to really do a lot in terms of easily customizing the landing page. Divi does allow for almost limitless customization but it is not time efficient and there are too many working parts to make sure are in place to confidently …
Chose Leadpages
Leadpages is less expensive, has options for WordPress import and also has a better support team in place in my opinion. I actually use both Leadpages and Unbounce depending on the goal of the page -- for speed, Leadpages wins but for custom and the drag/drop builder, Unbounce …
Chose Leadpages
I actually never used a lead page type program before but I heard from many sources that it was the BEST so I trusted that fact and bought the year subscription and never looked back. I think its the best on the market out there right now and I would recommend it to anyone.
Chose Leadpages
They crush Infusionsoft's landing pages which seem like a very low priority for Infusionsoft. It is a necessity to have Leadpages if you are making landing pages and using Leadpages.
Chose Leadpages
Generally found Leadpages to be more flexible for building content, to better match them to our branding and our website.
Chose Leadpages
Other than Leadpages, I also use Instapage for creating high quality landing pages for my business. While I like them both I tend to lean towards Leadpages because of Leadpages integration settings. I love how customization is so easy and flexible with Instapage but I found …

If you aren't too picky about having precise control over your page designs, Instapage is a great tool that will make it easy to build and publish pages quickly. It's easy to set up and intuitive to use. It seems like that audience (prioritizes speed over precision) is their target -- for control freaks like me, it comes up a little short. The pricing is pretty good for what you get -- a super-fast path to getting campaigns out quickly so that you can test and iterate your way to profitability. It plays really well with most other tools designed for the small, scrappy startup marketing team, too.

If you are looking for a simple landing page builder that allows you to create professional landing pages quickly without having to involve a developer, then Leadpages can work for you. This is especially the case if you use a combination of the integrations I previously mentioned. I would also recommend subscribing to a high level than the standard version so you get access to good customer service. If you are wanting to get more creative and want flexibility with your landing pages, you want deeper reporting capabilities, or you don't use any of the integrations supported by Leadpages, I would recommend finding another landing page builder.

Pros
  • I love how easy the setup was. The drag and drop design is easy for people who don't know code but it also allows coding options for those who do.
  • Customer service has been easy to contact. They are quick with their response times and have suggested workarounds or provided videos to help fix any issues.
  • They are constantly working on improvements to the interface and additional features.

  • Leadpages has an easy-to-use inteface. Page-building elements are drag and drop, similar to some versions of Wordpress, so it's pretty easy for a newbie to pick up with little training.
  • Leadpages makes it easy to embed multimedia with simply an embed code. You don't have to know HTML to bring your pages to life with video, audio, etc.

Cons
  • Originally, we used Pardot and Instapage and I had to pull the coding from our Instapage landing pages and throw that into Pardot to get nice looking landing pages. When we transitioned to HubSpot, they took our existing pages and did this for us. But now they added an integration with Instapage and I am guessing this will solve any issues with using Instapage going forward for our website's landing pages.

  • The monthly payments are painful in the long run. Recently alternative solutions surfaced which have one time payments. Leadpages is good for quick testing, but long term it take from the profits.
  • I haven't seen new features for a good while.

Usability
I've tried all of the other landing page services on the market, and this is literally the easiest to use. I am not a designer or software developer, just a simple guy and if I can learn how to use it, anyone can. That's what won me over. Their support and pre-made templates are awesome, but the usability is what I love!
Read full review
I would give it a 10, for me, I love all the features. For the average person, the number of choices on a landing page could create a decision paradox. Thankfully the pre-designed landing page templates do not require a lot of decisions for a landing page newbie.

Support Rating
Again, support is just awesome. I've never had any issues go over 24 hours and the people are friendly and speak English really well.
Read full review
It's by far the best support experience I've ever had with any company. Many staff members know my name and my business, I'm treated as a real person with genuine concerns, and I feel constantly rewarded by working with this company. In dealing with support, I feel like I'm dealing with trusted friends who honestly care about the results I'm getting.

However it is not as user-friendly as Instapage - and we only use it for certain simple campaigns that don't need us to be creative with the landing pages. I wouldn't recommend Mailchimp as an alternative to what Instapage brings to the table!

Return on Investment
  • My company was so disorganized, calculating ROI was never going to happen. However, Instapage did allow us to meet our goal, which was to acquire a specific number of leads within a month.
  • Instapage allowed me to make quick changes based on lead collection progress. When we were behind on our numbers, I could quickly make changes and A/B test different page layouts.
  • I'm not sure if they continued to use Instapage after I left the company, but it was a very helpful lead collection tool and allowed us to meet our goals.

  • I was able to test content with a cold audience and really see what resonated
  • I pivoted based on actual data, not guessing what my audience would like
  • I was able to test a product's viability and do a beta launch all with Leadpages, without having to integrate any other platform
