Chose Linked Helper
An excellent price-to-quality ratio, complemented by swift and supportive customer service.
Ontraport
Chose Ontraport
We used it because it was recommended by other coaching companies.
It meets well the need we have which is mostly about creating different type of access based on when the clients joined our program.
Chose Ontraport
We initially selected Ontraport based on the seemingly quality reviews. While they are priced much higher than their competitors, we initially took that as a positive. Perhaps the price tag hinted at better service, more robust features and superiority deliverability.

None of …
Chose Ontraport
They are all different. Hubspot is great but doesn't have the checkout and sales tools. Active Campaign Rocks, but it doesn't have sales and checkouts. Infusionsoft has everything like Ontraport but the support is not where it should be and you have to invest in 3rd party addon …
Chose Ontraport
It let me combine everything into one & have greater control over the whole process of everything, instead of having it scattered apart.
Chose Ontraport
ONTRAPORT does a couple things far better than the competition like having all of its functionality on one platform. Some competitors offer both internal tracking and external marketing but require logins to their other software to access these features. Additionally, the …
Chose Ontraport
I think ONTRAPORT is a decent platform for smaller companies to grow into. It's not as complex as Infusionsoft, and I do feel like you'll use more of it than you would Infusionsoft as a business owner and marketer. I probably wouldn't recommend it to a startup, though because …
Chose Ontraport
ONTRAPORT's email builder easily outstrips that of GetResponse. Overall, ONTRAPORT's UI, capabilities, editors, and overall user experience are just clearly superior to those of GetResponse. GetResponse appears to be quickly becoming outdated in such a fast-moving market. We …
Chose Ontraport
Task management was the main thing that separated ONTRAPORT for me. Keeping things accountable. As well, I felt the campaign builder was slicker, and that the contact management was more robust. Custom fields are very customizable.
Chose Ontraport
I chose Ontraport over Infusionsoft because I believe it is just as powerful but less confusing.
Chose Ontraport
More efficient...email management + CRM all in one.
Chose Ontraport
Ontraport is capable of more than MailChimp and AWeber, both of which I would consider beginner systems. It is also easier to use and understand initially than Infusionsoft, and takes less time to get off the ground when you make the change. It is capable of very complex tasks …
Chose Ontraport
I evaluated Infusionsoft. I picked ontraport because I liked their marketing and support staff.
Chose Ontraport
ONTRAPORT allows automation and having the best of ShoppingCart and Aweber in one package. Beside the fact that ONTRAPORT doesn't handle inventory as ShoppingCart does, we still love the ability to have one source to manage our products and customers in one location.
Chose Ontraport
Infusionsoft - I chose ONTRAPORT over Infusionsoft because I could make it match up to my clients processes easier. I value the flexibility. On the flip side, Infusionsoft has some eCommerce integration and pre-configured solutions that are appealing.

VTrenz, Marketo, Silverpop …
Chose Ontraport
I really liked the robust features presented in a way that made sense to me. I needed a higher level system that I could understand how to use with little or no ramp-up time.
Chose Ontraport
ONTRAPORT was 1000% superior to customer.io - I feel CI was made by techie people who never learned online marketing. I didn't use Infusionsoft long enough to really see which is better.
Chose Ontraport
I have used AWebber, Digital Access pass, MailChimp, and Constant Contact. Ontraport is a more feature-rich product, but I assess that their lack of attention to detail, poor usability, low quality, and missing the underlying purpose of their customer's usage of the product are …
Chose Ontraport
Infusionsoft. I picked OAP because there was no $2,000 training fee, pricing seemed fairly reasonable, and features were a good match.

Starting a business you have enough stuff to deal with. Ontraport takes the headache out of the tech side. Everything works together and you don't ever get left alone to figure things out. I would beg any new business to invest in Ontraport. Or if you want to grow and scale an existing business it would be great. I think it more for service-based business.

Pros

  • Campaign builder. The visual campaign builder is very easy to use and feels pretty modern.
  • CRM: customizing what type of data I'd like WHERE has been great. Custom fields, being able to move them around.
  • Task Management: one of the things that set ONTRAPORT apart from other similar automation platforms is the tasks. You can trigger automated tasks that cause your salespeople to take action, and the tasks stay in the queue until the salesperson takes that action and checks it off. This is great for putting together a web of accountability.

  • Ontraport is a very powerful and robust system capable of a great many things. The time it takes to get to know the program is a little intimidating. Don't get me wrong, you can get started right away, but a year in I know I am still not making the most of all Ontraport can do. I am UK based so access to their advanced trainings means international travel, maybe some online events could be initiated.

My client was already using Ontraport and had a decent investment in the tool. As soon as we turn around the revenue situation with my client's products, we will be ditching OAP immediately, despite the significant re-implementation cost we are going to face moving to a new system. I am part of a high-end, professional marketing group, and the overwhelming sentiment with these other professionals is that one should run away from this as fast as humanly possible. I thought their words were just ungrounded opinion, and I deeply regret that I did not heed them more closely before sinking still more time and effort into OAP.

Usability
No answers on this topic
The software is just easy to use. The UI is fairly intuitive. The help system is pretty good. I find it is pretty quick to get my work completed and if I don't document my things well, I can always figure out how I did something when I need to make changes. When I have a problem the tech support is easy to deal with and when things need to get escalated they are resolved quickly.

The techs are reasonably savvy, highly courteous and want to do right by their customers. Unfortunately, the product they are supporting is so deeply flawed that there's only so much they can do when your legitimate business requirements are simply not supported.

We used it because it was recommended by other coaching companies. It meets well the need we have which is mostly about creating different type of access based on when the clients joined our program. You can easily create automations and rules to be notified when clients evolve in the program. It allows us to send them our messages at the right moment.

  • ONTRAPORT has helped us as we continue to segment our users - we're able to quickly determine what messaging is working and what isn't.
  • Their form loading is so slow at times that it negatively affects signup conversion rates on our website.
  • They have an open API that let's us connect to other productivity and marketing tools without hiring programmers.
