Verified User Chose AWeber We switched to AWeber from Mailchimp because the system seemed better suited for our industry, even though it is more expensive. We may go back to Mailchimp now that they have added so many features. Constant Contact is too expensive for the value that we would receive. Incentivized Helpful? Suzanne Glorie Owner in Corporate at Glorie Concept Realisatie (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber Mailchimp all of a sudden came up with all of these restrictions. I found that they did not communicate that well with their existing users. I have used Act-On at one of my customer's businesses. This is really an enterprise marketing automation tool and is not suited for … Incentivized Helpful? Ibrahim Campos IT Network Manager in Information Technology at Cingular (Telecommunications, 501-1000 employees) Chose AWeber AWeber has more capacity than Mailchimp, so it depends a lot on the need of the company. You must take into account the cost of the two. Another detail is that Mailchimp can be really tedious to configure the automation of emails. Without a doubt, AWeber has more advanced … Incentivized Helpful? Ruby Javaid Chief Designer in Marketing at buzzy design, LLC (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber I found Constant Contact's dashboard and email editor clunky and annoying to use. It's been several years so perhaps they have improved and updated it. Mailchimp is pretty comparable, and it just depends on your needs as to which is more appropriate. I do feel that Mailchimp's … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWeber MailChimp is a great "starter" email service, especially for consumer businesses. AWeber offers a bit more power and sophistication, especially for B2B companies, while still being easy to use and price competitive. Constant Contact had seemed to lag in features for a while … Incentivized Helpful? Joe Gatto VP of Marketing & International Business Development in Sales at ePaymints (Financial Services, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber AWeber is more robust, and for professional marketers because it has so many features like tagging, and moving people to different lists based on triggers. Its analytics features are important for marketing managers. AWeber's deliverability is better than MailChimp or Constant … Incentivized Helpful?

Nicole Steen, M.A. Virtual Assistant in Professional Services at www.resumebynico.com (Graphic Design, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber It is less expensive than Constant Contact but more expensive than MailChimp. We ended up recently switching to Kajabi because it integrates landing pages. Constant Contact and MailChimp both have easier user interfaces and better design options. Incentivized Helpful? Vilhelm Kruse Innovation Coach in Corporate at IDEMINISTERIET (Government Administration, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber If you send out less than 2000 emails monthly then MailChimp is a free alternative. It's hard to argue with free although I am not sure how much the free MailChimp version includes in terms of automation. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWeber For small businesses MailChimp's free plan and more robust feature set is likely a better fit, unless they have prior familiarity with the Aweber platform. Klaviyo and Listrak are better suited for Ecommerce businesses. Incentivized Helpful? Andy Ryan Video Marketing Strategist \| Speaker \| Consultant in Marketing at S A Ryan LLC (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber At the time we used it , AWeber offered features that MailChimp (free version) wasn't offering.

It was … Incentivized Helpful? Christian Karasiewicz Owner in Marketing at Social Chefs (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber AWeber made it easy to get started. They were priced competitively, but we felt they had better customer support, which is especially important when you are just setting up an email list for the first time, and want to ensure you have the workflow correct. They also took the … Incentivized Helpful? Laurel Elders Founder at Institute for Integrative Coach Training (E-Learning, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber Their customer service outshines the rest! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWeber We often use Canva to design our content and then export it as an image to upload into Aweber, as Aweber designs and limitations are too much of a hindrance to our needs. Canva is a brilliant tool for marketing and saves you a lot of time being able to adapt or change an … Incentivized Helpful? Nancy Boyd President and CEO at Bright Wings, Inc. (Consumer Services, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber AWeber costs more but delivers better. Incentivized Helpful? Haley Fox President & CEO in Product Management at ICC Management, LLC / Haley Fox Blog (Public Relations and Communications, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber Drip is definitely for the advanced marketing team, it is not user friendly and very confusing for anyone that doesn't know how to set up a funnel. However, for anyone that does it is amazing. Incentivized Helpful? Mohammed Anzil Founder and Chief Editor in Social Media at Social Positives (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber The reason we [opted for] AWeber over others is for its email delivery rates. AWeber is great for freelancers, large enterprises, mid-zize business, etc. A 14% discount is available if you pay quarterly and more if you pay annually. AWeber is priced roughly in the middle of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWeber It did its job and it did it well. AWeber had all of the features of the competitors, but AWeber was the easiest to use of the bunch. The other software had too many bells and whistles and caused confusion among my team when we worked on different mailings and campaigns. Incentivized Helpful? Greg Dungan Owner in Marketing at Two Creative Design Group, LLC (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber I have also used Constant Contact, MailChimp, and Lead Master. I think that Aweber is superior to these other applications in it's ability to "get down to business" so to speak. By this I mean that the interface is less about cartoony graphics and done-for-you simplicity. … Incentivized Helpful? Andreas Jones - LSSGB, CPP, CSCS Global Procurement Manager in Corporate at Sterling Talent Solutions (Management Consulting, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber Aweber is best in class in experience, usability, price and customer support. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWeber MailChimp only has two features I like: their code tester ("inspector") that allows you to test your custom coded template on a plethora of different browsers and devices; and the fact they don't make your imported list subscribers resubscribe when you switch over to MailChimp. … Incentivized Helpful? Yvonne Herbst Owner in Marketing at Herbst Marketing (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber Compared to Constant Contact, AWeber offers a better deliverability rate and a better selection of opt-in form designs. Incentivized Helpful? Ron Davis in Marketing at Reactuate Software (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose AWeber MailChimp is cheaper for small lists and for dormant lists you can pay per email sent to lower your costs, but it's auto-responders are harder to set up and understand. InfusionSoft is the big daddy of the field and has extensive and powerful automation features, but you pay for … Helpful?	Intuit Verified User Chose Intuit Mailchimp Haven't used AWeber in quite a while, but back in the day it was great because it was simple. The downside of AWeber compared to Mailchimp was that they didn't support segmentation of a list. So you were forced to put subscribers into multiple lists, instead of having one … Incentivized Helpful? Mukesh K. Singhmar Co-Founder in Corporate at SeeResponse (Marketing & Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Intuit Mailchimp We use ActiveCampaign and AWeber as well. I'd say all three are great software. Because we are a marketing agency we have clients who may already be using certain software and in those cases, we work with what they have set up already. Otherwise, we'd look at it on a … Incentivized Helpful? Ashlie Pappas Founder at Naturally Ashlie (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 1-10 employees) Chose Intuit Mailchimp As stated previously, I use Mailchimp as a secondary autoresponder (for transitions between platforms or in case of performance issues with the primary). My primary autoresponders are ConvertKit for marketing, and Kajabi for digital product delivery and support, although I am … Incentivized Helpful? Anne Theriault Internet & Small Business Mentor in Marketing at Anne Theriault Marketing (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Intuit Mailchimp I used AWeber for years and it was becoming more expensive and less user friendly. Incentivized Helpful? Seth Tucker Growth Hacker in Marketing at CourseStorm (Education Management, 1-10 employees) Chose Intuit Mailchimp Constant Contact seems to be the most common alternative that people have gravitate towards, and for a low-tech person I would say that's appropriate. AWeber is a great alternative for people like affiliate marketers. Mad Mimi is a semi-popular alternative, but frankly I don't … Incentivized Helpful? Jason Vance Owner in Marketing at Red Mill Creative Inc. (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Intuit Mailchimp I would still recommend Mailchimp to most people starting out. It's easy to use and set up and doesn't require a lot of extra support to get started. Other than ActiveCampaign or Keap, which are for larger lists and more complicated, Mailchimp is a good choice. If you … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Intuit Mailchimp Mailchimp was usually already in place and needed to be set up for growth. In general, I found that the lack of phone support at the lower tiers and the rigidness for opt-in rules made working with it long term not that easy. Incentivized Helpful?

You can import your own email templates, for example, or you have access to complete comparative metrics.

Mike Hilverda VP of Customer Success in Customer Service at SalesRabbit (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Intuit Mailchimp I don't think that Mailchimp can claim to be the big innovator in the space anymore as others have had to be scrappier recently, but Mailchimp definitely has the most robust suite of tools and functionality.

Nicholas De Salvo Chief Executive Officer in Marketing at Edge One Media (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Intuit Mailchimp I have used a lot of different email services and what I like about Mailchimp is its combination of powerful features, ease of use, and value.
