In terms of features, I love using ActiveCampaign’s powerful automation builder. More generally, I love the sense of momentum I get from ActiveCampaign and their drive to continue to constantly improve their product.
As a small team, simplifying our workflow is a top priority, so having our contacts, SMS, and email in one place helps us a ton!
Elastic Email has probably one of the highest email deliverability rates on the market. Besides this, the pricing is very affordable and scalable, the API is documented and easy to use, and the editor works great too.
I've been with them for a long time and I'm not going anywhere. I love GetResponse's tracking, stats and features.
Customer.io integrates perfectly into our data / CRM architecture. The flexibility of their API has allowed us to seamlessly update user attributes, create highly targeted workflows, and run experiments.
Ultimately, ALL the success MiSyte.com has enjoyed comes back to my decision to purchase Keap.
