Acumbamail vs. GetResponse

Acumbamail is a newer email marketing tool that has plenty of room to grow, but they are off to a fantastic start. Setting up my first email list was super easy and intuitive. Creating broadcasts is straightforward, as are landing pages. And the automation flows that are built in are incredible. The biggest downside is some of the documentation being in Spanish. It's easy enough to translate but still slows you down. That said, I'm really looking forward to growing with Acumbamail!

GetResponse is good for marketing automation newbies that want a powerful platform without a steep learning curve. It appears to have a strong set of tools for creating automated sequences, but it's not your solution for large enterprise usage. Also, seeing as how competitive the market's become, while it's not expensive per se, it is a bit on the pricey side relative to some.

Incentivized

• If you understand coding the ability to use dynamic content based on smart searches was very useful.
• The drop and drag workflows were very easy to create and use
• Allowed for simple automation and nurture campaigns to occur off of events

Incentivized

• The online support is excellent, but the written support is sometimes in Spanish.
• Setting up your account for better email deliverability takes some time.
• It's a newer program, so there is definitely some room for improvement in the user interface.

Incentivized

• Lists are rejected on baseless grounds.
• They recommend a service to clean lists and even after being cleaned, emails and lists are rejected.
• They purged 80% of our email list because they were not interacting regularly enough with our emails.
• Their drag and drop editor is set up poorly, if you have similar look and feel emails there is no way to know which you are in.
• Often email templates do not save and you have to start over.
• Sometimes scheduled emails don't even send.

As I mentioned before. I believe that the platform is easy to use. Simple and easy process from start to finish. Email efficient and get to the client quickly. Catch errors that would prevent getting to where i need it to go. Overall great experience and would renew without question

Excellent general support. However, in case of an escalation, their turnaround time over email (follow through) can go higher

Acumbamail is still in its infancy, so it's not fair to compare it to ConvertKit, which has been around for a while, but Acumbamail is very similar in its setup. In some ways, its automation look to be a lot more straightforward. I'm really hoping they'll be able to grow Acumbamail into a killer product!

Over the years we have worked with quite a few email platforms. We feel that GetResponse is a solid competitor. The CRM side is not as strong as a product like Keep but we don't expect it to be. If we are really being fair and comparing apples to apples, then GetResponse is as good as any of these other products. Especially in the area of the visual builder, I honestly think it is just about as good as Keep. And it is better than some of these other products. Again, keeping in mind the cost and the niche GetResponse fills, it stacks up very well against the other products we have used.

• Still too early to tell, but down the road, the impact of having a good mailing list will be enormous!

Incentivized

• Our marketing emails have been much more professional, scheduled, beautiful, and manageable since switching AWAY from GetResponse, so in that sense the platform did not provide the kind of ROI we'd prefer.
• For delivering our regular daily newsletter, GetResponse has served us well and has delivered at an above-average rate to our mailing list.
