BombBomb vs. Hippo Video

BombBomb has helped a lot in our Sales department. Our emails to prospective customers stand out and having the ability to make a personalized video to the person we're trying to establish a relationship with gives us that extra touch.

Hippo Video is great to create personalized sales/support videos. You can can attach them to your email messages and send them as cold emails. Or you can use them to send your team members instructions of a project that you're stuck on or having problem with. You can use it for personal screen recording sessions as well. You can record webcams and also have your clients create testimonial videos. It has a nice UI/UX

As said before, the usability is very straightforward and the customization options are good enough to get the job done. There is a mobile app to help with real-time engagement so that is useful too. They offer plenty of training and best practices to make sure you are getting the most out of BombBomb.

Overall it's very easy to use and the video emails stand out. Everything loads quickly and they make it easy to set up. It features CRM-like functionality to view opens, clicks, time watched, etc., but it doesn't port that info over to your existing CRM which is where some of the friction occurs. Still, it's amazing for what it does. I recommend giving it a try for our outreach.

A few times over the years I have asked for features to be added to BombBomb and I am amazed at how fast they can implement. Zapier integration is a perfect example. They implemented the connection to Zapier within 30 days of my feature request. It took a much larger company, Keller Williams Realty over 10 years to implement the same request.

Hippo Video is in India. They answer your questions but they do take a little time. Not sure if they're a big team but they do respond to important messages. They also use their own tool for support and will show you how to fix the problems that you're having.

The office has been using BombBomb for a long time and has a lot of templates built. It would take a significant amount of time to convert over for our mass emailing purposes. On an individual level, we enjoy the video messaging option as that is not offered in all mass emailing services.

Loom is an excellent tool, and I have nothing to say against it, but I feel Hippo Video has an edge on the Marketing/Sales focus that is key for my organizations. Bonjoro is also a good choice, but I noticed a focus on Customer Service and just building relationships with existing clients, which is okay, but for our purposes, we needed a more go-to-market-oriented tool.

• Overall, I think BombBomb has given us a positive ROI on our email marketing efforts. I don't have numbers to support that claim, but it's more affordable and better positioned for what we needed to do than many other tools out in the marketplace. If you need to differentiate your email, the video component is a great way to go.
