    Sometimes creativity is lacking in me and that is where Cakemail comes in and saves the day. I am glad that I can receive creative help from this awesome brand. The pricing is very affordable, in my opinion. It makes this platform a no-brainer!

    Cons
    Cakemail
    • An external package – like PHP support – Cake's component doesn't have that.
    • I'd like to be able to view my user click rate and click frequency at the same time, to be able to compare it – they don't offer that.
    • There's always room for improvement – but what Cakemail does well, it does very, very well.

    I have used other email platforms before, but I think Cakemail is easier to use AND provides you with templates. For the other products I have tested out, you had to create your own templates from scratch. I like the ability to create from scratch, but on days where you lack the time or creativity, there are templates ready to go for you

    Vbout offers a very robust overall solution, with a more basic solution, and a much lower price point than the Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM solution.
