Considered Both Products	Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM Shahin Dehestani CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) Chose Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM Constant Contact doesn't stand up against Klaviyo, so we're permanently migrating our lists and customer profiles over to Klaviyo.

Verified User Consultant Chose Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM Constant Contact is a good tool if you want most of Hubspot's features at a much lower price.

While there are … Incentivized Helpful? Nancy Hamlet Founder/Owner Chose Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM SharpSpring is comparable to Pardot, HubSpot, Marketo, Eloqua. Of these, I very recently used Pardot and the ease-of-use of SharpSpring compared to HubSpot is not even close. SharpSpring is just so much easier to administer. The biggest differentiator for me is support and … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM SharpSpring from Constant Contact is much broader and rounded in terms of sales planning, contact management, landing page tools, and lead scoring.

On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the easiest to learn and use, I'd give Salesforce a 1, SharpSpring a 5 and the others fall in between.

User Testimonials
	Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM
Likelihood to Recommend	Constant Contact Constant Contact is excellent for small businesses wanting a simple email to their customers and leads. We've found that it's not the most robust solution for more complex funnels involved in e-commerce or information publishing. For instance, setting up specific flows based on user behavior, VIP status, and other attributes is lacking. Incentivized Shahin Dehestani CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) Read full review
Pros	Constant Contact Their Emailers are very easy to construct and user-friendly. It takes your Newsletter and sales emails to the next level, especially with the action groups and trigger functionalities. The life of the lead functionality allows you to see when leads get warmer, so you know when to send them what. Helps improve conversions. JT Jurgen Teichert Customer Success Officer Read full review
Cons	Constant Contact The landing page builder is a bit hard to use. Doesn’t have much flexibility. Sometimes confusing between types of workflows to use. Opportunity versus visual. If you imported contacts that weren’t formatted correctly. It is hard to delete a bull amount. Need to type DELETE for each one manually. No bull options to make changes. Incentivized Kaila Troia Co-Founder/ CEO Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Constant Contact We have been very impressed with all aspects of this software and the potential for it to radically change how we operate is huge! Support has been exceptional and we have discovered many extra uses for the software than originally thought. Not only will it give us benefits for our company's growth, but for our client's growth as well. Incentivized David Fox President Read full review
Usability	Constant Contact This rating is coming from an administrative perspective. With so many features, workflows, dashboards, and more, there is certainly a lot going on, and even the most savvy software user can get a little overwhelmed when trying to decide how to best implement and utilize the platform to its full potential. That being said, the SharpSpring platform is well-implemented and well-organized, with most solutions being fairly intuitive, once you have a grasp of the software. It is fairly easy to learn, but difficult to master. Just like any powerful platform, however, the complexity is worth it, and once you are comfortable navigating and problem solving within SharpSpring, it becomes a great marketing and sales tool which can do virtually anything you need it to. Incentivized CM Christine Mullins Owner Read full review
Support Rating	Constant Contact The support is great which really helps overcome challenges if you become stuck and the training videos are great too. Same-day replies are great and I even got some help with some CSS code on the chat. Not many organizations would do this or even respond. Incentivized Darren Winter, MA Company Director Read full review
Implementation Rating	Constant Contact Overall I would say to be patient and bring everyone who will be touching the platform to the onboarding sessions. The Virtual Classroom lets you onboard as quickly or slowly as you want. Sales, marketing, design, account management, get 'em all in on it. For the most part, they will be happy to use this platform. I recommend getting as many people as possible to see the SharpSpring demo. Incentivized Matthew Maginley Consultant Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Constant Contact Pros of SharpSpring: Design unlimited custom fields Can send content & templates to Sales to send in their reach-outs (Outlook extension) Ad retargeting Social listening tool Social media scheduling Email builder: dynamic content Landing pages: dynamic content, rebrandable domain name Chatbot Platform seems intuitive to use Forms auto-complete for known visitors Instant 2-way sync with Salesforce Trigger automated workflows from social media It was easy to receive demo, streamlined sales process SharpSpring: approx. $13,000 USD per year + $2,000 USD one-time for onboarding Pardot: $32,400 USD per year + $3,000 to $5,000 USD one-time for onboarding HubSpot: $20,381 USD per year + $3,000 USD one-time for onboarding Marketo: $29,015 USD per year + $4,500 USD one-time for onboarding Incentivized AN Andrea Nwobosi Marketing and Business Development Specialist Read full review
Return on Investment	Constant Contact Streamlined Processes - sales and marketing are now all in the same place. Reduced Number of Platforms/Tools - CRM/lead management, email, automation, landing pages, forms, etc are all in the same place rather than using multiple tools. Time-saving - sales pipeline is very easy to use for sales. For marketing, we have dozens of workflows that eliminate much of our manual processes from the past. Return on Investment - We're more focused on moving the building the business than ever before because SharpSpring has simplified so many of our business operations and we're seeing massive results! Lead generation - Up SIGNIFICANTLY (between 3x & 4x) since setting up SharpSpring. TH Tim Hemingway Chief Marketing Consultant Read full review
