Drip Ecommerce CRM vs. Streamsend

Drip is my top recommendation for most people who have an existing business and audience and want to move beyond basic email broadcast and drip campaigns and start building out more personalized sequences. I don't recommend the tool for people starting out, or for anyone that isn't bringing in solid profit every month as there are cheaper tools out there to get started with.

I believe this service is best suited for companies who wish to be sending newsletters or any information that is delivered via text. If you are focused primarily on sending images, you are better off uploading your own template

• I think the workflows from Drip are particularly well done. It is easy to see how someone might work their way through my system.
• It is easy to set up the campaigns as Drip walks you through each step.
• Drip shows you how many people have been on your website and how your forms are performing well.

• Organized layouts to complete all your newsletter, Eblast and Evite needs
• Reporting was accurate and detailed for providing a strength and weakness per campaign
• List building was easy to upload and easy to organize

• Pricing is a bit on the higher side but well worth it so long as you're using it
• Direct integration with Salesmate vs going through Zapier

• The tools for creating the marketing piece could be updated a bit. There are not any layouts available that are particularly laid out for our industry. We focus on imagery rather than text, and we don't need a newsletter format.
• It has been challenging for me to connect our social media sites to marketing pieces in the past. I feel like this could be done with more ease.

A lot of times if a product is working, switching and trying something new with affect productivity. Everyone knows how to use Streamsend and it's not broke, so why fix it?

We decided to move away from Mailchimp when they announced the changes to their service plans. We cast a wide net and ended up boiling it down to Drip, Klaviyo, Omnisend, and Constant Contact. They all have a similar set of features, but Drip was willing to work with us on price instead of simply referring us to their tiered plans. Even though they don't have a direct integration with our e-commerce platform it was obvious they were willing to help us make the connection via their API.

Honestly, I actually prefer MailChimp above the rest. It has a modern approach and utilizes what's trending in today's world. There is more direct customization and social media integration through following and sharing. Tracking and reporting was very visual and customized/designed in a way for our clients to understand
