GatedContent.com vs. Instapage

GatedContent.com brings a lot to the Marketing Operations party, governance, standardization, etc, etc. but above everything else, if you're serious about growth marketing, GatedContent.com is essential in setting up a fully functioning attribution model. The best thing is that once the key data capture points are defined and built, end users don't need to worry about UTM and other key tracking parameters, they run in the background and plug into pre-exiting processes.

If you aren't too picky about having precise control over your page designs, Instapage is a great tool that will make it easy to build and publish pages quickly. It's easy to set up and intuitive to use. It seems like that audience (prioritizes speed over precision) is their target -- for control freaks like me, it comes up a little short. The pricing is pretty good for what you get -- a super-fast path to getting campaigns out quickly so that you can test and iterate your way to profitability. It plays really well with most other tools designed for the small, scrappy startup marketing team, too.

• I love how easy the setup was. The drag and drop design is easy for people who don't know code but it also allows coding options for those who do.
• Customer service has been easy to contact. They are quick with their response times and have suggested workarounds or provided videos to help fix any issues.
• They are constantly working on improvements to the interface and additional features.

• Originally, we used Pardot and Instapage and I had to pull the coding from our Instapage landing pages and throw that into Pardot to get nice looking landing pages. When we transitioned to HubSpot, they took our existing pages and did this for us. But now they added an integration with Instapage and I am guessing this will solve any issues with using Instapage going forward for our website's landing pages.

Easy to use for both admins and end users. The individual gate/form configuration is guided and simple with little scope for error. Admins are able to steer the configuration with mandatory fields etc. There is a comprehensive knowledgebase and a very response support team if knowledgebase doesn't cover the query.

I've tried all of the other landing page services on the market, and this is literally the easiest to use. I am not a designer or software developer, just a simple guy and if I can learn how to use it, anyone can. That's what won me over. Their support and pre-made templates are awesome, but the usability is what I love!

Very responsive and capable support team, all with excellent product and industry knowledge. Also, access to the developers if required to help support, particularly during the onboarding, set up, and testing process.

Again, support is just awesome. I've never had any issues go over 24 hours and the people are friendly and speak English really well.

Eloqua, Hubspot, and Pardot, whilst not directly comparable, all have a forms solution, but these solutions become inefficient at scale and are open to user error. They can be difficult to implement across various CMS environments and aren't always easy to configure from an attribution perspective.

We also use Mailchimp's new functionality to build landing pages. It has some advantages since we use Mailchimp as our email marketing system. However it is not as user-friendly as Instapage - and we only use it for certain simple campaigns that don't need us to be creative with the landing pages. I wouldn't recommend Mailchimp as an alternative to what Instapage brings to the table!

• My company was so disorganized, calculating ROI was never going to happen. However, Instapage did allow us to meet our goal, which was to acquire a specific number of leads within a month.
• Instapage allowed me to make quick changes based on lead collection progress. When we were behind on our numbers, I could quickly make changes and A/B test different page layouts.
• I'm not sure if they continued to use Instapage after I left the company, but it was a very helpful lead collection tool and allowed us to meet our goals.
