Likelihood to Recommend
Thrive Leads is really well suited for solopreneur service providers, ecommerce brands, and small to medium businesses. I wouldn't recommend Thrive Leads as an enterprise level solution, but I don't think they're trying to be that, either. Thrive Leads will help you if you don't have a whole marketing department (or if you are the one guiding a marketing VA) to do a better job of capturing leads and building your email list, which is the life blood of small online busines.

As I am using this platform for a long time, I believe I am happy with the services I am getting from this outstanding software. It has made my landing page experience better than ever without any coding knowledge to apply. It has upgraded my business in a positive direction and I believe I am using this software for many years to come.

Cons
  • The form creator is WYSIWYG, but not 100%
  • If computer is slow, forms are slow to load
  • Form loading can sometimes affect Google page speed insights

  • The reporting is very basic - pretty much only A/B test comparisons. If you need more in-depth reporting you will have to use an external system.
  • Page performance isn't great. When running our landing pages through Google's Page Speed analysis tool, they did not perform well compared to landing pages we created outside of Unbounce. This was big for us because, in paid search, Google looks at your landing page quality as a factor that affects what you pay per click.

Please see comparison information and other areas of my review. We have no need for Unbounce since all of its features are available in Pardot. We would have happily continued using Unbounce if we had not purchased Marketing Automation Software

Usability
Thrive Leads can be easily used by anyone who has the basic skills to work within the WordPress environment and who has the knowledge about lead capture and segmentation. As a lead capture tool, I think it's use is restricted to obtaining contact information in different settings, which it does flawlessly.

unbounce is a really good landing page builder and is fairly easy to use and navigate. It empowers to create and see the performance of landing pages quickly and easily, so it is ideal for marketing agencies running paid media campaigns. The landing page builder, like all of these apps, can be a little slow, but I have not found a landing builder that isnt.

Support Rating
In general, the support is great. When living in a different time zone, the support can seem slow but it's not. Most of the time, any issues I have get sorted out quickly and if it's not the first time, it generally gets fixed on the second go. Their knowledge base is good too although sometimes it's hard to search. Not usually their fault, more that users don't title their problems better.

Unbounce customer support is very strong. We have been able to connect with them via email and telephone mediums. They are very knowledgeable and can effectively help resolve difficult problems that are slowing us down. Overall Unbounce customer support is very professional. Our wait times have always been small or at least reasonable.

Choose a subdomain that is appropriate for multiple types of pages. You don't want to have to keep changing it. Think about using Google Tag Manager to manage your Google Analytics code and event tracking. Build one landing page to completion. Then make a copy of it if you need to create variant pages.

Alternatives Considered
Both Leadpages and ClickFunnels are great products but because they are so specific in many ways they didn't allow me to use them right across an entire website. Thrive Leads has integrated their products so well that you can use them on any wordpress site and of course with all other Thrive products. I also found the cost much better and the constant updating of the software means it's always up-to-date with the market.

Despite my review for unbounce being not the greatest review or score in the world, when stacked up against its two biggest competitors, I'd prefer Unbounce over Leadpages and Instapage. Leadpages drag and drop editor, integrations, and overall UI/UX is 10x worse than unbounce and unbounce really leads in the category of nice templates and quickness to a production landing page with much better options and integrations.

  • We use this to address our graphic design needs for simple things such as landing pages, poo-ups, and announcement bars. It let's us work on these things without having to always get our designer or tech team involved.
  • With all of the GDPR changes we have really leaned on unbounce to help us create pages to gather list. Using landing pages to have users submit their information is super helpful and it makes it easy to automate the list building process.
