Pros & Cons

ActiveCampaign logo
ActiveCampaign

Pros

  • Every plan, including Starter, has multi-step automation and AI campaign builders, so small teams can run nurture sequences cheaply.
  • Pro adds predictive sending, conditional content and attribution tracking at a list price of about 79 USD a month for 1,000 contacts on annual billing.
  • Enterprise covers compliance-heavy buyers with SSO, HIPAA support, custom objects and a Salesforce integration.
  • Review sites rate it highly, at about 4.4 on G2 from around 14,700 reviews and 4.6 on Capterra.
  • iOS and Android apps let users create and manage deals, assign tasks and log calls on the go.

Cons

  • Pricing is tied to contact count and rises sharply as lists grow, and there is no permanent free plan.
  • Deal pipelines and inbox sales email cost extra through CRM add-ons, which adds a lot to the total cost for sales teams.
  • Starter allows only 5 actions per automation and 1 user, and it has no landing pages.
  • Reviewers often mention a steep learning curve and slow support on lower tiers.
  • Reporting customisation is limited, and deals cannot be exported without the API.

Xtremepush

Pros

  • It covers a very wide set of channels in one tool, including email, SMS, mobile and web push, inboxes, onsite messages and landing pages.
  • Loyalty, gamification and a real-time sports feed are built in, which suits betting and gaming operators.
  • Reviewers often praise support as responsive and professional.
  • Reviewers describe the platform as stable and fast, with system failures being rare.
  • Review scores are strong: 4.4 out of 5 on G2 from 263 reviews and 4.5 on Capterra.

Cons

  • No pricing is published, so buyers must book a demo to get a quote.
  • Reviewers report that segment calculations and updates can be slow.
  • Some users find analytics hard to compare and report data discrepancies.
  • G2 reviewers mention a steep learning curve, and one said they had to add Optimove to cover gaps in the product.
