Compare Kit with other popular tools in the same category.
The most helpful features are the marketing products like landing page builders and forms. There are many helpful and useful templates to choose from. Plus they will help you have a site page with your own url for easy linking.
The downside is perhaps pricing canbe a bit high and the mobile landing page and form builder is sometimes glitchy. My experience with this builder onmt android smart phone has been frustrating, but on laptop it is easier than most other builders.
Convertkit has solved my issue with having visitors bIt those online visitors were not signing up nor buying. Convertkit helped turn traffic to leads and to customers. This just by using their free services and products. After becoming a paid member I have increased conversions and sales.
I love that ConvertKit is not just another email marketing software. You can create landing pages, sell courses/ebooks/newsletters, etc. through the platform. It really is becoming a great one-stop solution in being able to tend to your various marketing needs.
Can't say any real dislikes because I have really enjoyed using the software to date.
I wanted an email software that was affordable, effective, efficient, and user-friendly. ConvertKit checked all of those boxes and then some!
Ease of access and great response rate from the team
The sequence setup takes a little getting used to and could be a little more user-friendly in terms of creating lists, etc. before setting up the sequence
It's helping not only me better understand marketing funnels but also explain /show them to our clients
ConvertKit focuses on creating. This tools makes it easy to start collecting your first leads and get those emails out to build momentum. If you want to build a following through email marketing, then this is a great tool to get started. It's easy to use, offers more than enough features that marketers and businesses will want (even if you don't need them yet when you're just starting out). I like the user interface and how you can get pretty much everything done with just a few clicks. No unnecessary steps that can confuse you, this is a straight-forward email marketing tool that's been getting a lot of updates and improvements.
Pricing is a little higher than some other tools. At least it looks like that on the surface. But you're actually NOT paying for duplicate subscribers (one email contact is only counted once even if the email subscribes to different lists/email campaigns). Other email marketing tools count the same email address multiple times. ConvertKit doesn't. One unique email address only counts as one contact, even when it's added to various email lists.
Convertkit offers simple email marketing with good deliverability. It's a modern and reliable tool for sending out email newsletters. I use it for automated email series and email broadcasts to my customers and blog subscribers. It does a good job.
I love so many things about ConvertKit, and I'm happy I made the switch. The thing I like best is how easy it is to set up automations. I have several automations setu p for my newsletter subscribers, including adding members to my email lists, a welcome series, and custom RSS feeds based on how people want to receive emails (for every post, daily, or weekly). ConvertKit makes it easy. I like the look of ConvertKit emails and forms and the emphasis on text and not using too many images also.
There was a small learning curve when I started using ConvertKit, for example learning how to use tags. But ConvertKit has lots of helpful tips and guidance in their knowledge base. Twice I had to ask for help in chat and someone responded to me within a few minutes. I needed help figuring out how to set up multiple choice checkboxes for readers so they could select which newsletters they wanted to subscribe to. The employees who responded in the chat directed me to the instructions and I was able to set this feature up easily after reading the links they sent me.
I run a local news website. My readers want choices for receiving emails. The RSS automation features offered with ConvertKit helped me serve those readers. The deliverability is excellent too, and now that I'm launching a freemium newsletter, I can use ConvertKit to charge premium subscribers. ConvertKit seems to care about user success and often offers courses and helpful emails that include tips on how to improve what you are doing.
Great customer service, support, conferences, webinars and community.
Some coding involved now and then to customize templates, but otherwise, it's absolutely perfect. Seriously.
Rethinking email marketing as a way of cultivating relationships with clients in a more targeted, helpful way (to the clients).
When we did email marketing, especially for blog content and welcome emails to all new investors, convertkit was super helpful in creating automations and workflows for emails. It's super easy and intuitive and I believe it is priced very well.
The only thing I didn't like was that it didn't have as many integrations to crms or other tools like mailchimp might.
Automations for welcome emails and tracking open rates and such is super useful.
I love that you can create landing pages, tags, and the ease-of-use on the client side as well. For example rather than creating multiple list and paying for the same people in duplicate lists they can just get a tag added. You can also send out an email with a tag, for a launch, for example. If they want to opt in to hear about that launch all they have to do is click the button without re-filling out a form
The price is more for those just getting started, but once you grow your list the price is actually cheaper. The landing pages are not as good as lead pages. I wish I could cancel my lead pages membership and just use ConvertKit but they're not at the same level.
Having to have multiple lists in my email provider! Plus being able to automate my email marketing and drip content out to course subscribers
