Our review
ActiveCampaign combines email marketing, automation, and CRM with a focus on sales pipelines. Automation is powerful: conditional logic, triggers, and CRM integration let you build sophisticated flows. The learning curve is steeper than Mailchimp or ConvertKit. There is no free tier; a trial is available. Good for teams that need advanced automation and a single view of contacts and deals.
We recommend ActiveCampaign when you need advanced automation and CRM and are willing to learn the platform. For simpler needs, ConvertKit or MailerLite are easier. For email plus SMS and a simpler CRM, Brevo is an option.
