Kit

Avantages

Avec Convertkit, il n'y a pas de frais caché. Lorsqu'on est membre, nous avons accès à tout ce qui est inclus dans notre plan et les fonctionnalités sont nombreuses. En bonus, le design épuré me permet d'être efficace.

Inconvénients

En tant qu'utilisatrice francophone, depuis quelques mois, je ne suis plus capable d'écrire directement dans mes infolettre avec les raccourcis claviers pour écrire mes accents. Ce qui est tannant car je dois faire du copier-coller. Avant, ça fonctionnait toutefois.

Avantages

Easy to build! The platform is setup well for creators specifically to share across multiple channels.

Inconvénients

Did not like their segmentation and popup capabilities, both seem pretty limiting for an ESP.

Avantages

I love that there is so much I can do with ConvertKit. Their segmentation, automation and variety of landing pages could be overwhelming (or distracting), but doesn't really need to be. Since their pricing is based on active subscribers (not emails sent) and they have a VERY generous free plan, you can start simply and try their more advanced features when you're ready.

Inconvénients

It can be a lot to keep track of all of your automations--tagging, email sequences, incentive emails etc.

Avantages

It was better than MailChimp at the time! Had some more features and better deliverability. Set up was pretty easy from what I remember.

Inconvénients

Felt pretty limited in workflows, low customer support, not the best UI.

Avantages

It’s simple to use. I have no computer skills and I feel like I can create beautiful emails for my business is just a few clicks.

Inconvénients

Honestly, nothing at all. There is not one flaw I can think of.

Avantages

ConvertKit has many tools that were helpful in developing marketing instruments for my brand.

Inconvénients

The cost of the platform is higher than other comparable tools.

Avantages

It was one of the best newsletter software I used and helped me gain an audience

Inconvénients

It was quite hard to manage everything in the one dashboard, and at times the funnels had too many steps

Avantages

This platform is great for growing your audience regardless of where you're starting in the process. It's fairly easy to use and the analytics are decent. There are a various opt-in forms, landing pages to design from, and you run paid subscriptions.

Inconvénients

The email editor is really basic and it may be challenging to the uneducated designer. The editor lacks the options to design a stunning email newsletter. There isn't a mobile app so you can't do anything on the go.

Avantages

Kit is so intuitive and easy to use especially for this technologically impaired Gen X user!

Inconvénients

There's nothing that I don't like about Kit!

Avantages

It is very convenient to build the emails with the drag and drop feature. Furthermore, it is cool to activate the automation feature and my time of the task is saved

Inconvénients

Nevertheless, looking at all the benefits of the system, I still think that it is worth it

Avantages

I truly enjoyed the friendly, informative emails with helpful blog posts and tips on email marketing, course creating, etc.

Inconvénients

It pretty expensive for new startups trying to get a foot in the door.

Avantages

CK allows me to tag my subscribers so easily which then allows me to send customized content to each set of subscribers. I also love the email templates that make my weekly emails easy to complete. The extensive library of training resources are SO helpful when I have a question.

Inconvénients

CK is pretty technical so you have to have more of a systems/logistical brain to use it. If you're used to drag/drop, point/click, you may be a little intimidated by parts of CK. It all works well but requires a bit more technical skill that I needed for Constant Contact. It's totally worth it for me though!

Avantages

I love the detailed automation you can set up and it is fairly easy once you know how. I really like the function that you can tag leads and send them into different funnels and send them personalized emails. This helps with conversion rate.

Inconvénients

It does take a little bit to learn. Such as when you set up rules and such in the automation it can get a little overwhelming but once you get the hang of it, it is easy and quick to set up.

Avantages

I love the segmenting and the aiblity to sort by anynumbr of tags in ConvertKit. It reallyenables us to create oppourtniteis tostudy our clientele based on defifient and specific needs and the communitcate to onlyt hose parts of the population at given times for certain services. This is key for us an the primary reason we switched from our old esp.

Inconvénients

I wish there was an easy way to capture mobile phone numbers for us to integrate SMS communcation and automations. So often after we connect with clients we would love to send a quick follow up message that doesn't warrant a full email and this tool does not have full functionality for that.

Avantages

ConvertKit is your best friend if you are a course or content creator and need to manage a lot of email addresses, send weekly emails, and use automations and auto-emails for sales and marketing. I do a lot of lead magnet generation and have so many different segments of email subscribers - CK is made exactly for this. I love how simple it is, it doesn't got bogged down with email design too much, it's more about functionality and high deliverability.

Inconvénients

I can't think of anything I don't love about ConvertKit for email. For landing page design, there's a lot of customization that's missing, but I don't use it for that primarily.

Avantages

It's very user-friendly and it offers many templates.

Inconvénients

I usually use ConvertKit in creating landing pages and I think it's good but it has its limitations when it comes to customizing.

Avantages

This platform is VERY easy to use and is one that I now recommend to my clients as well!

Inconvénients

I have had no negative experiences while using the platform.

Avantages

Easy to set up and use. Has had some improvements since first started using.

Inconvénients

Email editor could be better but it has improved.

Avantages

It was fairly easy to get the account created.

Inconvénients

It was hard to get things working the way that I wanted. There are other services out there that provide better options to what you are trying to do. I didnt find that this software provided everything that I needed.

Avantages

After trying all of the popular email marketing platforms, I have found ConvertKit to be the easiest to use, and the best for managing my clients' email lists. The customer support is always outstanding, with quick replies and they always can solve an issue for me, and if they can't they get back to me once they figure it out.

Inconvénients

I wish there were more features/more integrations with other platforms.

Avantages

I like the features this has - the visual automations are great. It gives you the ability to customize how your subscribers will go through your funnel. The forms are easy to create relatively easy to set up.

Inconvénients

The system is really quirky. I often times get people "stuck" in my funnel where they opt out of a sequence and then are just sitting in an automation. It gets really frustrating trying to troubleshoot all of the scenarios and errors that can happen. Overly complex to deal with. I've noticed that certain things that should just work need special attention... like moving to the next part of an automation sequence when leaving another. Or "rules" you don't remember making end up messing up other tags or segments. There's literally no way to troubleshoot this stuff on your own the information is just not available so you'd have to go through every individual subscriber to see how they got stuck or got sent an email they shouldn't.

If you're looking for support... GOOD LUCK. This is the worst support I've had. They have a chat and you get switched from person to person over the course of multiple days. They sometimes send an email with the support details, and if you reply to that apparently the chat people don't receive it. I've repeated myself over the course of 5 days now and still can't get anyone to understand the issue.... let alone apologize for a mistake that looks like a glitch in their system. I've asked for a manager and the people on the chat just ignore that. There's no phone number to call. It's like talking to a brick wall.

I also don't like that there's very little you can do to customize emails. You really can't design them in any way.

Avantages

I recently switched over to ConvertKit from another service after reading positive reviews. I like their format for sending emails to subscribers so much more than any other platform I've used. The emails are really modern looking and simple, so they're appealing to my audience when I send them. I also like that I can simply reuse my last email and make changes to just the content. It makes sending a weekly email really simple.

Another huge benefit to me is that I can segment my subscribers into different groups that allows me to send targeted emails in a more efficient fashion. I also track users who have purchased a product so I don't send them emails about the product they've bought.

This software is an all in one, which I really like. Meaning, I am able to create an optin form, email sequence and product download all in one with this software. I love that it keeps everything really organized in this fashion.

Inconvénients

Some of the ways to organize subscribers are a little confusing to a newbie. You can sort them into segments as well as mark users with tags. I wish it were more clear what each one did at first glance.

I also wish there were more options to design the optin forms. They are pretty basic and there isn't a lot of room for creativity, but they are still functional.

Avantages

ConvertKit is the top-of-the-line email marketing tool on the market. It's not just an email automation tool, it's more than that. It has many exciting and advanced features for marketers, making it a powerful marketing solution. The free plan is a decent option for beginners getting started in this industry.

Inconvénients

The price is high, the 300 contacts limit is not lucrative, and if you have a large list, the price will go up pretty fast. I wish they had an LTD with a decent limit.

Avantages

I like how everything is drag and drop, it makes it really easy to learn and use. The interface is very sleek and it's easy to find what you're looking for. The customer service is excellent too.

Inconvénients

First of all, compared to alternatives it's expensive. Second, if you want to send more than text based emails you won't have many options. There aren't that many templates. It's better for sending plain text emails,
You have the HTML option but adding customizations is hard for people who don't want to code.
