ConvertKit vs Phantombuster

I give ConvertKit a five out of five rating. Before I started using ConvertKit, I was using MailChimp, and I switched over to ConvertKit. It was a much more powerful tool, which gave me a lot more options for customizing my lists and reaching out to clients in a much more personalized manner. I chose to use ConvertKit because of its ability to interface with many of the other software programs that I was running for my health coaching business. And I also really liked that I was able to make various lists within ConvertKit based on my client's needs, so I could send some emails to people who had a certain need and other emails to people who had a different need. Not all emails had to go to everybody. I really liked the powerful software that ConvertKit came with that just gave me the opportunity to really be there for my clients in the exact way they needed me. When I first signed up for ConvertKit, I was able to choose a package that met my financial needs and the needs of my coaching business. And their references and help items were super great in walking me through all the steps that I was going to need. They have videos and tons of tutorials to help you get set up exactly the way that you needed. I always felt like if there was something that I wasn't sure how to do, I knew exactly where to go to find what I needed so I could get things set up just the way that was going to work best for me. If you're thinking about getting started with ConvertKit, I would highly recommend it. When I started using it after switching from a less powerful email management system, I truly thought, "Where has this been all of my life and why haven't I been using it before now?" It really is the way to go. As far as getting everything set up the way that you want. I feel like many of the other health coaches that I talked to felt the exact same way that once you switch to this more powerful program and see how it can be integrated with all of the other systems that you're using, it's worth the money, and it's worth the time to learn a new program or to get started with a program that is going to help you build your business successfully.

We have been using ConvertKit for 3.5 years now and we don't plan on going anywhere else! If you're looking for an email marketing platform that grows with your business and subscriber list, and that's straightforward to use as well as efficient, then you don't need to look any further than ConvertKit. My team and I find that it allows us to meet our goals quickly, deliver quality content, and all without overcomplicating things. Sometimes simple is best!

Overall, it's an ok tool. A lot of the glitches have cost me money (i.e. sending coupons to my list and excluding purchasers... only to find out prior purchasers still received the email). I've had requests for "discounts" from people who have received these emails after purchasing a product at full price. They are not happy. When people get stuck in sequences they go "cold"... then I end up sending a reengagement sequence before removing from my list and these people get very mad too... they have been expecting to hear from me and think that I don't send to my list regularly. Overall I really feel like just a number to ConvertKit. They don't care about my business and charge a FORTUNE. I think this product has hurt my business, cost me money and soured my reputation. In my opinion if they are charging such a premium price it really should be top notch and this really falls short in a lot of ways. I really wish I thought long and hard before signing up with them as it's going to be a NIGHTMARE to switch. I feel really "stuck" with using them and it's such a nightmare to manage at this point.

Highly versatile. It is easy to deploy custom scripts. You can keep complete control on the automation workflow and scheduling

"A must-use for marketing pros and lead gen experts" What do you like best about Phantombuster? This platform offers free services, which is fantastic for testing it out or for small to medium-sized jobs or needs. Only when you are ready to link modules or need to generate large numbers of leads per day will you need to pay for a subscription. But by then you'll not mind paying as you'll understand how unbelievably valuable this platform is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Phantombuster? The platform is challenging to understand at first. I was lucky to find a colleague willing to help step me through it in the beginning, or I might never have ended up using it. They could make it slightly easier to use by color coding the modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Phantombuster: Find a colleague willing to step you through the platform (or maybe there are some tutorials on YouTube?), as it can be quite complicated to understand at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Phantombuster solving and how is that benefiting you? As a marketing person who is developing lead lists for my customers, I use this platform in conjunctions with Sales Navigator, to download SN lead lists and then get accurate LI profile URLs for each contact. Of course, the platform has far more functionality than this, but this alone has become an integral part of my core business offering.
