Campaign designer
Both AWeber and ActiveCampaign have a drag-and-drop designer that lets you create emails in minutes. But customers expect more these days than an email with their name in it, so ActiveCampaign isn’t just an AWeber alternative. You can use no-code dynamic content, so each person gets personalized messages with exactly what they want to see.
Actually powerful and incredibly simple
Even though you get a ton of features with ActiveCampaign, our exceptional user experience is designed with your valuable time in mind. Powerful and visual workflows let you map out your customer’s experience with your business through automations in a simple way. Flexible tags and custom fields make it easy to use contact behaviors to manage lists and subscribers.
