RD Station helps businesses get started with digital marketing. But "getting started" and "scaling" require different tools.
You want to trigger workflows from purchase behavior, email engagement, deal stage changes, site visits. RD Station limits you to form submissions and field changes. Everything else? Manual.
❌️ Handful of triggers
❌️ Email-only actions
❌️ Advanced features locked to the highest tier
ActiveCampaign customers save 10+ hours/week by eliminating manual processes.
Your tech stack should work together. With RD Station, connecting tools means leaving the app, building workarounds, or paying for custom development.
❌️ Complex setup required
❌️ Limited native options
❌️ Hours lost to workarounds
RD Station CRM only has a few automated capabilities. If you have a sales team, you're either running two disconnected systems or doing everything by hand.
❌️ Manual follow-ups
❌️ No deal automation
❌️ Marketing and sales can't coordinate
77% of ActiveCampaign customers say the platform improved their lead generation.
aiqfome, the first-ever delivery app in Brazil, launched in 2007 and previously used RD Station for email marketing and customer experience. As they rapidly expanded their marketplace, they outgrew RD Station’s limited automation capabilities and basic segmentation features.
ActiveCampaign’s advanced automation and robust segmentation enabled aiqfome to create sophisticated, multi-channel customer journeys and enabled the team to successfully grow leads, improve their email open rates, and expand their customer base.
Gabriela Faria, Head of Marketing, recaps:
“On previous platforms, we didn’t have the design flexibility we have with ActiveCampaign. It was all very restricted. We highly value design to provide an interesting experience. We wanted to raise the level of communication via email and ActiveCampaign’s support was a difference-maker for that.”
RD Station added AI content generation. ActiveCampaign built AI that does the work.
Tell the AI what you need and it creates the entire campaign—copy, design, audience targeting—ready to review and send.
Describe: "Re-engagement campaign for contacts who haven't opened email in 60 days"
Result: Complete campaign, built in seconds.
Stop dragging and dropping. The AI Automations Agent builds multi-step workflows from your description.
Describe: "5-email nurture sequence that moves leads through our sales pipeline"
Result: Full automation, ready to activate.
AI analyzes every contact's behavior and sends at the moment they're most likely to engage. Predictive sending increases click-through rates by 17%.
AI Brand Kit imports your colors, fonts, and logo from your website. Every campaign stays on-brand without manual work.
Growth shouldn't require paying premium prices for features that should be standard. ActiveCampaign gives you the automation, CRM, and AI that Constant Contact reserves for its most expensive tier (or doesn’t offer at all).
