Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

ActiveCampaign takes a long time to load pages and emails. That may be due to slow or overloaded servers. It can be frustrating and not a pleasant feeling for any email marketer. To ace email marketing, businesses prefer ActiveCampaign alternatives like Mailmodo for instant sending and automating. You can send emails and download campaign reports without delays with Mailmodo.

According to Email Deliverability Report 2022, 11% of emails sent via ActiveCampaign go to spam, which adversely impacts deliverability. Email marketers, for this reason, prefer ActiveCampaign alternatives like Mailmodo for email deliverability management via domain warmup, ​​email list cleaning, and detailed deliverability reports. We also have email deliverability experts on board to help you land in your users’ inboxes.

Compared to other email marketing tools like Mailmodo, ActiveCampaign is expensive. It’s counted among the highest-priced email marketing platforms. However, its price-to-performance ratio is poor owing to low email deliverability rates, emails going to spam, and basic automation workflows. Mailmodo, on the other hand, is worth every penny as it is 3-4 times more affordable than ActiveCampaign and has a bevy of advanced reporting and automation features to offer.

Klaviyo offers a free trial. You can create an account, edit and customize email templates, import and sync your data, and send emails with it. You can send a maximum of 500 emails to up to 250 contacts. You also receive 150 SMS credits. Once you exceed that limit, you will receive a prompt to upgrade your account by paying a fee.

Klaviyo was designed keeping eCommerce businesses in mind, while Mailmodo is an email marketing platform that caters to all kinds of organizations. For businesses that don’t sell physical products online, like service-based companies, Mailmodo has a range of features, such as AMP email interactivity and integrations with Hubspot, Google Sheets, Influencer Bit, and Pabbly to help you scale up.

Mailmodo is a better choice in terms of email deliverability. If you’re a Klaviyo user, your fluctuating email deliverability rates may be attributed to a low engagement history, poor domain reputation, or scammy email list. Mailmodo helps boost your email deliverability by giving you expert consultations, helping you with domain warm up, and removing spammers from our platform.
