Frequently asked questions

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.

SendinBlue is free for the first 1,000 emails like most email marketing companies in the space. However, the problem with SendinBlue is that it offers a set number of emails per month, thus neglecting the number of contacts. A great choice could be Mailmodo’s pricing plan, which offers almost unlimited templates and campaigns and makes it suitable to cater to a large contact list.

The top competitor of SendinBlue is Mailmodo. You can send interactive emails with many customization options, ensuring better deliverability and high volume contact conversion.

Mailmodo offers far better deliverability as your emails are authenticated, and you get expert assistance to warmup your domain. You also receive personalized recommendations to improve your email health to boost your inbox placement rate.
