iContact is perfect for small businesses, entrepreneurs, marketers, agencies, & high-volume sender w/ 25k-500K subscribers. Nonprofits, EDUs, financial services, event mgrs, and many more love us!
Mergo is a must have for every Gmail or Google Workspace user who needs to send highly personalized emails in bulk.
Lists of contact are easy to maintain, and emails are easy to create, send, and then track the results to tweak campaigns for best conversions. Our account manager has always been great.
Other email softwares charged by the email and number of recipients, iContact charged a subscription fee, so it made it more costly.
I'm very happy with all the great templates and designs. The navigation has also improved a great deal.
No one to speak with, low deliverability, inferior tech when compared to other competitors with the same price point.
My experience had been very positive. Customer Support, when needed, is very responsive and helpful.
At the time I was using it I was not able to embed videos into the email campaigns which was frustrating.
I enjoy its ease of use and the ability to use graphics to add interest to our newsletter. The Dashboard is a wonderful tool.
Pricing was primarily our main issue, it became costly when we only sent one email per month.
It's perfect add-on for merge emailing where you can save your invaluable time. It's great for sending main information within your team and colleagues.
Their google marketplace page is flooded with fake reviews, so it's hard to judge them before buying. There's a significant flaw with resetting people who've unsubscribed.
I highly recommend Mergo to anyone looking for a reliable bulk email-sending tool. The benefits far outweigh the minor challenges, and the support provided makes it a worthwhile investment.
Sometimes it was a little confusing to know which version of an email draft I was using.
We love the ability to easily distribute our content to as many of our contacts as we need.
Some of the documentation is hard to understand but it is useable - just takes some time to understand the tasks they suggest.
What I liked most about Mergo is its user-friendly interface and powerful features that significantly streamline bulk email management.
If you get into the 10s of thousands of emails, be cautious about how many you set up to have sent at one time.
Mary G.: Hi, my name's Mary. I'm a Director of Education. I am giving a five star review for iContact and for more details, click below. Our past product was Mailchimp and it just wasn't customizable enough for what we needed. It didn't give us as many options to change the layout, or make columns, or individualize the emails as much as we really wanted for our brand. We chose iContact primarily because of how customizable it is. You have the option to change, not only fonts and colors, but the actual layout of the emails. You can make columns, you can put in blocks and dividers, and it's very customizable to match your brand. The other reason we chose it was we were looking for a platform that would have minimal junk pickup, I guess I would call it. Our members from some of our platforms we have tried in the past, our emails ended up in junk automatically, just because they were coming from that brand and iContact seems to have a better reputation with the junk sorters in emails. iContact was super are easy to get started with. Implementation was a breeze. We didn't even need their customer support to get going, really. It's very user intuitive. Non-designers can make emails look beautiful in iContact and uploading a member list is literally at a of a button. I highly recommend pursuing iContact. I haven't found a single fault with their program. It's user-friendly. It makes beautiful emails and honestly the price point is pretty fair as well.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
