Moses T
Marketer
3.0

Moses: Hi, my name is Moses. I'm a digital marketer. So I give AWeber a rating of three out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Before I was using AWeber I was using ActiveCampaign. Why ActiveCampaign wasn't working for me was because of the cost, and as much as it was user friendly, the cost racks up really, really quickly, which is why I made the change to AWeber. So the reason I chose AWeber was because it was a friend who recommended me. I look at the interface, it was quite easy to use as well, easy translatable from ActiveCampaign, which led me to making that choice of using AWeber as the next best tool I had for email marketing. So getting started with AWeber was really easy. There was some tutorials that was helping me to get it set up, but it was just like any other email automation platform. So it was really intuitive to use and there wasn't really much of a hassle or any technological barrier for me to start using it. So for anyone who's considering getting AWeber, my advice to you is to just get onto the free trial before actually making a purchase because effectively some people might not actually like the interface in terms of how AWeber is currently structured. It's a bit more of a old school interface, which why definitely get the free trial before jumping in to a paid subscription and to really understand the platform before getting into the paid subscription as well.

4.0

Fraser: My name's Fraser, and I'm a Marketing Consultant. Today, I'm going to talk about Platformly. I'm going to give Platformly four out of five, and for more reviews like this, please click below. Before I had Platformly, I had a variety of different parts to make up a system. So they're all a bit disparate and quite separate, so Platformly gives me it all under one roof. I chose Platformly because it gave me a lot of different options and gave me almost all the tools I needed under one roof and at a fair price, which always helps. Getting started with Platformly, it is a little bit tricky, to be fair, because there are so many parts to it. Because it is an all in one system, naturally, there is a bit more of a learning curve than there is if you're just taking one part of that system at a time. But certainly, it is quite intuitive once you get going. If you're thinking about getting Platformly, I encourage you to do it. It's very well priced. It is a good tool with a bit of longevity, it's been going for a while. It's got a very good founder in Colin Klinkert, who is always updating the platform and making sure it works well. One of the only downsides is some of the templates aren't quite as professional, perhaps, or as detailed, you might be looking for. So perhaps have another page builder in your armory to work alongside Platformly.
