Act-On & It's Competitors
- Lynne Becera | January 2021 | Fact Checked
It seems like a crowded space, but we like 3 of the main marketing automation platforms in market. Their strengths and weaknesses are called out below.
Top 3 options are: Act-On (starting at $900 per month, complete marketing automation program), MailChimp (Free Trial and free plan includes up to 2,000 contacts, with 10,000 sends per month and a daily limit of 2,000), Marketo (Marketo Engage pricing starts at $895.00 per month).
Let’s take each in turn:

3. Marketo
Marketo (Marketo offers three standard pricing tiers, at $895, $1,795, and $3,175 per month)
Marketo has grown into a leader in marketing automation, but at their core they are a company for marketers, by marketers. They wake up every morning thinking about how they can make life better for their fellow marketers. This passion has evolved into a vibrant community they call the Marketing Nation®–the marketers who are invested in their solution, and are the customers and partners who inspire them every single day.
Marketo Engage’s end-to-end engagement for modern demand marketing delivers exceptional experiences across every stage of the customer journey to drive efficient growth in concert with Sales.
Our Conclusion
They all have pros and cons. Act-On is our top choice and is great for automating, launching, measuring, and optimizing multi-dimensional campaigns. MailChimp is a good second choice being an all-in-one Marketing Platform for small business with a smaller feature set, and Marketo is on our last spot due to their higher plan pricing although they have grown into a leader in marketing automation.
All of them monetise users and marketing automation, and in that regard you could start at the beginning of the list and work down to see which one suits you best.
