Who chooses Keap vs. ActiveCampaign?

Marketers who want full support from ActiveCampaign alternatives

ActiveCampaign provides videos and help documents, but customers are on their own when it comes to building out their strategy and implementing it in the software.

Keap provides full support for both strategy and software, including:

  • 15 hours of migration services

  • A dedicated Customer Success Manager

  • U.S.-based phone support and 24/7 chat for all plans

  • On-demand courses and a passionate user community

  • Expert 1:1 business automation consulting

Service-based small businesses

Experts, coaches, consultants, authors, agents, trailblazers… Small teams don't have the time to manage lots of tech tools. Keap brings all the essentials together in one platform.

Both Keap and ActiveCampaign have the basics like email marketing and CRM, but Keap also includes important features you can’t get with ActiveCampaign:

  • Free dedicated business phone line

  • Automated appointment setting

  • Quotes, invoices, and payments

Keap supports your entire customer lifecycle

Unlike ActiveCampaign, Keap includes phone support and 24/7 chat with all plans. Your dedicated Customer Success Manager will help you use Keap to achieve your business goals.

Build automations in as little as 3 minutes with Keap. ActiveCampaign’s linear campaign builder requires 30% more steps than Keap.

Free up your sales reps’ time by automating repetitive sales tasks. Keap also includes a sales pipeline kanban board and visibility into all 1:1 and 1:many communications in the CRM.

Send powerful messages and get paid faster

Send 1:1 and 1:many emails and text messages automatically, and keep track of everything in our user-friendly CRM. Keap even provides you with a free dedicated phone line.

Put an end to wasted time going back-and-forth to set up appointments. With Keap it’s included, but with ActiveCampaign you’ll have to pay for a separate appointment tool.

With Keap, you can accept payments via major credit and debit cards and ACH, and automatically send quotes, invoices, and payment reminders. ActiveCampaign doesn’t support billing functions.
