Keap vs. AWeber: All-in-one CRM vs. email only

AWeber mostly just sends out email blasts. Keap’s business automation and CRM platform does that and a lot more, including 1:1 messaging, appointments, sales & marketing automation, invoices & payments, and more.

Who chooses Keap vs. AWeber?

Growing companies

Some businesses start out with AWeber but outgrow its limited capabilities and are faced with a choice: Add on other software tools to get what they need, or switch to an all-in-one solution like Keap?

For companies planning to grow rapidly, it’s worth investing in Keap from the beginning so there’s no downtime changing systems later.

A more robust platform like Keap can:

  • Save time by automating repetitive tasks

  • Increase income with sophisticated lead management

  • Help the business stay organized as it grows quickly

  • Improve agility by consolidating many tools into one platform

Service-based businesses

Keap is ideal for experts (consultants, coaches, speakers, agencies, etc.) in B2C and B2B markets who need to combine broadcast communications with a highly personalized sales process.

Keap has many important tools that aren’t available with AWeber:

  • Full CRM with both contacts and companies

  • Sales pipeline & task automation

  • Free business phone line

  • Automated, broadcast, and 1:1 email & text messaging

  • Quotes, contracts, invoices, and payments

  • Appointment scheduling & auto confirmations

Go beyond email blasts to marketing automation

With Keap, you can capture a lead, add them to your CRM, automatically send a welcome message, and create a task for sales outreach... all in the same system. AWeber’s CRM and automations are much more limited.

Personalize your sales follow-up by having Keap automatically reply to new leads, customer inquiries, or whatever you need. Keap’s automation takes as little as 3 minutes to set up and can do more than AWeber’s more basic automation.

With Keap, you get a free allotment of text message broadcasts every month. You can also use automations to send personalized text messages, such as when a lead books a call with you. AWeber doesn’t have text marketing.

All communications under one roof

With Keap, you can send 1:1 texts, emails, and calls from your phone and desktop. You can also send text and email broadcasts. AWeber does email broadcasting but doesn’t have text messaging or 1:1 communications.

Keap gives you a free business phone line so you can keep work and personal messages separate. AWeber doesn’t provide a business line.

From each contact record you can easily add notes, add tags, send messages, assign tasks, organize by company, and more. AWeber’s CRM options are more limited.
