AWeber Email Marketing Service
Section Winner AWeber

Top 5 Email Marketing Services for Customer Support & Customer Satisfaction

  1. AWeber: Easy to use, and with a 4-star Trustpilot rating and 5-star Twitter sentiment rating, the customers are happy.  Probably because AWeber offers a 24/7 telephone number and immediate response times.
  2. Ontraport: With raving fans on Trustpilot, and an excellent 5 star Twitter sentiment rating, the customers are happy. It’s a shame the support is only 12/7.
  3. GetResponse: Surprisingly, our overall winner only gets a 2-star Trustpilot rating, even though the Twitter Sentiment indicator is 5 stars.  With 24/7 immediate response via chat or email, I do not think you can go far wrong.
  4. ActiveCampaign: A 4-star ease of use, with an excellent 4 star Trustpilot rating, and happy Twitter users, Active Campaign offers great support, although only 10 hours a day, 5 days per week.
  5. ConstantContact: Offering 14/6 phone, email & chat support, a 4-star Trustpilot rating, plus an excellent array of self teach video tutorials, makes the service easy to use.
