GreenRope vs iContact
iContact is an email marketing tool designed for small businesses. While a robust solution for email marketing, iContact is just that, an email marketing tool. iContact does not have any additional features such as CRM, pipeline management, landing pages & signup forms, project management, etc. Using iContact would require organizations to invest in additional software platforms to achieve a full featured business operating technology stack. Tying these different systems together has the potential to cause challenges in managing data, and can significantly increase your software expenses month-over-month.
