Overview

Ontraport and AWeber are vastly different tools. AWeber has been doing simple email marketing since 1998 — it's one of the original players. Ontraport is a modern all-in-one business platform. For our take on each, see our Ontraport comparison.

AWeber: The Classic Choice

AWeber does email marketing and does it reliably. 700+ templates, excellent deliverability, simple automation, and 25+ years of reputation. If you want to send newsletters and autoresponder sequences without fuss, AWeber just works.

When Simple Isn't Enough

AWeber doesn't have CRM, payment processing, membership sites, or affiliate management. For businesses that need these bundled with email, Ontraport delivers everything in one platform. The question is whether you need those features or whether you're paying for complexity you won't use.

The Sequenzy Alternative

For SaaS founders, Sequenzy offers transactional + marketing email with Stripe integration at $49/month. More modern than AWeber, more affordable than Ontraport, and built specifically for subscription businesses.
