Overview

SendPulse and AWeber represent different eras of email marketing. For our take on each, see our SendPulse comparison and AWeber comparison.

AWeber's Classic Approach

AWeber has been doing email marketing since 1998. Simple autoresponders, reliable delivery, phone support you can actually reach. It doesn't try to be everything. For small businesses that just want email done right without complexity, AWeber's simplicity is genuinely refreshing.

SendPulse's Modern Features

SendPulse packs in chatbots for five platforms, web push, SMS, CRM, and more advanced automation. More feature-rich per dollar. But more features also means more complexity. If you'll actually use chatbots and multi-channel messaging, SendPulse delivers more value.

The Sequenzy Alternative

For SaaS founders who don't need chatbots or classic email simplicity, Sequenzy combines transactional email and marketing campaigns with Stripe integration at $49/month.
