The 36 Best Marketing Automation Tools to Use in 2020

  1. Send emails based on what people do on your website and in your product and automate your marketing process across the user journey.
    Pricing:
    As far as the HubSpot marketing automation goes, if you’re an early-stage startup that needs to create lifecycle customer experiences, you’re bet better off with one of the cheaper tools on this list like Encharge.io, ActiveCampaign or Autopilot. Paying north of $500 for a flow builder and $40,000 to be able to send event-based emails (when someone does or doesn’t do something in your app) is reckless when you can get that and a lot more for as little as $30/mo if you go with a tool like Encharge.

    • $29.0 / Monthly (2,000 contacts, 8,000 email/month included.)
    Autopilot takes an entirely different approach to marketing automation compared to the rest of the tools on this post. Instead of trying to build a complete all-in-one tool, Autopilot helps you work with the best-in-class tools. Autopilot offers native integrations with a good number of tools and an easy to use visual flow builder.

  3. Grow Better With HubSpot: Software that's powerful, not overpowering. Seamlessly connect your data, teams, and customers on one CRM platform that grows with your business.
    Pricing:
    It takes time to master every single feature that HubSpot offers, but the ecosystem around this tool can help you get to grips more quickly. HubSpot Academy, HubSpot partners, local user groups, and the plethora of blog posts are just a part of the wealth of knowledge that this company offers for free.

  4. Marketo's powerful marketing automation software helps marketers master the art & science of digital marketing to engage customers and prospects.
    Marketo provides a comprehensive marketing suite with email marketing, landing page builder, leads management, segmentation, funnel and lead tracking, analytics, and a whole lot more. Contrary to HubSpot, Marketo doesn’t provide in-house CRM.

    Eloqua is a marketing automation and revenue performance management platform. Develop marketing campaigns with simple segmenting and filtering features. Track revenue down the marketing funnel to drive insights.
    As one of the most expensive tools on this list, it’s unlikely that Eloqua is going to be the first choice for your SaaS. Eloqua is primarily used by Enterprise level companies with more than 1,000 employees.

    Salesforce B2B marketing automation
    If you run a B2B SaaS, rely heavily on Salesforce, and you’re able to pay $15,000 per year for a marketing automation tool, Pardot could be a good choice for your SaaS. Otherwise, skip to some of the less expensive options in this post.

  7. Simple Marketing Automation for Agencies and SMBs
    That being said, Sharpspring is an option if you’re looking for a platform that offers its full suite of tools and will not cost more than your monthly revenue (yes, HubSpot and Eloqua, I’m looking at you). A complete set of features is included in all plans. That means you’d be able to send trigger-based emails and create marketing automation flows even on the smallest plan that starts at $450/mo.

  11. MailChimp is the best way to design, send, and share email newsletters.
    Think of Mailchimp as the MVP of email marketing for SaaS. Mailchimp is an excellent tool if you’re just starting out or in the pre-launch stage. At this stage, you don’t have a lot (any?) users and email subscribers, so a free and easy to use tool that offers a simple email capture form and basic newsletter is plenty enough.

    AWeber is an Email marketing software that's easy to use. Send email newsletters & autoresponders and deliver top notch emails.
    Aweber is a decent email marketing tool but not the absolute best product in the category. You’re going to outgrow Aweber relative fast, and with alternatives like Active Campaign, Autopilot, Drip, and Encharge, which are priced at the same level, it just makes sense to start with something else.

    As far as the HubSpot marketing automation goes, if you’re an early-stage startup that needs to create lifecycle customer experiences, you’re bet better off with one of the cheaper tools on this list like Encharge.io, ActiveCampaign or Autopilot. Paying north of $500 for a flow builder and $40,000 to be able to send event-based emails (when someone does or doesn’t do something in your app) is reckless when you can get that and a lot more for as little as $30/mo if you go with a tool like Encharge.

    Turn more website visitors into customers with crash course
    If you’re OK with going with a tool that is increasingly more focused on eCommerce businesses and unlikely to roll out a SaaS/product-related feature any time soon, then Drip is a viable choice for you.

  20. We make it easy to send emails triggered by user behavior. Build, measure and improve your emails to activate and retain users
    Some tools like Customer.io, Autopilot, and Encharge merge the gap between marketing and transactional emails and provide a cohesive platform to automate the whole customer journey from a lead to an active user. However, there are platforms like Sendgrid and Mailgun that focus specifically on transactional emails. These infrastructure platforms are usually used by developers rather than marketers, as they require technical knowledge and understanding of APIs.

  21. Intercom is a customer relationship management and messaging tool for web businesses. Build relationships with users to create loyal customers.
    All in all, Intercom is one of the most popular and preferred messaging platforms by SaaS companies. The cons of Intercom is that it gets expensive once you start to have a little bit more active users, and also, lacks a visual workflow builder similar to tools like Encharge and Autopilot, which limits the possibilities of customer journey creation. Last but not least, Intercom is not the best choice if you want to send transactional emails, as Intercom doesn’t allow sending the same email to the same person more than once.
