Why use ActiveCampaign and not an “all-in-one” tool

RD Station forces you into an "all-in-one" platform, but does not offer best-in-class tools. As a result, you have to spend more time setting things up than actually optimizing your emails and automations.

ActiveCampaign lets you choose and connect the best, easiest-to-use tools for the job, so you get the best of everything - be it Emails, Marketing Automation or Landing Pages.

Concerned about migrating? We offer free migration services to help you replicate (and upgrade) your campaigns with a Brazilian who speaks your language. Also, don’t worry about integrating with your Brazilian tools - we’ve got you covered there as well.

Move to a product that fits your business needs, even in Brazil.

I love ActiveCampaign automations! ActiveCampaign is so complete and full of possibilities…it can integrate everything in a way that no other tool does. Conditional content, automation, Facebook Custom Audience, predictive sending, CRM…just everything!

The synergy of ActiveCampaign’s features is amazing.
