05What You Get

Campaign Monitor is known for polished templates and an editor that makes good-looking email easy. Agencies use it to manage several clients from one account, and its automation covers the common journeys without much complexity. It is a design-first tool with modest ambitions elsewhere.

Where it falls short: There is no free plan, automation is simple, and integrations are fewer than Mailchimp’s.

Pros

  • Email builder is polished and design-friendly
  • Good fit for agencies managing multiple clients
  • Templates look strong out of the box

Cons

  • No free plan
  • Automation depth is moderate
  • Less momentum than some newer rivals
