Your automation tool shouldn't charge you for contacts you can't email.
ActiveCampaign bills by total contacts, including unsubscribed and bounced. Intempt charges per seat. Add contacts without watching your invoice climb.

Why marketing teams are leaving ActiveCampaign
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
Pricing cliffs hit hard. ActiveCampaign Plus at 1K contacts is $49/mo. At 10K it jumps to $239/mo. Your automation didn't get 5x more powerful, but your bill did.
The CRM is bolted on. ActiveCampaign's CRM (deal pipelines, lead scoring) is a separate module with separate pricing. It works, but it's clearly a second product stitched to the first.
No experiments, no CDP. You can A/B test email subject lines, but there's no web experimentation, no behavioral cohorts, and no unified customer profile across channels.

Lifecycle Marketer
Designs and manages lifecycle automations

The teams that made the switch
We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.

StockInvest
Case Study
StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.
