Can anybody recommend a good company to help us automate our emails?

We are a start up company looking for a low cost solution to help automate our emails.

In 2002 & 2003 I used Aweber which was good at the time. I have recently learned about MailCheat(Chimp) which seems to be free for the 1st 2,000 email addresses. And there seems to be a few positive reviews online regarding getresponse.

Just looking to see what other start up companies would recommend?

What do you want to do with it? Autoresponder? Transactional emails? newsletter?

I use MailCheat(Chimp) for my newsletter and Mandrill for transactional emails / automated sales funnel (self-coded autoresponder). Can recommend both highly.

www.ActiveCampaign.com not as expensive as big ones like InfusionSoft or Ontraport but almost as good (just missing shopping cart and/or sending out physical mail and managing it).

Get Response - http://www.getresponse.com/
Mad Mimi - https://www.madmimi.com/
Constant Contact - http://www.constantcontact.com/
SendLoop - http://sendloop.com/
Campaign Monitor - https://www.campaignmonitor.com/

all come highly recommended for various features. We currently use Get Response, Mail Chimp and occasionally Aweber as being a "stalwart".

I was with Campaign Monitor, great service but gotta say Active Campaign beats it and dwarfs Mail Chimp/Aweber too. It has free 2500 subscribers feature too which is more than MC (and the real reason why MC got popular, not because it's features).

I use Aweber and Ontraport.

Aweber is great for getting started with. Dirt cheap, good deliverability, and very easy to use.

Ontraport is a beast and can automate a whole lot more than just email. But it's 15x the cost of Aweber and has a much bigger learning curve.

We use MadMimi at my slowlane job and have nothing but good things to say about them. They are located in the States and customer service is awesome.

Thank you for your advice. I will try it.
