Canadian Mailchimp alternative for communicators
You don't lose functionality when you switch from Mailchimp and gain access to advanced subscription management, data storage in Canada and Canadian compliance.
“We decided to switch to Envoke because it’s a Canadian company, offers the same (and more) services as Mailchimp at a lower price point and my interactions with staff have been timely and helpful.”
| Envoke | Mailchimp | |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Communication professionals and membership administrators | Marketers |
| Mandate | Effectively disseminate opt-in and mandatory content | Increase commercial revenue |
| Contact list | Subscribers and members | Prospects, leads and customers |
| Focus | Subscription and permission management, relationship building, compliance | Marketing automation, e-commerce, landing pages, special offers |
In addition to standard features you get with Mailchimp, Envoke also includes:
Better contact engagement via unlimited subscriptions, dynamic content and a hyper-customizable email preference management page.
Send mandatory emails when you have an internal obligation or contract to reach contacts even if they are unsubscribed from opt-in messages.
Easy to understand and fair pricing. Unsubscribed contacts don't count for billing. Pricing auto-adjusts so you're always on the most cost effective plan.
Connect multiple departments that operate independently. Share templates across departments to stay on brand. Not just for franchises and agencies.
Free and customized onboarding to ensure continuity of service. You get to focus on strategy and content, we help with forms, templates and lists.
Don't pay extra for great support. Envoke includes quick and personalized support and even screen share calls with every billing plan.
