Capabilities Detailed Review	Rating	Rating
1 – Email builder	★★★ 3.5/5 AWeber's visuals are a bit outdated, but all in all it's pretty effective in setting up emails.	★★★ 3.5/5 Constant Contact is easy to work with. A downside is the limited amount of customization options available within the editor. Visually, it is also a bit outdated.
2 – Email templates	★★ 2.0/5 AWeber has a vast selection of templates, but their designs are a bit outdated. For $29 you can have a template modified by the AWeber staff, and for $229 you can have your own design made.	★★ 2.0/5 Using Constant Contact's editor makes it easy to customize templates. There are many templates to choose from, but the designs are pretty outdated, though.
3 – Form builder	★★★ 3.0/5 A bit basic, but a large selection of form types.	★ 1.0/5 Constant Contact is as basic as it can be, in terms of building forms. It offers no options like customization, pop ups, slide ins, etc.
4 – List management & segmentation	★★★ 3.0/5 ​The tagging options are a bit limited and outdated, but list management is nicely done.	★★ 2.0/5 Tagging options are limited and difficult to use. You can not automatically tag contacts based on their behaviour, which is a big red flag if you are serious about automation/personalization.
5 – Automation	★★ 2.0/5 It is fairly easy to use, but the features of setting up automations are limited. There are only two ways to set up an automation with AWeber. One is when somebody subscribes to a list, the other is when you apply a tag. You can not create triggers based on certain behaviour, like the purchasing of a product.	★ 1.0/5 Constant Contact is very limited in setting up automations. There is no visual workflow builder, you can only send very basic autoresponders and everything takes too many clicks to set up. Really one of the worst tools we've reviewed in the automation department.
6 – Splittesting	★★ 2.0/5 A/B-testing is possible, but a bit tricky. With AWeber, you can A/B-test broadcasts and subject lines but that's it. Testing content inside of emails seems to be possible but we could not figure out how to do it. And no automation splittesting, which is a big let down for such a tool. AWeber Split-testing capabilities are too basic if you ask us.	★ 1.0/5 The only thing you can A/B test with Constant Contact are the subject lines.
7 – Integrations	★★★★ 4.0/5 AWeber integrates with basically every app (also Zapier integrations).	★★★★ 4.0/5 Constant Contact integrates with basically every app (also Zapier integrations).
8 – Reporting	★★★ 3.5/5 Tracking and reporting, in general, is done well with AWeber, except for reporting of automations, which is limited.	★★ 2.5/5 ​Basic tracking and reporting. For advanced metrics not very suitable.
9 – Support & Community	★★★★ 4.0/5 ​There is no shortage of videos for using AWeber. If that's not enough, you can call them toll-free, as well as through a live chat (limited hours though). We had good support during our AWeber review.	★★★★ 4.0/5 With Constant Contact, you will have access to an abundance of information. There is a lot of information on their website with many video tutorials. Also, you can contact them through live chat and phone. There is also a community present. We've had good support during our Constant Contact review.
10 – Ease of use	★★★ 3.0/5 ​In general this tool is not difficult to use, but some features are a bit outdated.	★★★ 3.5/5 You don't need much time to be able to use all features. It works pretty straight forward.
11 – Value for money	★★★ 3.0/5 AWeber used to be one of the most popular tools. But after our AWeber review we must conclude that AWeber has difficulties keeping up with other tools. The prices have stayed the same though. It is affordable for low numbers of contacts, but very expensive for large amounts.	★★ 2.0/5 A bit expensive, especially if you have a list of 10K plus.

Overall rating	★★★ 3.0/5 AWeber has been around for a long time. It's not the most advanced product available, but it contains all features that you need for your basics. Mostly, it is easy to use. AWeber's reporting for broadcasts is on point and they offer some other cool features.	★★ 2.5/5 After our Constant Contact review we must say the tool is fairly easy to use and contains all the basic features. If you are a beginner, or you only need a basic, simple marketing automation tool, then Constant Contact might be suitable for you. Also, Constant Contact is great for setting up events.
