Capabilities Detailed Review	Rating	Rating
1 – Email builder	★★★ 3.5/5 We found the email builder pretty easy to work with during our ConvertKit review. That being said, the customization options are a bit limited.	★★★ 3.5/5 AWeber's visuals are a bit outdated, but all in all it's pretty effective in setting up emails.
2 – Email templates	★ 1.5/5 With ConvertKit you have a limited selection of templates, unless you HTML-code templates yourself.	★★ 2.0/5 AWeber has a vast selection of templates, but their designs are a bit outdated.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.
3 – Form builder	★★★ 3.0/5 With ConvertKit you can choose a reasonable amount of form types. You can also create landings pages. Creating a custom design is a bit lacking.	★★★ 3.0/5 A bit basic, but a large selection of form types.
4 – List management & segmentation	★★★★★ 5.0/5 One of the outstanding features of ConvertKit is their segmentation based on tags. You can get really targeted with who you want to send emails and automations too.	★★★ 3.0/5 The tagging options are a bit limited and outdated, but list management is nicely done.
5 – Automation	★★★★ 4.0/5 ConvertKit is very user-friendly. Automations can be set up easily with their ‘automations manager’. They work with a ‘trigger’ and ‘action’ system, which is easy to use. With their visual automations builder you can also easily create multiple automations with their own rules. The number of triggers you can select are a bit limited, though.	★★ 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.
6 – Splittesting	★★ 2.0/5 It has basic A/B-testing. To get more detailed results is a bit of a complex process.	★★ 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.
7 – Integrations	★★★ 3.5/5 ConvertKit integrates with most apps (also with Zapier integrations).	★★★★ 4.0/5 AWeber integrates with basically every app (also Zapier integrations).
8 – Reporting	★★ 2.5/5 ConvertKit's reporting and tracking options are basic. More detailed information is not available.	★★★ 3.5/5 Tracking and reporting, in general, is done well with AWeber, except for reporting of automations, which is limited.
9 – Support & Community	★★★★ 4.0/5 ​ConvertKit replied really quickly during our ConvertKit review and make sure you are helped out. Live chat is quick and responsive as well..	★★★★ 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.
10 – Ease of use	★★★ 5.0/5 In comparison with other tools, this one is easy to use. Great for beginners and bloggers!	★★★ 3.0/5 In general this tool is not difficult to use, but some features are a bit outdated.
11 – Value for money	★★★ 3.0/5 Although good software, a bit too expensive for the amount of features you are able to use. However, tools like Drip are even more expensive.	★★★ 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.
