Ascendly vs. ActiveCampaign:
The All-in-One Platform for Agencies & Consultants
Why Ascendly is the Clear Winner for Scaling Your Brand/Agency?
ActiveCampaign is a true pioneer and a powerhouse in the email marketing and automation space. For businesses focused purely on sophisticated email sequences, it’s a fantastic tool.
But for modern digital agencies, consultants, and service businesses, email is just one piece of the puzzle. You need to manage leads, build funnels, schedule appointments, communicate via SMS, and track your entire sales pipeline. Trying to bolt these functions onto ActiveCampaign means juggling multiple expensive subscriptions and dealing with clunky integrations.
That’s where Ascendly provides a smarter path forward. While ActiveCampaign helps you automate your email, Ascendly is designed to help you run your entire business and scale your agency.
Stop paying for a separate funnel builder, CRM, scheduling tool, and SMS platform just to support your email automator. Ascendly combines everything you need to attract, nurture, and close clients into one seamless platform, saving you thousands per year.
ActiveCampaign: A best-in-class email and marketing automation tool. However, to build landing pages, manage a visual sales pipeline, handle 2-way SMS, or build a website, you need to purchase and integrate multiple third-party apps.
Ascendly: A complete, ground-up platform. You get a powerful CRM, an intuitive funnel & website builder, unlimited email & 2-way SMS marketing, and appointment scheduling—all under one login, for one price.
Your software shouldn't penalize you for being successful. ActiveCampaign's pricing is based on the number of contacts you have, meaning your bill grows every single time you generate more leads. Ascendly offers simple, predictable pricing that lets you scale without limits.
ActiveCampaign: Your monthly bill increases as your contact list grows. This creates a direct conflict with your goal of scaling your lead generation.
Ascendly: One flat monthly fee for unlimited contacts, unlimited users, and unlimited sub-accounts for your clients. Your bill stays the same, no matter how big your (or your clients') list gets.
Ascendly was built with agencies and consultants in mind. Our platform isn't just for you to use—it's for you to sell. With our white-labeling capabilities, you can put your own brand on our software and offer a comprehensive SaaS solution to your clients.
ActiveCampaign: An excellent tool for an agency to use, but not one you can rebrand and sell as your own.
Ascendly: A true agency growth engine. Use our "Snapshots" to pre-build entire marketing campaigns, funnels, and workflows and instantly deploy them to new client accounts. This allows you to deliver results faster and scale your services like never before.

What our ex-ActiveCampaign clients are saying
"We used ActiveCampaign for years, but we had to tape it together with a separate funnel builder, CRM, and scheduling tool. The costs were insane. Switching to Ascendly consolidated everything, cut our software bill by 60%, and let us offer a more complete, branded solution to our clients."
