    Overview

    ActiveCampaign is a marketing automation and email platform that combines email campaigns, contact segmentation, automation journeys, and a sales pipeline for deals. Users build automations that react to contact behavior such as link clicks, form submissions and tags, and can add landing pages and forms to capture new contacts. It suits small and mid-sized businesses that want strong automation logic for email and sales follow-up without building custom code. The interface offers many options, so new users often need time to learn it. Pricing generally depends on contact count and the features included in each plan, and costs tend to grow as the list grows. Check the vendor's pricing page for current plans.
