Why Choose 1stContact Over ActiveCampaign?

While ActiveCampaign focuses only on email marketing, 1stContact delivers a complete AI-powered business solution with CRM, sales automation, and multi-channel communication.

COMPLETE CRM

Full CRM vs Email-Only

1stContact provides complete customer relationship management with lead tracking, sales pipelines, and deal management. ActiveCampaign only handles email marketing - you still need separate CRM software.

AI-POWERED

Multi-Channel Communication

Reach customers via 2-way SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, and more. ActiveCampaign limits you to email and basic SMS broadcasts only.

Complete Sales Automation

Built-in appointment scheduling, payment processing, landing pages, and sales funnels. ActiveCampaign requires expensive third-party integrations for these essential features.

AI-FIRST

Intelligent AI Automation

Advanced AI that learns your business patterns and optimizes campaigns automatically. ActiveCampaign's automation is rule-based and requires manual configuration.
