The @getdrip platform is great in theory. In practice, the quantity of bugs and problems that are so trivial is amazing. Links not working, colors not applied. Pretty disappointing.

This is pathetic @getdrip as a third party service provider, it is not up to you to decide crypto’s validity, this is discrimination and you should have it on your website instead wasting valuable time of legitimate companies #getdrip pic.twitter.com/WDVZDuvBJ8

Frequently Asked Questions
You can use Drip for free for 14 days. Their free trial restricts you from sending unlimited emails, though. If you’re keen to access unlimited email templates, advanced reporting and automation features, we suggest considering Drip alternatives like Mailmodo. Mailmodo has affordable pricing plans.
Drip has a low number of integrations and limited reporting features. If you’re looking for a full-stack email marketing solution to measure campaign metrics such as open rates, click rates, submissions, and bounces using a visual reporting dashboard and get access to A/B testing and exporting analytics data, consider using Drip alternatives like Mailmodo.
Getting the automation feature to work well in Drip requires some practice because it's a complex and cluttered platform. If you’re looking for an intuitive and user-friendly email automation platform, consider using Drip alternatives like Mailmodo. Build custom journeys, use ready-made workflows, and trigger them from anywhere with Mailmodo.
The deliverability rate for Drip is only 89%, which gives a clear picture of its low inbox placement rate. If you want to boost your email deliverability, consider using Drip alternatives like Mailmodo for 1-on-1 deliverability consultation, warmed up domain, and suppression strategies.
Drip’s email editor can be buggy and its form builder is limiting, according to customer reviews on G2. You can create email forms that get you more responses on Mailmodo’s intuitive no-code builder. With Mailmodo’s 50+ form templates, reusable blocks, and responsive design, it’s an email marketing tool to reckon with.
You simply need to integrate your e-commerce platform with Mailmodo and migrate your email templates and contacts from Drip to Mailmodo. You can move your contacts manually or via a CSV file. Don’t forget to sunset your Drip account, and clean your email list before importing it to Mailmodo.
