What you would be giving up
The record we hold does not list what AWeber is typically used for, so there is no honest way to enumerate what a switch would cost you from this page alone.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If AWeber is broadly right and the question is cost, the AWeber pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Email Marketing category lists everything the directory holds, and best email marketing tools ranks them.
AWeber runs on not recorded. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
