Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ConvertKit

  • The free Newsletter plan allows only one basic visual automation, so sequences beyond a single flow require paying
  • The free plan is a single user, and the Creator plan at $33 a month allows two
  • Subscriber signals, engagement analytics and paid recommendations are Pro only, at $66 a month
  • A/B testing is capped at 2 subject lines below Pro, which allows 5
  • Paid pricing is banded by subscriber count, so the published figures apply only at the smallest band

Feedly

  • A Feedly account is required before the app can be used at all
  • Tracking keywords, brands and companies requires Feedly Pro
  • Searching within your own feeds requires Feedly Pro
  • Integrations with LinkedIn, Buffer, Zapier and IFTTT require Feedly Pro
  • You cannot sign up for a Market Intelligence or Threat Intelligence trial or account from the mobile app; that must be done on feedly.com
