If you need to move
Verified as of Aug 19, 2026. Any tool with its own decline signal is labeled with its status, not recommended as a live move.
Mailchimp
Intuit Assist, a generative AI assistant integrated into the campaign editor that rewrites email copy in line and drafts campaigns, bundled at no extra cost on paid tiers rather than sold as an add-on
The Active Intelligence layer with task-specific AI agents that build campaigns, automations, and segments from a plain-language goal, plus a Model Context Protocol integration that lets external AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT) act directly on the account
It runs on the same CRM database as HubSpot's sales and service products, and its Breeze AI layer (content generation, email personalization from CRM data, and answer-engine/AI-search visibility tracking, plus agents such as the Content and Customer agents) is included in the Professional and Enterprise tiers rather than sold as a separate add-on
Price hike
Klaviyo
Deep native integration with ecommerce platforms feeds a customer-data layer that powers segmentation and behavior-triggered flows (abandoned-cart, browse-abandonment, back-in-stock), rather than treating email as a channel separate from store data
Built-in webinar hosting (live and automated) integrated into the email and automation platform, which most email marketing tools do not offer natively
Automation built on contact tagging and a visual campaign builder, paired with an AI Automation Assistant that generates a full multi-step marketing campaign from a short intake about the business, its offer, and its audience
A built-in AI Content Generator (launched April 2023) that drafts copy across email, SMS, and social from a short brief, layering OpenAI/ChatGPT models on top of Constant Contact's own engagement data
We'll email you the moment a new dated, sourced signal appears for Adobe Marketo Engage - a price hike, a sunset announcement, or a confirmed shutdown. No predictions.
