  Keap are one of the only marketing automation tools that offer order forms, payment processing, fulfilment, and inventory tracking directly within the tool.

Cons

• Kickstart fee:
  Keap charge a one-off mandatory kickstart fee of $1999. While it’s useful to have an Keap consultant help you setup your first few campaigns, this initial fee puts some customers off.

• No native integrations:
  Keap doesn’t have any native integrations with third-party tools. While they do have a marketplace with over 300 apps and extensions, many of these require an additional ongoing cost.

• Deliverability rates:
  While Keap claims to have deliverability rates above 98%, we have seen several user tests showing that Keap’s deliverability isn’t as good as some other tools. On top of this, some tools allow you to setup dedicated IP addresses for sending emails, which is not a function offered by Keap.
