    I think it depends Awebber is easier for indivivuals who are not technical at all. Where as Interspire requires a little bite moreknowledge since its self hosted. and also would need to be integrated with the smtp server you currently have. For a small lists aweber might be best but for people that are technical with larger products interspire may be best.

    Aweber with getresponse has one of the highest email delivery rate...if not the highest...for me email delivery rate is very important...and also can handle large summ of list...

      On top of that, it has become the "De Facto" Standard. WIndows is not the best OS out there but it is (still) the De Facto Standard. A lot of marketing is gonna be involved in getting people out of the Aweber/GetResponse pair (not saying it is impossible, just saying it will take osme effort).

    Maintenance. Managing a mail server is a full time job once your list starts growing. You'll need to know about feedback loops, SCOMP reports, SPF, DomainKeys and much more to stay whitelisted.

    Lots of work. And very easy to get blacklisted.

    If you put the email software on your own server, you have to manage your own spam complaints (with your web host, who might cancel your hosting account after the 1st complaint) AND you have no white-listing agreements, so more of the email you send out will get stuck in the spam filter.

    And instead of Aweber, go for GetResponse. Better price and functionality.

    Unless you want to get into the business of running a mail server, don't do it. You'll spend more time on your mail server than on your business.

    I'd advise the OP to check things out for themselves. Some of the information presented above isn't even claimed by AWeber itself.

    Cheers,

  • Excellent points by everyone above. And, really we are just touching the surface. That said, really the only time its going to be adventageous to use Interspire over aweber, is if you are doing a HUGE launch and have 100,000's of emails you are looking to email to. Or if your goal is to build extremely large mailing list again
    > 100,000+ subscribers.

    In those instances, aweber is simply not going to be price adventageous for you. And with the proper setup you can do quite a bit more with Interspire.

      This is the second Interspire thread I've come across just today. Is there some kind of stealth promotion/awareness campaign going on that has people asking all of a sudden?

    Maybe not an Interspire one

    Aweber (or profollow, the cheaper private label of aweber that I use) has the best deliverability, great customer service and easy to use


    But the deliverability is key, what's the point of anything else if the emails aren't even landing in people's inbox (which is one of the reason's I'm not sure I'd wanna move to infusion, although it does seem great)
