Act-On

Act-On is a marketing automation platform aimed at mid-market organisations and the agencies that serve them, providing the tools to attract, engage, convert and retain customers across the full lifecycle. The core of the product is automated programme building: marketers construct multi-step journeys in a visual editor that respond to how each contact behaves, so a prospect who downloads a guide receives a different sequence from one who requested a demo, and someone who goes quiet can be routed into a re-engagement track automatically. Email marketing sits at the centre with a drag-and-drop composer, responsive templates, dynamic content that personalises blocks per segment, A/B testing and deliverability tooling. Landing pages and forms are built in the same environment, capturing leads directly into the database without developer involvement, and progressive profiling collects additional detail across repeat visits rather than demanding everything at first contact.

Behavioural tracking underpins the targeting. Website visits, page views, content downloads, email engagement and webinar attendance all feed a contact's activity history, which drives lead scoring models that combine demographic fit with engagement intensity. Sales teams then receive alerts when a scored lead crosses a threshold, with the full activity trail attached so the first conversation starts informed. Native CRM integration with Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics and others keeps marketing and sales working from the same record and passes closed-loop revenue data back for attribution reporting. Beyond acquisition, Act-On places unusual emphasis on the post-sale side of the lifecycle, supporting onboarding sequences, adoption campaigns, renewal reminders and customer advocacy programmes — a reflection of its subscription and services customer base. Analytics cover campaign performance, funnel conversion, channel effectiveness and revenue attribution. Additional capability spans social media publishing and monitoring, webinar platform integration, SMS and account-based marketing. Act-On is commonly chosen by organisations that need enterprise-grade automation without enterprise complexity, and by agencies managing multiple client instances. Pricing starts at approximately USD 900 per month; there is no free version and no free trial.
