Which kind of marketing automation you need

Marketing automation covers three different jobs. Lead nurturing and scoring (HubSpot Marketing Hub, Salesforce Account Engagement, Mautic) is the B2B version: forms capture leads, emails nurture them over weeks, scores rise with each visit and click, and sales gets the lead when it is ready. Product and lifecycle messaging (Customer.io, Userlist, Loops) sends email, in-app and push messages when a user does or does not do something in your product: onboarding, activation, renewal. Workflow automation (Zapier, Make, n8n, Activepieces) is not marketing software as such, but it is how many teams move leads, form entries and events between their apps.

Several email tools also automate well: ActiveCampaign, Brevo, Klaviyo and GetResponse are in the email marketing directory, and HubSpot’s CRM and other suites are in the CRM directory.

How marketing automation is priced

Each kind counts something different. B2B platforms charge for contacts and seats, and the jump between tiers is steep: HubSpot Marketing Hub goes from $20 a seat on Starter to $800 a month on Professional, plus a one-time onboarding fee, and Salesforce Account Engagement starts at $1,250 a month on an annual contract. Lifecycle tools charge by profiles or contacts in your product. Workflow tools charge by tasks, credits or executions, so a busy automation costs more than a quiet one; n8n counts a whole workflow run as one execution however many steps it has. Mautic and n8n’s self-hosted Community Edition cost nothing to license but need someone to host and maintain them.

“From” is the lowest published starting price, as billed on the vendor’s page; see each listing for the billing basis.

How this directory is built

Every price, plan, free option and trial here was read from the vendor’s own website on the date shown, and each tool links to the exact page it came from. Prices are written as the vendor showed them, in the currency it showed, with how they are billed: monthly, yearly or one-off. Some vendors show prices in a different currency depending on where you are, so check the source before you buy.

There are no ratings, rankings or paid placements, and no affiliate links. Tools are listed A to Z. Where a vendor does not publish a price, the listing says so rather than quoting a third party. Prices are rechecked every quarter; the date on each listing is the last time it was confirmed. If a listing is wrong or out of date, tell me and it will be corrected.
