ActiveCampaign is one of our top recommended email services for integrating with MemberVault - it’s the email tool we use, too!
In fact, when we set out to create MemberVault, ActiveCampaign was the benchmark email service that we used for all relative testing and it still is. So in a sense, MV was built to integrate with ActiveCampaign above all other email services.
Pros
Well, first off, their interface and navigation are incredibly intuitive making for a strong and efficient user experience and typically speaking, a quick learning curve for new users.
Their automation builder, which will be very important to complement your MV use, displays your automation steps in a flow chart format which is perfect for anyone who is a visual learner and planner.
ActiveCampaign’s ability to segment your contacts based on tags, lists and actions they’ve taken (or not taken) makes it incredibly easy for you to target your emails to the right people. This ties in beautifully with MV’s focus on engagement tracking and gamification.
You can use any of ActiveCampaign's paid plans with MemberVault. As of this article's most recent update (June 2025), AC has four paid plans: Starter, Plus, Pro and Enterprise.
Each plan adds more features and capabilities, so check out their full pricing comparison on this page to see which plan is best for you!
Cons
The biggest downside might be the fact that it’s “too much” for some people.
If you are just starting out with email marketing and offering digital content online, it’s very possible that you might find ActiveCampaign a bit intimidating given that it’s a rather robust tool.
There’s a lot to learn when you start diving into email marketing and automation and if learning new online tools can be a bit of a struggle for you, the learning curve might be a bit more than you want to take on.
In good news, they have an incredible education center to help you get started!
While ActiveCampaign does not offer a free plan, they do offer a no-risk, no-obligation 14-Day Free Trial for you to test the platform and see if it’s a strong fit for you.
