ActiveCampaign vs Mailchimp for marketing automation?

ActiveCampaign is significantly more powerful for marketing automation — it supports complex conditional workflows, lead scoring, CRM integration, and behavioral triggers that Mailchimp's automation can't match. Mailchimp is easier to use and better for simple broadcast campaigns and small lists. If you're serious about email nurturing sequences and segmentation, ActiveCampaign's automation depth justifies the higher price.
