GreenRope vs Pardot
Instead of opting for expensive marketing software, choosing an integrated platform will save you a ton of time and money. As a standalone marketing platform, Pardot can cost you upwards of $1000/month. GreenRope comes packed full with both CRM, marketing automation, project management, and ticketing, which means you only have to subscribe to one platform at the fraction of the price, with no additional work on your end. With Pardot, you will have to integrate a CRM solution, making the implementation quite costly. Sounds exhausting (and expensive) just talking about it! Plus, GreenRope’s marketing tools are simple enough for the most novice users and feature-rich enough for even the most seasoned marketing technologist.
