GrooveMail Review: Pricing, Demo, Pros, & Cons

The money's in the list! As the saying goes, if you’re a digital marketer, you should be actively building your email list. After months of anticipation, the GrooveDigital team has officially launched “GrooveMail,” their premium solution for your email marketing needs. While still in ‘beta,’ paying GrooveFunnels users can now login and start building sequences and sending broadcasts. 

What is GrooveMail? How much does it cost? And how does it compare to other email autoresponders on the market?

In this GrooveMail review, we’ll look at what you can expect inside of their latest GrooveApp, and show how it integrates with the rest of the GrooveFunnels suite of tools. Sound good? Let’s go!

What is GrooveMail?

GrooveMail is the fully integrated email marketing and autoresponder solution inside of GrooveFunnels. Mike Filsaime's goal is to not just make another email autoresponder, but to build a full Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution for all Groove users. 

An ambitious goal, the Groove CEO says GrooveMail will compete with the best email software companies in the industry. Filsaime has even called out competitors, claiming GrooveMail will be a more affordable alternative to ActiveCampaign.

Not only is he building a premiere email-marketing application, but Filsaime recently announced that ALL GrooveFunnels users can use GrooveMail with their FREE account. 

You can now build an email list of up to 500 contacts and send up to 5,000 emails each month at zero cost.

GrooveMail Pricing

If GrooveMail is all they claim it to be, this is a huge disruptor. Why? Because competitors like ActiveCampaign are not ‘cheap’ marketing tools. Depending on the size of your list, an ActiveCampaign account can cost hundreds of dollars each month...

If you've locked in a free account with GrooveFunnels, you can use GrooveMail at no cost (to a list of up to 500 contacts).

If you locked in GrooveFunnels via the Lifetime deal, you’re getting premium email marketing capabilities and features at no additional cost - for life. By shifting your business over to Groove, you’ve eliminated a monthly recurring expense from your business. 

What happens if you miss the Lifetime deal?

At the time of this writing, you can still lock in a lifetime deal and get all of GrooveFunnels for a low one-time fee.  They are however, planning on eliminating this option soon and moving to a monthly recurring fee for their platform.

Even if you miss out on the Platinum Lifetime deal and join GrooveFunnels via the monthly payment plan, you’re still getting a top tier email and CRM solution bundled in with the rest of the GrooveFunnels suite of tools, for less than some are paying for ActiveCampaign alone.

ActiveCampaign Pricing

ActiveCampaign's monthly pricing for 5,000 contacts

The GrooveFunnels Unlimited deal gave full access to GrooveMail (and the rest of GrooveFunnels) for a one-time payment of $1,397.

Platinum users can email up to 25,000 contacts at zero additional costs - ever.

After they shift to a monthly plan, GrooveFunnels members get full access to GrooveMail (and the rest of GrooveFunnels) for as low as $99/month. 

To compare GrooveMail to the competition, ActiveCampaign's "Lite" plan alone costs $205/month to market to a list of 25,000 contacts.

See the below images for a full comparison in order to better understand why so many digital marketers are making the switch to Groove...

It will be interesting to see how competitors respond. If Groove steals a large enough of the marketshare, we may see other SaaS companies restructure their pricing. Whether you join Groove or not, this more affordable pricing is good news for us as consumers.

What Can You Do With GrooveMail?

With GrooveMail, you can do everything you would expect to do with an email autoresponder. Users can login today and start creating lists, building email sequences, and sending out broadcasts to their list.  

If you’ve used GetResponse, MailChimp, Aweber, or any other email marketing platform, much of the dashboard should be easy to figure out.

What makes this a “premium” email solution is some of the more sophisticated features inside of GrooveMail that you usually only find with the more costly email marketing providers.  For example, you can tag subscribers, segment your list, send messages based on your contact's behavior, and more. 

Tagging

Did someone join your email list via one of your lead magnets? Did they walk into your brick and mortar store and give you permission to market to them? Great, you can 'tag' these people under different categories.  Your messaging may be different for the ‘offline’ brick and mortar customer than your online visitor.

Segmentation

You can segment people on your lists based on these tags. GrooveMail has unique segmentation where you can (for example) email everyone on one list (walked into your store), but exclude everyone on another list (already paid for your course). This is easy to do inside the GrooveMail dashboard - and something that many email marketing platforms just don't do.

How many times have you received promo emails about a course or product you've already purchased? This feature ensures the emails you send your list are targeted and appropriate to the people receiving them.

When you add someone to a list (your newsletter), you can assign a tag (walked in the store), and purchased (productA). The more tags you have, the more information you have about the customer that you can use for targeted segmentation.

Dynamic Variables

As is common with most email marketing applications, you can use dynamic variables to better personalize email messages. For example, if you’ve collected a subscriber’s first name when they joined your list, you can enter their “first name” in your messages.  You can personally address your subscriber by name in your email...

Conditional Split

Conditional splits are great for email marketing automation. Send Y if they do X… Did you send a promotional email for your limited time offer?  If a specific amount of time passes and your contact never opened your email, you can trigger another email message to resend this information. Maybe this time with a different subject line. You can create full sequences in which subscribers get automated email messages based on their behavior.

What Else Can You Do In GrooveMail?

There is so much you can do inside of GrooveMail, this is not a full list of all features and benefits. In fact, they’re continuously adding to the software so don’t expect to find everything here. Some additional unique features:

  • You can specify when emails get sent out. Don’t want to send a message at 3am? Users can set this up based on time zones or the time your customers more typically open emails.
  • You can tag people based on whether or not they open specific messages. 
  • At the end of a sequence, you can subscribe them to a different list.

Coming Soon: Broadcasts with SMS Integration

Soon they’re rolling out the ability to send a broadcast with SMS integration through Twilio. Users can create SMS funnels and create sequences that follow-up via SMS messaging. 

You can use GrooveMail for your marketing campaigns, build automated sequences, and send out broadcasts. One of the most unique benefits of the Groove email autoresponder software is that it integrates nicely with the rest of GrooveFunnels.

Note: GrooveDigital has also recently invested in Chatmatic with the goal of fully integrating the chatbot and SMS automation software with the rest of GrooveFunnels.

Full GrooveFunnels Integration

Did someone just schedule an interview with you via GrooveCalendar? You can setup GrooveMail to send out an email confirmation, or even a reminder message an hour before your interview.

Did a visitor watch 25% of your video or webinar? All of the GrooveApps are integrated with eachother. Data from GrooveVideo or GrooveWebinar can trigger an email based on your contact's actions. 

GrooveMail Demo

A GrooveMail review would be incomplete without a demo. If you’re already an upgraded GrooveFunnels user, you can log into your account and start using the email marketing software (which is the best way to start learning). If you’ve not yet upgraded your account and want a behind the scenes look at GrooveMail, you can watch the GrooveMail Demo below. 

This GrooveMail review Demonstration takes you through many of the unique features available with the new platform.

GrooveMail: Writing an Email

When creating an email message, the Groove interface is designed very similar to Gmail. You can create the message, bold, italicize words, add links, change font, etc… 

One cool feature is that users can even create custom preview text to specify what subscribers see inside their inbox before opening an email.

GrooveMail Pros & Cons

What do we like about GrooveMail? 

As an upgraded user with lifetime access to everything GrooveFunnels, I’ve made one payment and can use GrooveMail for life! They’re adding so many unique features to GrooveMail and I’ll never make any more payments to use it. 

I can easily create a landing page, start collecting email addresses, and create highly targeted email campaigns, all inside of one dashboard inside of GrooveFunnels.

What We Don't Like?

The GrooveApp is still in beta, so there are bugs. Some members don't like the idea of being beta-testers. But this is part of the deal of getting in on the ground-floor. If you were lucky enough to get in via the lifetime deal, it was 'baked into' the pricing.  If you don't want to be a beta tester? Just sit back and wait as the developers get everything working. 

I’ve personally started playing with the software and while it isn’t perfect, I have not taken on the duties of reporting bugs or issues to the developers…

GrooveMail Review

To summarize this GrooveMail review, exciting things are happening right now with GrooveDigital... Between the buzz from their software launch, to more GrooveApps getting added inside the members area, the company is getting a lot of attention. This GrooveMail email autoresponder and CRM is one of the biggest pieces to their suite of tools. If it lives up to the hype, GrooveMail should be making the competitors nervous. A premium tool that's free (for a limited number of contacts) and unlocked for full use at a very reasonable price.

For many digital marketers, getting started with Groove is a no-brainer...
