Constant Contact has been helping small businesses since 1995. We respect that. But their approach is still "here's a tool, build a campaign." HeyApprove watches your business and hands you a finished one to approve.
Log in. See the dashboard. Click "Create Campaign."
Choose a template. Customize the colors. Add your logo.
Stare at the blank content area. What do I even say?
Phone rings. Customer needs something. Close the laptop.
Next month: $12-45 charged. Zero emails sent.
The tool isn't the problem. Time is the problem.
| Constant Contact | HeyApprove | |
|---|---|---|
| Who notices it’s time to send? | You do | HeyApprove watches your register and the calendar |
| Who decides what the offer is? | You do | HeyApprove proposes one. You approve, change, or skip it. |
| Who writes it? | You do (or you start from a template) | HeyApprove |
| Who picks who gets it? | You build the list | HeyApprove, from your POS history |
| Who sets up the promo code? | You, by hand, in your POS | HeyApprove creates it in your POS — and removes it when it expires |
| Email or text? | You choose (SMS is a paid add-on) | HeyApprove picks one from who opted into what — you can change it |
| What you actually do | Pick a template and fill it in | Read one card. Approve, change, or skip. |
| How you know it worked | Opens and clicks | Dollars matched in your register |
| What it costs in a month you send nothing | The monthly fee, in full | Nothing |
| Pricing | $12–$80+/mo, rising with contacts | 5% of tracked revenue — $5–$65 per campaign |
"Here's a powerful email marketing tool. Learn to use it, create campaigns, write content, and send emails to grow your business."
"Valentine's Day is in 2 weeks. Here's an email and text we wrote. Want to send them?"
Same goal. Completely different amount of work.
Constant Contact has been helping small businesses do email for nearly 30 years. They've helped millions of businesses connect with customers.
But they're still built on the assumption that you have time to create campaigns. That you know what to say. That you remember to log in.
We're built on the assumption that you don't have any of that — and you shouldn't need it.
Outcome-based pricing tied to what your campaigns actually earn. No monthly fees. No contracts.
Pay whichever is higher: the minimum or 5% of tracked revenue — never more than the max.
First campaign free. No monthly fees.
Requires Square, Shopify, or Mindbody connection. Clover is not connected yet.
First campaign free. We watch, we write, you approve.
