Integrations can add steps to the funnel builder, Info cards and additional activity to the contact record, and search filters to create more segments.
The problem with SaaS CRMs is that if you want to add a feature, or fix a bug, or alter the behavior of the platform slightly, you can’t. It’s up to their development team to do everything.
But with Groundhogg, you can change anything and everything should you want to. Groundhogg is 100% open-source and provides a number of developer tools to enable you to customize the Groundhogg experience.

You’re not the only one fed up with Omnisend!
These real Groundhogg customers have already made the switch and are now saving thousands!
Is Groundhogg actually better than Omnisend?
Open/Close
Groundhogg is different from Omnisend. And sometimes different is better! Groundhogg is fundamentally different in that Groundhogg is self-hosted and open-source, while Omnisend is a SaaS! There are pros and cons to both.
Self-hosting your data means you own it! Nobody, not even us, can disable your account or turn off your emails. It’s happened before, and when it does it can be detrimental to your business.
Will you migrate me from Omnisend to Groundhogg?
Open/Close
We offer a simple migration service. Will will migrate your contacts and import as much other data as we can, like tags and notes.
We do not migrate automations, emails, or other marketing assets.
Does Groundhogg charge a success tax? (More money for more contacts)
Open/Close
No! We charge a flat-rate annual fee for our software, support, and updates, regardless of the number of contacts you have. Unlike Omnisend.
Are there any other costs associated with Groundhogg?
Open/Close
There are only 3 potential additional costs outside of Groundhogg.
SMTP
Groundhogg is “bring your own SMTP.” We offer API integrations with the most popular choices. The combined cost of Groundhogg + SMTP is still much cheaper than Omnisend in the long run.
Plus, you also have the advantage of switching SMTP services at any time if you find you don’t like working with them.
SMS
If you want to send text messages you will need to integrate Twilio or another SMS service.
Hosting
You likely already have a hosting account, and Groundhogg will work on even the most basic of hosting providers.
However, as you send more traffic to your site you will eventually need to get yourself a solid hosting plan, which you’d need anyway if you’re serious.
Do you offer monthly payments?
Open/Close
No. Why? For many reasons. Mainly, because monthly payments attract more tire kickers and eat up a lot of our time and support resources.
Do I need to use WordPress to use Groundhogg?
Open/Close
You must have a WordPress installation to install Groundhogg, but your primary site does not necessarily need to be WordPress. While it is easier if you just use WordPress for everything, we have many customers that only use WordPress on a sub domain to install Groundhogg.
Do I still need WP Fusion?
Open/Close
In most cases if you are already using WP Fusion you will no longer need it.
WP Fusion does offer some plugin integrations that we don’t provide natively, so for that reason if you already have WP Fusion it may be worth keeping.
Can I get a refund?
Open/Close
Yes! If you don’t like the demo we’ll give you your $1 back. If you decide to purchase a plan after the demo, you can get a full refund no questions asked with the first 14 days of signing up.
Don’t stay in a bad deal. It’s time move away from Omnisend!
When you use Omnisend you’re being taken advantage of. The “success tax,” not owning your data, expensive third-parties, and being at the mercy of tech gods are a recipe for frustration, anger, and eventual heartbreak.
Join thousands of businesses that have made the switch to Groundhogg and save $1,000s a year, take control of their data, ditch third-party integrations, and relax!
