Great software for managing the subscription databases of our printed magazines

Pros

Subscription Genius can be as simple or as complex as you need it to be. You can connect it to QuickBooks, ecommerce, paywalls, marketing software, and even your publication printer. Auditing, reporting, and all the data tools are there too. But we use for the simple management and exporting of the subscription databases for our printed magazines. Our team members can login and manage the databases from anywhere, and it makes managing renewals and expirations very simple.

Cons

Since we only use the most basic subscriber management functions of the software, I haven't run into any issues whatsoever.

Great media circulation and publication management tool.

Subscription Genius is a great choice for any newsprint, magazine, or print subscription service. Our company has a couple media publications and brands that utilize this platform with great success.

Pros

The essential tools for subscription management, circulation, and content library are all easily accessible. API integration options provide support for external email marketing platforms which allows for more robust campaigns to retain subscribers, provide online content, and increase subscription rates. Direct connection to our mailing house to appropriately manage circulation is a vital feature os Subscription Genius.

Cons

The API integration was somewhat clunky and harder than expected to deploy. This caused some errors in contact records for retargeting contacts for marketing purposes.

Subscription Could Be Genius

I enjoyed using it, but at the time there were not many subscription management software out there so choices were limited.

Pros

Great subscription Management software, if you require more fields, you're always free to add in and customize.

Cons

When scheduling email blasts, you're not allowed to make the blasts at any given time or moment you need, but only on certain timelines and with limited templates even when linked to MailChimp.
