Where Staffbase falls short, ContactMonkey steps up

Save time by avoiding manual list creation

  • Send from Outlook, Gmail, or the web app without delays
  • Staffbase can’t sync with Outlook lists, which requires manual list creation
  • Staffbase emails require extra steps to download properly sized images to avoid being marked as spam

Enjoy streamlined editing and collaboration

  • Multiple team members can edit the same email in real-time—no more bottlenecks like Staffbase
  • Create emails without worrying about bugs, lost progress, or unsaved changes
  • Staffbase’s email builder often glitches

Get full campaign visibility to understand what works

  • Track every click, open, and interaction with detailed reports and click maps
  • Analyze by segments, read times, and locations
  • See individual, anonymous, and overall engagement for a full picture of your internal comms impact

Track and manage events from your inbox

  • Send event invites and track RSVPs directly from your Outlook or Gmail
  • No need for third-party event apps
  • Staffbase relies on a third-party app which disrupts your workflow
