TABLE OF CONTENTS

Here’s our list of the 31 best digital marketing apps around.

These tools cover the full spectrum of marketing—from productivity and performance to SEO and design.

Let’s get into it. 

What to Look for in Marketing Apps

There’s no shortage of marketing apps out there. But not all are suitable for your specific needs, goals, and budget.

Here are some factors to consider: 

  • Budget: How much are you willing to spend on a marketing app? Compare the costs and benefits of different apps. And choose ones that fit your budget. 
  • Needs: What are your marketing goals and challenges? Consider what kinds of apps have the features and functions you need.
  • Bottlenecks: Where are the gaps and inefficiencies in your workflow? Do you waste time on repetitive tasks, manual processes, or complex tools? Look for apps that streamline your work and save you time and energy.
  • Resource expenditure: How much time and money do you spend on marketing? What are your team size, budget, and time constraints? Choose apps that match your resources and optimize your return on investment (ROI).

And check out other users’ reviews and ratings. Or test the app yourself to see if it meets your expectations. 

The best marketing apps are the ones that work for you.

Why Should You Use Marketing Apps?

Using marketing apps effectively can help you achieve your marketing objectives and grow your business. 

Let’s explore some of the specific benefits:

  • Manage campaigns from anywhere. Create landing pages, send newsletters, monitor analytics, and more from your phone or tablet. This is flexible and convenient. Especially if you work remotely or travel a lot.
  • Automate tasks and workflows. Streamline processes and eliminate manual work. Use apps to schedule social media posts, segment subscribers, or trigger messages based on user behavior.
  • Access various features and functionalities. Pick from hundreds of apps that specialize in different channels, industries, or solutions. Mix and match apps to create your own marketing stack.
  • Measure and improve performance. Track metrics, test ideas, and generate reports to optimize your strategy and tactics. Make smart decisions and increase your ROI.

With that, here’s our list of the best marketing apps:
