What to check beyond features
The Portifer column is what we offer today. We do not restate Lookback's onboarding, support terms, certifications or API, because they change and we cannot verify them; the last column is the question to ask Lookback directly.
| Dimension | Portifer | Ask Lookback |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | Self-Service: create an account and run campaigns yourself. Assisted and Fully Managed: our team and fulfilment partners set up warehousing, packing and shipping with you. Setup guide | Who sets up the first campaign, and what does the customer have to do? |

Portifer or Lookback?
Choose Lookback instead if…

Switching to Portifer: export your contacts or recipients from Lookback as CSV or Excel, import them into Portifer with column mapping, connect your carrier accounts or choose a fulfilment partner, then rebuild your box and campaign. See the switching guide.
