What’s the difference with Pardot Editions?

Posted on 6 Aug 202230 Jul 2022 by Kel Henderson

The difference between Pardot Editions

Let’s cover the elephant in the room. We use the historical term of “Pardot” where it’s now “Marketing Cloud Account Engagement powered by Pardot“. While the new title is probably easier to understand for newbies, it’s harder to easily communicate the underlying product and technical terms, therefore this post simplifies using the term “Pardot“. There are multiple Pardot Editions and this post explains the differences.

The other key term is that Pardot has a “T” sound on the end. It’s a Latvian word so don’t try and make it sound fancy with a French accent. https://thespotforpardot.com/2017/09/19/a-surprisingly-faq-how-do-you-pronounce-pardot/

If you want to learn Pardot, the Pardot Trailhead trails include: Pardot Lightning App Basics, Pardot Email Sending, Pardot Email Marketing, Pardot Engagement Studio for Pardot Lightning App (and many more!)

This article focuses on the functionality however cost is often a key consideration. Pardot Growth usually has a great ROI for those small organisations who use it actively with landing pages, engagement journeys and segmentation. Like all investments, if you don’t use it then it’s not going to provide value. Of all Pardot Editions, Two21 typically recommend learning with Pardot Growth and increasing the functionality as required. ROI is always the most significant factor without our implementation approach.
