The Problem

Why teams leave Mailchimp

Free tier gutted — 500 contacts with Mailchimp branding

Contact-based pricing makes scaling expensive

Advanced automation only on Standard/Premium plans

Post-Intuit acquisition price increases

Limited A/B testing on lower tiers

Pay for unsubscribed contacts unless manually cleaned

What We Build Instead

Your custom marketing tool

Email marketing platform with unlimited contacts and sends

Drag-and-drop email builder with your templates

Automation workflows with advanced segmentation

A/B and multivariate testing on every campaign

Analytics dashboard with revenue attribution

No branding — it's your platform
