The first is still true. The second isn\u2019t. Flodesk now prices by subscriber count. Pro is $28\/month at 1,000 subscribers, $59 at 5,000 and $79 at 10,000 on monthly billing, and the cheaper Lite plan limits you to one workflow. If you joined for the flat price, your bill has probably started climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We compared eight Flodesk alternatives on three things Flodesk users care about: <strong>design quality<\/strong>, <strong>automation and segmentation depth<\/strong>, and <strong>price at 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 subscribers<\/strong>. Our pick for most small businesses and creators is <strong>Mailercloud<\/strong>. It\u2019s free for 1,000 contacts, then $10\/month for 5,000 with unlimited sends, and has a drag-and-drop builder, template gallery and visual automation. If you sell products or paid newsletters straight from your emails, Kit and beehiiv are closer to Flodesk\u2019s checkout, and we say where each one wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff; border-left:4px solid #2B5CE6; padding:14px 20px; border-radius:0 6px 6px 0; margin:22px 0;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0; font-size:15px; color:#2d3748; line-height:1.65;\"><strong>Quick Answer:<\/strong> <strong>Mailercloud is the best Flodesk alternative in 2026<\/strong>. It&#8217;s free for 1,000 contacts and $10\/month for 5,000 with unlimited sends (Flodesk Pro: $59 at 5,000), with a drag-and-drop builder, template gallery and visual automation. The other top alternatives are <strong>MailerLite, Kit, Mailchimp, beehiiv, Brevo, Sender and EmailOctopus<\/strong>. Kit and beehiiv are best for selling from your emails, and MailerLite is closest to Flodesk&#8217;s minimal design feel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/flodesk-alternatives\/#Why_People_Switch_From_Flodesk\" >Why People Switch From Flodesk<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/flodesk-alternatives\/#How_We_Chose_These_Alternatives\" >How We Chose These Alternatives<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/flodesk-alternatives\/#Flodesk_Alternatives_at_a_Glance\" >Flodesk Alternatives at a Glance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/flodesk-alternatives\/#1_Mailercloud_%E2%80%94_Best_Overall_Flodesk_Alternative\" >1.

The visual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/features\/email-automation\/\">automation builder<\/a> runs welcome series, nurture sequences and re-engagement. Premium includes 25 advanced automations, where Flodesk Lite allows one workflow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/features\/segmentation\/\">Segmentation<\/a> goes beyond tags to behaviour and engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price difference is the headline. Mailercloud is free for 1,000 contacts and 12,000 emails a month. Premium is $10\/month for 5,000 contacts with unlimited sends, against $59 on Flodesk Pro. At 10,000 contacts it\u2019s $50 against $79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not a like-for-like swap. Flodesk\u2019s templates are more &#8220;boutique&#8221;. Mailercloud\u2019s are clean and professional rather than editorial. Mailercloud has no built-in checkout, so you\u2019d sell through Shopify, WooCommerce or a payment link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drag-and-drop builder, template gallery and custom HTML editor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual automation builder (25 advanced automations on Premium)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Behaviour and engagement segmentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\/B testing, AI subject lines and AMP email on Premium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signup form builder, Inbox Tracker and built-in email verifier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento integrations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>Mailercloud Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>$10\/month for 5,000 contacts with unlimited sends (Flodesk Pro: $59); $50 at 10,000 (Flodesk Pro: $79)<\/li>\n    <li>Free plan that actually sends: 1,000 contacts, 12,000 emails a month<\/li>\n    <li>Drag-and-drop builder and template gallery for clean, mobile-first designs<\/li>\n    <li>Visual automation builder: 25 advanced automations on Premium<\/li>\n    <li>Behaviour and engagement segmentation, A\/B testing, AI subject lines on Premium<\/li>\n    <li>Inbox Tracker and a built-in email verifier for deliverability<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>Mailercloud Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Templates are clean rather than Flodesk-level &#8220;boutique&#8221;<\/li>\n    <li>No built-in checkout; sell through Shopify, WooCommerce or payment links<\/li>\n    <li>Smaller integration library than Mailchimp<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free for 1,000 contacts; Premium from <strong>$10\/month<\/strong> for 5,000 contacts (30% off annually).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/pricing\/?source=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=alternatives_flodesk\">Free for 1,000 contacts; Premium from $10\/month for 5,000 contacts<\/a>, unlimited sends, 30% off annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Small businesses, coaches and service brands paying Flodesk for sends and wanting stronger automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:14px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #d6e4f5;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:10px;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;\">\n  <div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;flex:1 1 320px;\"><p style=\"margin:0;font-size:14.5px;color:#2d3748;line-height:1.5;\"><strong>Try Mailercloud free<\/strong> &mdash; drag-and-drop builder, visual automation and 1,000 contacts free.

Its editor is clean and minimal, the templates are attractive, and it adds a landing page builder, a full website builder, signup forms and popups. If you like how Flodesk &#8220;gets out of the way&#8221;, MailerLite will feel familiar within an afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where it pulls ahead is depth. The Growing Business plan includes 50 automations with a visual workflow builder, segmentation on behaviour and fields, A\/B testing, an AI writing assistant, and a large library of native integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress and more). Flodesk leans on Zapier for most of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The saving over Flodesk is smaller than you might expect. MailerLite costs $20\/month at 1,000 subscribers, $50 at 5,000 and $80 at 10,000 on monthly billing, only a little below Flodesk Pro. And the free plan has shrunk to 250 subscribers and 2,500 emails a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minimal drag-and-drop editor and polished templates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Landing pages, website builder, forms and popups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>50 automations with a visual builder on Growing Business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>MailerLite Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Closest to Flodesk\u2019s clean, minimal feel<\/li>\n    <li>Landing pages and a website builder included<\/li>\n    <li>Much deeper automation and segmentation than Flodesk Lite<\/li>\n    <li>Large native integration library<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>MailerLite Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>$50\/month at 5,000 subscribers, only $9 below Flodesk Pro<\/li>\n    <li>Free plan limited to 250 subscribers<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Growing Business from <strong>$12\/month<\/strong> (500 subscribers); $20 at 1,000; $50 at 5,000; $80 at 10,000 (10% off annually).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Users who want Flodesk\u2019s simplicity with deeper features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3-kit-convertkit-best-for-creators-selling-products\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Kit_ConvertKit_%E2%80%94_Best_for_Creators_Selling_Products\"><\/span>3.

It has digital product and subscription sales, paid newsletters, tip jars, and the Creator Network, which recommends your newsletter to other creators\u2019 audiences and grows your list. For Flodesk users who rely on Flodesk Checkout, Kit is the most complete replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automation is a real strength. Visual automations branch on tags, purchases and link clicks, and sequences are easy to build. The free Newsletter plan covers up to 10,000 subscribers for broadcasts, very generous for growing lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The emails themselves look plainer than Flodesk\u2019s. That\u2019s deliberate; Kit favours simple, text-led designs. And paid plans are expensive: Creator starts at $33\/month at 1,000 subscribers, and Creator Pro at $66.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Digital products, paid newsletters and subscriptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creator Network recommendations for list growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual automations and sequences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free plan up to 10,000 subscribers (broadcasts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>Kit Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Best built-in commerce for creators, replacing Flodesk Checkout<\/li>\n    <li>Creator Network helps grow your list<\/li>\n    <li>Free up to 10,000 subscribers for broadcasts<\/li>\n    <li>Strong visual automations<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>Kit Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Paid plans are pricey: $33\/month at 1,000 subscribers<\/li>\n    <li>Templates are simple by design, far less &#8220;designed&#8221; than Flodesk<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free up to 10,000 subscribers; Creator from <strong>$33\/month<\/strong>; Creator Pro from $66\/month (at 1,000 subscribers).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Creators whose email list is their shop.

It won most of the functional rounds in our Flodesk comparison: automation (Customer Journeys), segmentation, A\/B and multivariate testing (up to 8 combinations on Premium), reporting, and the widest integration ecosystem in email marketing at 300+ native connections. If your booking tool, store or CRM connects to only one email platform, it\u2019s usually Mailchimp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The editor is capable, with plenty of templates, though busier than Flodesk\u2019s. The real cost is price growth. Mailchimp\u2019s plans start at $13\/month (Essentials) or $20 (Standard) at 500 contacts but climb steeply as your audience grows. Unsubscribed contacts count towards your bill unless you archive them. The free plan covers only 250 contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>300+ native integrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer Journeys automation builder (Standard and above)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\/B and multivariate testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detailed reporting and predictive segments on higher plans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>Mailchimp Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Widest integration ecosystem in the category<\/li>\n    <li>Strong automation, testing and reporting<\/li>\n    <li>Familiar, well-documented platform<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>Mailchimp Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Price climbs steeply with list size<\/li>\n    <li>Free plan limited to 250 contacts<\/li>\n    <li>Busier editor than Flodesk<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free up to 250 contacts; Essentials from <strong>$13\/month<\/strong>; Standard from $20\/month (both at 500 contacts).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Businesses whose other tools already connect to Mailchimp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"5-beehiiv-best-for-newsletter-businesses\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_beehiiv_%E2%80%94_Best_for_Newsletter_Businesses\"><\/span>5. beehiiv \u2014 Best for Newsletter Businesses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Beehiiv-edited-scaled.png\" alt=\"Beehiiv\" class=\"wp-image-6072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Beehiiv-edited-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Beehiiv-edited-150x73.png 150w, https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Beehiiv-edited-768x376.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Beehiiv-edited-1536x752.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Beehiiv-edited-2048x1003.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you mostly use Flodesk to send a newsletter, beehiiv is built for exactly that. It includes a referral programme (rewards for subscribers who share), the beehiiv Ad Network (brands pay to sponsor your newsletter), paid subscriptions with 0% platform fees, and a hosted website with SEO-friendly archive pages. Few platforms give a newsletter as many ways to grow and earn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The editor is modern and fast, though more template-bound than Flodesk\u2019s free-form designs. Automations cover welcome and nurture sequences. The free Launch plan covers up to 2,500 subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growth features cost money. On beehiiv\u2019s pricing page, Scale is $49\/month at 1,000 subscribers ($43 billed annually) and $109 at 10,000. Branding removal and dynamic content need Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Referral programme and Ad Network<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paid subscriptions with 0% platform fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hosted website with SEO-friendly archives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free plan up to 2,500 subscribers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>beehiiv Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Best growth and monetisation tools for newsletters<\/li>\n    <li>0% fee on paid subscriptions<\/li>\n    <li>Free up to 2,500 subscribers<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>beehiiv Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Scale costs $49\/month at 1,000 subscribers, more than Flodesk Pro<\/li>\n    <li>Less design freedom than Flodesk<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free up to 2,500 subscribers; Scale from <strong>$49\/month<\/strong> ($43 annually), $109 at 10,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Writers turning a newsletter into a business.

That suits service businesses, such as salons, studios, coaches and clinics, that send appointment reminders by text and marketing by email and want both in one tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contacts are unlimited on every Brevo plan, so a big list you mail monthly stays cheap: Starter begins around $9\/month for 5,000 emails. The editor is functional rather than beautiful; it won\u2019t match Flodesk\u2019s design polish. The free plan allows 300 emails a day. Advanced automation and A\/B testing sit on higher tiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Email, SMS and WhatsApp in one account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited contacts; pay by email volume<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in CRM and live chat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free plan: 300 emails a day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>Brevo Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Email and SMS together, useful for appointment-based businesses<\/li>\n    <li>Unlimited contacts on every plan<\/li>\n    <li>Built-in CRM<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>Brevo Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Free plan capped at 300 emails a day<\/li>\n    <li>Editor is functional rather than beautiful<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free with 300 emails\/day; Starter from around <strong>$9\/month<\/strong> for 5,000 emails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Service businesses that want email and SMS in one tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"7-sender-best-free-plan-for-growing-lists\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Sender_%E2%80%94_Best_Free_Plan_for_Growing_Lists\"><\/span>7.

Even on free you get a drag-and-drop builder with good-looking templates, popups and signup forms, and automation. That makes it a strong landing spot for small Flodesk users who want to stop paying for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paid plans are low-cost and add SMS on Standard and above, plus a dedicated IP on large Professional plans. The trade-off is scale and ecosystem. Sender is a smaller company with fewer integrations than MailerLite or Mailchimp, and less third-party support content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free plan: 2,500 subscribers, 15,000 emails a month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag-and-drop builder, popups and forms on every plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automation and segmentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SMS on paid plans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>Sender Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>One of the largest free plans available<\/li>\n    <li>Popups and forms included free<\/li>\n    <li>Low-cost paid plans with SMS<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>Sender Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Smaller company with fewer integrations<\/li>\n    <li>Less design polish than Flodesk<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free up to 2,500 subscribers and 15,000 emails; paid plans scale with list size (30% off annually).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> New lists that want to send free for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"8-emailoctopus-best-simple-low-cost-newsletter-tool\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_EmailOctopus_%E2%80%94_Best_Simple_Low-Cost_Newsletter_Tool\"><\/span>8.

You get a clean editor, templates, forms, landing pages and simple automation sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On free, emails carry EmailOctopus branding, reports are kept for 30 days, and you\u2019re limited to one landing page, one form and one user.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people leaving Flodesk don\u2019t want uglier emails. They want the business behind the emails to work harder. We\u2019d suggest a simple test before you switch. Rebuild your two best-performing Flodesk emails in the new tool\u2019s editor. If they look 90% as good, move. The automation, segmentation and savings will outweigh the last 10% of polish. Save your brand fonts, colours and a header image as a reusable template on day one, so every campaign starts on-brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then put the savings to work. Build the three automations Flodesk Lite wouldn\u2019t let you run together: a welcome series, a post-purchase or post-enquiry follow-up, and a 90-day re-engagement flow. Pair them with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/features\/web-form-builder\/\">signup form<\/a> that promises something specific rather than &#8220;join my newsletter&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-move-from-flodesk\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Move_From_Flodesk\"><\/span>How to Move From Flodesk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Export subscribers<\/strong> from Flodesk (Audience \u2192 export) with segments as columns, and export unsubscribes separately so you stay compliant with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/business-guidance\/resources\/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">CAN-SPAM<\/a>.

It\u2019s free for 1,000 contacts, $10\/month for 5,000 with unlimited sends (Flodesk Pro: $59), and has a drag-and-drop builder, templates and visual automation. <strong>Kit<\/strong> is best for creators selling products, <strong>beehiiv<\/strong> for newsletter businesses and <strong>MailerLite<\/strong> for a similar minimal design feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-flodesk-still-flat-rate-pricing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Flodesk still flat-rate pricing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No. Flodesk now prices by active subscriber count.<\/strong> Pro costs $28\/month at 1,000 subscribers, $59 at 5,000 and $79 at 10,000 on monthly billing, and Lite is capped at 25,000 subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-there-a-free-alternative-to-flodesk\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a free alternative to Flodesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes. Mailercloud (1,000 contacts, 12,000 emails a month), Sender (2,500 subscribers), EmailOctopus (2,500), beehiiv (2,500) and Kit (10,000, broadcasts only) all let you send on a free plan.<\/strong> Flodesk\u2019s free plan doesn\u2019t include email sending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-cheaper-than-flodesk\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is cheaper than Flodesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mailercloud is the cheapest full-featured Flodesk alternative at $10\/month for 5,000 contacts, against $59 on Flodesk Pro.<\/strong> Sender and EmailOctopus are also cheaper, with simpler features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"which-flodesk-alternative-has-the-best-looking-templates\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Flodesk alternative has the best-looking templates?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MailerLite and Mailercloud come closest to Flodesk\u2019s clean, minimal style with drag-and-drop editors and template galleries.<\/strong> No mainstream tool fully matches Flodesk\u2019s editorial look. Saving a branded master template gets you most of the way there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"can-i-sell-products-without-flodesk-checkout\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I sell products without Flodesk Checkout?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes. Kit and beehiiv have built-in selling, and Mailercloud works alongside Shopify, WooCommerce or any payment link.<\/strong> Mailercloud itself doesn\u2019t include a checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-verdict\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Verdict\"><\/span>Final Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flodesk is still the prettiest way to send email. It\u2019s no longer the cheapest, and its automation hasn\u2019t kept up with its prices. <strong>Mailercloud<\/strong> keeps the design side good enough for most brands, adds the automation and segmentation Flodesk lacks, and costs $10\/month where Flodesk charges $59. Pick Kit or beehiiv if selling from your emails matters most, and MailerLite if you want the closest match to Flodesk\u2019s minimal feel.
