What it does
Email marketing and marketing-automation platform with CRM, AI (Active Intelligence), segmentation, and 900+ integrations for SMBs.
Strong fit
SMBs wanting powerful multi-step automations, A/B testing, and a built-in CRM at a low entry price ($15/mo for 1,000 contacts).
Poor fit
Not for teams needing a truly free plan or dead-simple newsletters only, the automation builder is overkill and pricing scales with contacts and higher tiers.
Limitations
No free plan (14-day trial only). Starter tier limits: 1 user, 5 actions per automation, limited segmentation, email sends capped at 10x contact limit, AI limits apply.
Verified facts
No free plan. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Starter: $15/month for 1,000 contacts. CRM, multi-step automation (5 actions/automation), email sends 10x contact limit, AI features with limits, 1 user.
