Mailchimp alternative

Mailchimp alternative for coaches who write to attract clients, not run campaigns.

Mailchimp became a marketing suite. Coaches need a publishing OS: one place to write, build a blog, deliver lead magnets, and automate client onboarding on one flat fee.

Free up to 500 subscribers.

THE HONEST READ

What coaches pay for that Mailchimp does not ship.

Mailchimp's pricing scales on contact count and feature tier. A coach at 2,000 contacts on the Standard plan pays for a full marketing suite: campaign builder, A/B tests, SMS, and ad integrations built for e-commerce teams, not coaching practices. The features a coach actually needs are missing. No Magic Links: no hosted URL that delivers a free guide, tags the subscriber by coaching interest, and fires a welcome sequence in one step. No native blog at their domain to anchor a Hub. No Notion-style editor built for long-form writing. Mailchimp's Customer Journeys builder handles e-commerce triggers well; it was not designed for coaching sales cycles.

Every line item. No fine print.
