That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 102 of the 102 other email marketing and newsletter tools grade higher. It costs $3,000 a year. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won. - You could not: An API that other software can build on.
