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: 31 of the 57 other email marketing and newsletter tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers. - You could not: Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Segment, RudderStack and Zapier among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
