Flodesk Pricing Overview

- incredibly aesthetic inside the platform. Previously, I was designing our newsletter on Canva and uploading to Mailchimp, which took me entirely too long to format and size correctly. Not to mention the pain of linking to other web pages or PDFS - you can embed your own photos, or it connects directly to unsplash for free - The reporting and metrics are top-notch -you can host your PDF file directly in Flodesk, previously I uploaded it to Google Drive, making the link public, and then pasted that into the newsletter - segments and audience types are easily color coordinated and you can tell who is included in what audience at a glance - One of my favorite features, lead capture forms included - but the BEST part : everything is included in one price! It’s incredibly affordable, and if you use the link above, you get 50% off your first year, which is truly unbeatable to not try it

Honestly, I haven’t found many things to NOT Like. -You can send from two different email addresses in one account, I do wish there was the option to add more email addresses under the same account. - There’s no app, so I have to open it from Safari on my phone. - it’s not spam-friendly, so I don’t load bulk lists of random people you've never connected with, or random lists into the system. They will flag you as spam very fast and kick you off the platform.I have an audience of about 5K in the platform now

I really love the intuitive set up because I have had so many tech challenges with the free platform I was using before. With Flodesk I was able to figure out my first opt-in page and my workflow within 3 hours. The customer service care is also excellent.

The downside was the pricing which I did find slightly high for my stage of business but it's well worth it for how easy and inviting it is to use the platform.

It's so much easier than the other platform I used previously. It's easier to make my emails beautiful and to set up a workflow, making me want to connect with my audience more regularly than before.

Simple, intuitive, affordable, very beautiful software. I love using Flodesk for my email newsletters! The templates are beautiful, they just released extremely robust analytics (that blew my Mailchimp account away), and it's very easy to use, even for baby beginners like me. When they added custom fields to their forms feature, I was able to start personalizing my emails which has increased my engagement rate quite a bit. I don't miss most of the features I used to have with Mailchimp because the pricing is comparatively low. I also use Checkout for selling a few of my design templates. I've made thousands in sales in just a few weeks, so that makes me a happy camper!

I would love to be able to connect more services to Flodesk without needing something like Zapier. They currently have limited integrations so I use Zapier for triggering emails from my online shop. It would be nice if there were more integrations included with my Flodesk subscription.

My Mailchimp email marketing used to be the biggest pain point in my business. My emails were ugly and they took me hours to put together. I dreaded sending email campaigns. Now, with Flodesk, it takes me only minutes to send out emails I'm proud of. I've even gotten quite a few replies from my subscribers over the years saying how much they love the look of my emails! I never thought I'd say it's fun to create emails, forms, and online sales funnels, but it is now thanks to Flodesk.

These are easy to make attractive and keep track of the stats. It's simple and straightforward. Plus, the pricing is super fair.

There's a lack of robust tracking features. I wish it had a little more in the way of tagging clients in more ways and showing more percentages of open and specific click rates.

It garners attention from my list due to the beauty of the features. It's super easy to use so I'm inspired to use it more often. And the dashboard is easy to keep organized.

Super simple drag and drop functionality but still customizable.

Cost is typically a bit pricey BUT the price never goes up with number of contacts or emails sent.

Sending weekly email newsletters with Flowdesk. Easy to embed email signups on website and on landing pages.

The layouts are gorgeous. I primarily switched to Flodesk from another mailing list provider because of the layouts and overall smooth look Flodesk offers. The aesthetics also focus on simple but elegant styles you might associate with fashion/beauty IG influencers. The price also can't be beat. I'm paying a fraction of what I paid with my previous mailing list provider, and the newsletter building features and visuals are top notch and better by far. I also appreciate that Flodesk doesn't limit you to small image sizes like some other providers. It was such a hassle to have to reduce file sizes on others, and Flodesk doesn't have that problem.

There are some issues that I wish Flodesk would focus on. First, I wish image sizes were more customizable. The templates only offer you a few image sizes, which means oftentimes parts of them will be cut off because there's no perfect dimensions. I wish the reports were more robust with a lot more options. Coming from Mailerlite, what you can see in the Flodesk reports is very limited. Drip campaigns / Onboarding sequences is another area that doesn't quite meet other services I've tried. I'd like to be able to create different onboarding sequences and branches so that I don't need a second mailing list provider for that and can just use Flodesk on its own. My one other concern is that their FB group can be insensitive to users posting issues. Our industry is kind of a small community in that word of mouth spreads widely and quickly, and that is not the kind of reputation you want.

Flodesk has really simplified newsletter drafting, saving me a lot of time I can spend elsewhere, and it looks really professional and visually appealing even when I just use basic templates. The cost savings have also been significant, and despite the drawbacks above keep me with Flodesk.

The price for Flodesk is super hard to beat. It is an extremely affordable option for small start-ups. Easy to get started and implement an email marketing plan.

The options are Flodesk are pretty limited. It can make email marketing not as efficient as other platforms.

Flodesk solves email marketing and reaching customers. It allows you to reach your customers and design engaging emails.

It's super easy to use. Absolutely stunning templates. The price is right. You get unlimited subscribers and the price doesn't increase like with most email marketing platforms.

It just came out of beta (was in beta for a LONG time). It can be glitchy sometimes. The support isn't the best I've seen with taking too long to respond or giving canned responses. It's not as intuitive or robust as platforms like Active Campaign and doesn't have all the measuring and analytics I would really like to have. Also, it can be difficult sometimes to upload your list(s) because they have a verification process to go through.

It's simple. It's quick. It's visually appealing. Benefits are saving money because of the cost but also not having the price raised as my list grows.
