The Pros and Cons of Mailchimp vs Flodesk

After previously using Mailchimp, and then Convertkit for my email marketing, I’m now totally converted and have made the switch to Flodesk. Why?

Check out this video for an in-depth breakdown of the pros and cons, and an introduction into Flodesk as a company.

Want the three key highlights?

#1: Flodesk offers fixed pricing

As your list of email subscribers grows, the price you pay for software like Mailchimp or Convertkit goes up exponentially. At one point when I had 10,000 subscribers, I was paying over £150 per month for email marketing software! Meanwhile, Flodesk offers a fixed price no matter how many subscribers you have. You could have 1,000 or 100,000 and you’d still be paying the same! It costs $38USD per month, but you can get 50% off for your first year with my affiliate sign up link 🎉

#2: Flodesk is a total dream to use

Flodesk’s dashboard has been designed with creative, visual people in mind, and is very intuitive to use. I’ve found that other email marketing platforms can seem quite clunky and technical to use, and the amount of information on each page can be overwhelming. Meanwhile Flodesk is sleek and simple, and their pre-designed templates (that you can tweak to your hearts content!) are created in a drag and drop editor and look amazing on desktop and mobile.

#3: Flodesk integrates smoothly with any website

Both with using Squarespace and WordPress websites to connect to Mailchimp in the past, I’ve had a lot of issues with connectivity and integration with third party sign up form plugins. But you don’t need to worry about this with Flodesk, because you create all the sign up forms within Flodesk itself, and embed them onto the website with a snippet of code, that’s easy to do on all website platforms.

Already got an email list in Mailchimp? No problem!

It’s incredibly easy to move your email subscriber list over to Flodesk from any email marketing platform. They all follow the same process, so if you use something other than Mailchimp, you’ll probably find this tutorial helpful anyway.

Integrating Flodesk with Squarespace is easy!

Because you set up and design all your email sign up forms within Flodesk, it’s easy to embed them anywhere onto any website platform.

As a Squarespace designer, I made this tutorial to show you how to do set them up on Squarespace, but the process is pretty much the same for every website platform.

Setting up sign up forms this way means you’re way less likely to have connectivity issues, which I know a lot of people experience when trying to connect Mailchimp to their Squarespace forms.

Flodesk makes it easy to grow your email list!

You don’t even need your own website to start building an email list with Flodesk… you can create sign up form landing pages straight from within Flodesk, or even your own ‘link in bio’ page to use as your Instagram profile link.

Of course, if you do have your own website, Flodesk makes it easy to connect to any website platform too (as mentioned above!).
