You’re a writer. You need an email list. If you simply write a newsletter, it’s easy. Choose Substack or Revue. If you want more, like email automations, marketing functionality, and integrations, you need something like ConvertKit. That gets expensive.

Here are my favorite alternatives for ConvertKit (contains affiliate links, marked with *):

1. The beauty: Flodesk* is a simple and beautiful email marketing service, best-suited for easy automations, gorgeous marketing mails, and simple segmentation. It’s $38 per month. With my link, you get 50% off*.
2. The underrated: Automation capability paired with an easy-to-use interface, amazing support & a rich feature set for a competitive price. That’s EmailOctopus*. Free for 2500 contacts, highly affordable beyond that.
3. The all-in-one: Even more features than ConvertKit, complex automation structures, A/B testing, SMS marketing. You get that & more with Omnisend*. Similar pricing to ConvertKit.
