Reviewer scorecard
“Over-engineered for most use cases. The API exists but Buffer or direct APIs are simpler for automations.”
“API is well-documented and webhooks work reliably. Easy to integrate with any stack for transactional + marketing email.”
“Killed the free tier, jacked up prices, and the UI feels stuck in 2018. Buffer or Sprout Social are better options now.”
“Pricing scales terribly. At 10k+ contacts, you're paying a premium for a UI when cheaper alternatives exist.”
“The complexity isn't justified for most creators. Buffer does 80% of what Hootsuite does at 10% of the price.”
“Template builder and drag-and-drop editor are intuitive. Customer journey builder makes automation accessible.”
