Frequently asked questions
What people usually want to know before signing up for Flodesk.
Is Flodesk really unlimited?
Yes — unlimited subscribers at $38/mo flat.
What's the catch?
Automations are limited; analytics are shallow.
How is pricing calculated — contacts or sends?
Usually contacts (every email in your list counts). A few tools price on sends, which is friendlier for inactive-heavy lists.
Can I migrate from Mailchimp without losing automations?
Lists and templates import cleanly. Automations have to be rebuilt — budget half a day per complex sequence.
Does it handle transactional email too?
Most ESPs separate transactional from marketing. Expect to pair with Postmark, Resend or an SMTP service for high-volume transactional sends.
Bottom line
Should you use Flodesk?
A compelling flat-fee option for creator/designer newsletters past 10K subs. Deep marketers should pick ActiveCampaign.
