Part of Empowered Founders

NO CARD. NO SALES CALL. BUILT AND RUN BY FOUNDERS.
The orchestrator
Change a step. The graph re-routes and the run happens again.
This is the model the product runs on. A trigger starts the run, waits hold people, conditions split them, sends go out to whoever is standing in that branch. Toggle a step or move the assumption and everything downstream recomputes in front of you.
The open rate below is your assumption, not our claim. What comes back is arithmetic.
Sequence: trigger, then Wait 1 day, Send Welcome, If Opened it, Tag Engaged, Send Second try, Wait 3 days, Send The offer. With an assumed open rate of 40 percent, a cohort of 1,000 subscribers receives 2,600 emails, which is $2.60 at one dollar per thousand sends.
On the bundle, subscribers are unlimited and the $99 does not move. Sends beyond your allowance are billed at $1.00 per 1,000. That is the whole model. Per-contact vendors bill you for people sitting on the list whether you send to them or not.
The bill
The line that does not bend.
Per-contact pricing puts a meter on your audience. Grow the list and the invoice grows with it, whether or not you send anything. Flat pricing charges you for the tool. Drag the cursor and watch our line refuse to move.
Why most of this chart is empty
We publish one competitor price because we verified one: Mailchimp Standard at 10,000 contacts, $135, listed on empoweredfounders.com. Every other point on that line would be a number we made up, so the rest of the band stays blank. A chart is not an argument if you draw the other side yourself.
The surface
Three screens, drawn here so you can see them before you sign up.
These are renderings, built in the browser from the layout the product uses. They are not screenshots and they are not stock art. Where a figure would sit, we left the slot blank rather than filling it with someone else's results.
Short version: the import is faster, the editor stopped fighting you on mobile, and sequences can branch on a tag. Long version below, including the parts that broke and what we did about them
Read the write-upEXAMPLE COPY · PLACEHOLDER, NOT A REAL CAMPAIGN
THE SLOTS ARE EMPTY ON PURPOSE AND THE BARS ARE SHAPE ONLY. THIS IS THE LAYOUT OF THE SCREEN, NOT SOMEBODY ELSE'S NUMBERS DRESSED UP AS YOURS.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC are supported out of the box, on your own sending domain. We will not print a deliverability percentage. A number like that depends on your list and your content, and anyone quoting one is quoting their own best day.
Spec sheet
Two ways to run it. Both of them printed in full.
No tier you have to buy to reach the better feature, no pricing behind an email form, no call. Read the rows and decide.

The stack it replaces
Every price in that column is published on empoweredfounders.com. We did not shop for the flattering number and we are not quoting a plan nobody buys. If a vendor changes their price, that row is wrong until we fix it.
When we add another product to the bundle, the $99 stays $99. That is the point of a bundle. If it went up every time we shipped, it would just be a subscription with extra steps.
Not on the roadmap
Closed as won't build.
Some of these ship somewhere else. None of them are coming here, and saying so now is cheaper for both of us than you finding out in month three.
