You tried Mailchimp.
It didn't work out.

You're not alone. Mailchimp is built for marketers. You're running a business. Different problems need different solutions.

The Mailchimp experience

You signed up excited to "finally do email marketing."

You saw the dashboard with Campaigns, Automations, Customer Journeys, Audience, Templates, Reports, Integrations...

You spent 45 minutes trying to make a template look right.

A customer walked in. You closed the laptop.

That was 6 months ago. You're still paying $13-20/month.

Sound about right?

To be fair

Mailchimp is a powerful platform. If you have a marketing team, need complex automations, want to A/B test subject lines, and have time to learn the platform, it's great.

Mailchimp is right if you...

  • Have a marketing person on staff
  • Need complex automation flows
  • Want to A/B test everything
  • Have time to learn the platform

Cherub is right if you...

  • Are the owner AND the marketer
  • Just want to send occasional emails
  • Don't have time to learn new software
  • Want someone else to think about it
"I paid for Mailchimp for two years and sent maybe 4 emails. Cherub just tells me when to send and what to say. I've sent more emails in 2 months than I did in 2 years."

Example: 500 subscribers
$3.00 + 400 × $0.01 = $7.00 total
