Flodesk

Flodesk is an email marketing platform for small businesses, creators and coaches. It combines an email builder with designer templates, signup forms, landing pages, workflow automations and a built-in checkout. The company was founded in 2019, is based in San Francisco and says it has taken no outside funding.

Flodesk prices by active subscribers. At 1,000 subscribers, Lite costs $25 a month billed monthly or $19 a month billed annually, Pro costs $28 or $25, and Everything costs $54 or $49. A 5,000-subscriber list costs $52, $59 and $107 a month on monthly billing. The Free plan is $0 (checked 28 October 2026).

Partly. The Free plan includes unlimited forms, landing pages and link-in-bio pages with no subscriber limit, but it cannot send email. Sending needs a paid plan or the 14-day free trial, which requires no credit card and caps sends at 500 recipients a day (checked 28 October 2026).

Not for new members. On 2 December 2025 Flodesk replaced its flat-rate model with subscriber-based tiers across the Free, Lite, Pro and Everything plans. Members who subscribed before that date keep their legacy plan and should contact support about changes (checked 28 October 2026).

It depends on what you send. Flodesk positions itself on design-led emails with forms, workflows and checkout in one account, with plans from $25 a month for 1,000 subscribers. Mailchimp's pricing page lists a Free plan for up to 250 contacts and 500 sends a month, plus Essentials, Standard and Premium plans. If you need a free plan that sends email, Mailchimp lists one and Flodesk does not (checked 28 October 2026).

Active and soft-bounced subscribers count toward your tier. Unsubscribed, hard-bounced, spam-reported, cleaned and archived contacts do not. Flodesk upgrades your tier automatically when the active count passes the current tier's limit, with notices at 90%, 95% and 100% of the limit. On monthly plans, the change applies at the next billing date; on annual plans upgrades are prorated monthly. Lite accounts that pass 25,000 subscribers move to Pro. Refunds for an auto-upgrade are possible within 30 days if cleaning the list returns you to the previous tier (checked 28 October 2026).

It depends on what you need. If you need a free plan that sends email, MailerLite's pricing page lists a Free plan for up to 250 subscribers with 2,500 monthly emails and email campaigns, and Mailchimp's pricing page lists one for up to 250 contacts; Flodesk's Free plan cannot send email. If you want Flodesk's design-led builder with forms, workflows and checkout in one account, its paid plans start at $25 a month billed monthly ($19 billed annually) for 1,000 subscribers. Flodesk says it is not designed for large enterprises, has no multi-channel suites such as SMS or WhatsApp and is not a full CRM. This page also links ConvertKit and Klaviyo as alternatives but does not compare their prices (checked 28 October 2026).

This page does not list or verify discount or coupon codes. The published ways to pay less are annual billing and a clean list. At 1,000 subscribers, annual billing is $19 a month for Lite, $25 for Pro and $49 for Everything, against $25, $28 and $54 billed monthly. Active and soft-bounced subscribers count toward your tier, and cleaning the list can bring the tier back down. Flodesk's help center says it does not offer additional nonprofit-specific discounts on paid plans (checked 28 October 2026).
