Why teams leave
Why marketing teams are leaving MailerLite
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
Subscriber billing punishes growth
MailerLite charges $13 to $65/mo for 1,000 to 10,000 subscribers, every stored contact, engaged or not. An engaged list of 5,000 costs the same as a disengaged one.
Email only, no other channels
There is no SMS channel, no push notification channel, and no in-app messaging. Every channel outside email requires a separate tool, a separate subscription, and a manual sync.
No behavioral or product triggers
Automation triggers are limited to email events, opens, clicks, and form submits. There is no way to trigger a journey based on a product event, a purchase milestone, or a predictive score.

Blu AI
What Blu does that MailerLite can't
Reads your data and acts on it
MailerLite waits for you to build the automation. Blu analyses your customer behaviour in real time and suggests the next GTM action, which segment to target, which journey to trigger, and which message to send. You stop guessing and start moving.
Runs campaigns without a brief
With MailerLite, someone still has to write the brief, build the flow, and QA the send. Blu drafts campaign copy, builds audience segments, and personalises experiences from your live customer data with no manual creative overhead.
Connects context to execution automatically
MailerLite sends emails. Intempt runs motions. When a user hits an activation event, visits pricing three times, or goes quiet for 14 days, Blu detects it and responds without waiting for someone to notice it in a dashboard.
Switching from MailerLite is easier than you think
Most teams are fully migrated and live within a week.

What our customers have to say
“We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.”
Jim Stromberg, CEO
StockInvest
Case Study
StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.
