What Flodesk is
Flodesk is an email marketing platform. It is for creators, small businesses and people who do not think of themselves as designers.
A newsletter operator can build emails in its editor, which has custom fonts, brand colors, countdown timers and embedded polls. It also has opt-in forms, link-in-bio forms and workflows such as welcome series.
Paid plans are priced by the number of active subscribers. The higher plan adds sales funnels, checkouts and subscriptions for selling products and memberships.
