Limitations:

• •Free plan caps at 2,500 subscribers . Once you cross that threshold, you jump straight to $43/month (Scale plan). There is no affordable middle tier for creators in the awkward 2,500 to 10,000 subscriber range.
• •No contact tagging by product or purchase . You cannot filter subscribers by what they bought or which course they joined. Everyone is either a free or paid subscriber. If you sell multiple products, this is a real gap.
• •Automation triggers are limited . Compared to ConvertKit or Mailchimp, the automated email sequences you can build are noticeably simpler. Complex multi-step nurture flows require workarounds.
• •Website embed is iframe-only . Adding a signup form to a Webflow or WordPress site means using an iframe, which can slow your page down and looks less polished than a native embed.
• •Built for solo creators, not teams . There is no collaborative workflow for a team managing newsletters together. If more than one person needs to review, approve, and publish, the platform gets clunky fast.
