Feedblitz is an older platform built around automation and eCommerce support for businesses.
While it purports to be fairly full-featured and supports drip campaigns and automated sequences, it lacks many critical features such as detailed analytics, archives, and a modern API. Moreover, it’s a tough choice if your goal is to have a newsletter platform that you can onboard to quickly.
(Don’t believe me? Spend ten minutes signing up to Buttondown and writing your first newsletter, and then see how far you get after ten minutes in Feedblitz.)
Furthermore, Feedblitz’s pricing is fairly prohibitive for what you get. If you’re a newsletter with five thousand subscribers, you’d be spending $69/month with them — as opposed to $25/month with Buttondown.
