HubSpot email limits hitting us: alternatives?

Posted by Marcus Okoye · · B2B

Posting from the solo team perspective. We have been working through weekly digest and I wanted to compare notes with others in the community.

Context: currently on Brew for sending, evaluating Customer.io for ecommerce. Not looking for sales pitches, just what broke and what held up for you.

      Thanks, this matches what we saw. Will try the auth checklist first.

    Mailchimp is fine if you are not pushing automation depth. We outgrew it around 50k contacts.

    Loops keeps SaaS lifecycle simple. Less flexible than Klaviyo, faster to ship for our stage.

    A/B testing subject lines still matters. AI drafts do not remove the need to measure.

    We verify every AI draft for factual claims. One wrong price in an email teaches you fast.

    Deliverability ops is boring until it is not. Warmup, list hygiene, complaint rates: the basics still win.
