Flodesk Workflows include multi-trigger marketing automation, real-time instant reactions, advanced audience segmentation with and/or filter logic, split paths with natural rejoin, and behavior-based ecommerce triggers for Shopify and Flodesk Checkout. These are enterprise-grade automation capabilities in an interface any business owner can navigate without a developer. - Flodesk forms: including spin-the-wheel forms, video forms, countdown timer forms, full-page landing pages, and link-in-bio pages — convert at more than 2x the industry average. - Flodesk Checkout lets you sell products, services, subscriptions, and digital goods with zero platform fee, Buy Now Pay Later support (Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay), Apple Pay, Google Pay, one-click upsells, abandoned cart recovery, and automatic sales tax collection. - Every paid plan includes unlimited email sends, with no per-email charges and no feature paywalls.

"Beautiful, Seamless Email Marketing That Just Works — Flodesk"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

As a brand designer, aesthetics matter to me more than most. And Flodesk is honestly the most beautiful email platform I've come across. Setting up workflows, designing emails, building out sequences - none of it ever feels overly technical or complicated. It just works, and it looks good doing it.

I also love that it integrates with Canva too, making it super easy for me to design templates for my clients. It is seamless!

If you're looking for a platform that helps you stay consistent with email marketing without the overwhelm - and one that actually matches your brand - Flodesk is worth trying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

They have recently increased their pricing to match industry standards, but I think it is for good reason and still incredibly worth it for the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past, it was really hard for me to stay consistent with email marketing because writing emails just takes forever. And when you’re using a platform that’s difficult to navigate and makes designing emails feel complicated, it becomes even harder to keep up. Flodesk solves all of that for me. It’s beautiful and super user-friendly, and the templates make it easy for me to simply write my email and have it ready to hit send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless, On-Brand Emails with Flodesk—Plus Streamlined Checkout"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

’ve been using Flodesk since 2019, and it’s one of the few tools I’ve stuck with because it actually makes my life easier.

What I love most is how simple everything feels. I can sit down, write an email, add a few photos, and it already looks clean and on brand. I don’t have to fight with it or spend forever fixing formatting.

It’s really helped me stay consistent too. I set up my welcome emails in one afternoon, and they’ve just been running in the background ever since. And the checkout feature has been such a nice addition. Being able to sell products and services right from my emails makes everything feel more streamlined.

I keep recommending it because it takes something that used to feel like a chore and makes it easy to keep up with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

I would love to be able to create product-specific abandoned cart workflows rather than one all-encompassing workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything in One Place with Beautiful Templates and Incredibly Helpful Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

Everything being in one place, my emails and newsletters, my sign up forms and checkouts…Beautifully simple templates and elements to add — aesthetically my favourite system for my business ;-) And the incredibly helpful support team always more than willing to assist and stay with you until the issue is cleared up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

The checkout templates have limited options—right now, you can only set up one price per checkout. In my business, I offer tiered pricing scales, so this restriction makes it harder to present the different pricing levels the way I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

There was a technical glitch that caused some of my customers to receive error messages when clicking links in my emails. The issue also affected me, even though the links were correctly pasted and were accessible to many people. It took some time to resolve because it wasn’t a straightforward problem to identify or fix, but Flodesk stayed in touch daily for a week while they investigated and ultimately got it sorted.

I also asked for guidance on the best way to set up a sales page and checkout for my membership, since there currently isn’t a feature to offer tiered pricing on a product. That enquiry was handled with care and answered within 24 hours. Finally, I needed my payment date moved, and although they could have simply given me instructions to do it myself, Flodesk took care of it and supported me until it was completed. They did this without interfering with my systems and, in my opinion, went above and beyond to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean, Customizable Templates with Handwriting-Like Fonts, Great Customer Service"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

I first like that it is a woman owned business and I like the clean look and easy to customize templates, with a variety of fonts that even looks similar to my own handwriting. I am also impressed with their friendly service. My account was briefly suspended due to a change in my banking, any other cooperation would have me re-join at their current plans rate. At Flodesk they value their loyal customers and they re-instated my account at the founders rate! How wonderful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

There is a lot that I love but I would love more templates geared towards the artisan selling wares online versus the ones geared more towards coaching or digital content I also dislike that I currently can’t make any quick edits on my mobile phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beautiful, intuitive, and built to convert"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

Intuitive, beautiful, converts to sales.

So easy to use for absolute beginners, but has customisation for advanced designers and business.

My conversions - delivery, opens, clicks, sales are always excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

Nothing - love it all! This is one of my most used business tools; so it needs to work. And it does! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

My emails are aligned with business and brand feel, without constant need to update or edit things. This makes it easy to get the writing done, to land in boxes (which Flodesk does well!), and to get engagement from my audience.

Across all my platforms I want my newsletters to feel aligned - Flodesk makes this so easy to do.

Their dedication to small business shows in the features they offer, but also the help and guidance that's available - this has given me email marketing insights I'd normally never have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flodesk: Easy-to-Use Email Marketing with Helpful Support and 99.6%+ Deliverability"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

The team are really helpful and great at crowdsourcing ideas of how to better their platform. I have been using Flodesk since early 2021 and love seeing what new features we're getting. I use the platform almost every day for email marketing for my small business, and have sent over 1 million emails using the platform! Over those emails my deliverability has never fallen below 99.6%. I love that we can now integrate directly with more platforms as I use Thrivecart for a lot of my online checkouts. The email platform is one of the easiest to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

I'm a data nerd so I would love more analytics, or the ability to use more data points via the API to build my own in-business apps for email marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flodesk Makes Email Marketing Simple with Polished, Easy-to-Design Emails"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

Flodesk makes email marketing feel simple and doable. The design side is easy to use, and the emails look polished without a lot of effort. I can create workflows quickly and stay consistent without getting stuck in tech. The pricing model is straightforward, which makes planning easier as my list grows. Customer service has also been excellent, with fast, helpful responses whenever I have a question or hit a snag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

There are limitations on the automation and segmentation side compared to more advanced platforms. As your strategy gets more complex, you may find yourself working around the system instead of with it. Reporting is also fairly basic, so if you rely on deeper data to guide decisions, you will need additional tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flodesk solves the problem of overcomplicated email marketing tools. I don’t have to spend hours figuring out systems or troubleshooting tech. I can create, schedule, and automate emails quickly, which keeps my marketing consistent without draining my time.

It also removes the friction around design. I can produce emails that look professional and on-brand without needing a designer. That helps me show up consistently and maintain a strong brand presence.

Overall, it saves time, reduces frustration, and makes it easier to stay visible and connected with my audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Email Marketing with Stunning Design"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

I really like the design quality of Flodesk. It lets me create gorgeous, on-brand emails that truly reflect my identity with my fonts, colours, and identity in mind. While many treat branding as an afterthought, Flodesk builds everything around it. Beyond aesthetics, I appreciate the combination of simplicity and capability. The automation, segmentation, and workflow tools are generally very powerful, yet the platform is intuitive enough for my clients to grasp independently after just a one-hour training session. I also love that Flodesk is built with small businesses in mind, and you can feel that consideration in every design decision they've made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

The native integrations are still growing. There are a few tools I regularly use where I use Zapier rather than connecting directly. It works but a more native integration library would make the workflow even smoother than it already is. I'd also love to see AB testing for campaigns as a standalone feature.

"Beautiful, user-friendly email marketing platform for small businesses"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

What I like best about Flodesk is how easy it is to create emails and opt-in forms that look polished and on-brand without needing a complicated setup. As a website designer, visuals matter a lot to me, and Flodesk makes it simple to create a cohesive experience between a client’s website and their email marketing. It’s also very user-friendly, which makes it easier for me to recommend to small business owners who want something effective without feeling overwhelmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

One downside is that, depending on what a business needs, some users may want more advanced features or flexibility in certain areas. For business owners who want something very robust or highly customized, there can be a bit of a learning curve in figuring out workarounds. That said, for many small business owners, the ease of use and design experience outweigh that for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flodesk helps solve the problem of email marketing feeling overly technical or time-consuming. It allows me to create professional-looking emails, forms, and workflows more efficiently, which saves time in my own business and helps me better support my clients. It has also helped me create a more polished customer experience and has supported the growth of my template shop and email marketing services! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flodesk Makes Email, Workflows, and Checkout Effortlessly Seamless"

5/5

What do you like best about Flodesk?

I’ve used Flodesk since the very beginning and it is the only email software I recommend! The ease of use, the layout, the back end workflows and functions… and now the checkout feature have made it to where I have all of my business running through this one platform!

I launched my very first digital product last month and promoted it to a brand new IG audience of less than 200… I’ve had 30 sales so far!! The checkout function has been soooooo smooth and simple and I’ve been able to tweak and change things as needed.

Their university section has made every single question I’ve had solvable in minutes, and the new integrations they keep adding make running my business seamless. I mean, hellllo Manychat! I didn’t even realize I needed that integration!

I could not recommend this platform more - if you want utter simplicity + professional design aspects and customizable workflow features (with absolutely killer customer support) this is for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

Honestly nothing. I’ve been with them from the beginning and share them with my friends! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
