Beyond email broadcasting

Intempt adds SMS, push, in-app, and web personalization to your email, all on the same customer profile. One platform, every channel, no third-party integrations or extra vendor contracts.

A real CDP, no extra cost

MailerLite stores an email address. Intempt builds a full behavioral profile from page views, product events, and purchase history, all triggering your journeys automatically from day one.

Active users billed, not all contacts

MailerLite bills every subscriber in your list. Intempt bills only monthly active users. A list of 50,000 with 5,000 active costs $109, not the $350 MailerLite would charge you.

Why Teams Switch from MailerLite

MailerLite is an email broadcasting platform. It sends newsletters and drip sequences well, but there is no CDP, no behavioral event tracking, and no way to trigger campaigns based on product activity.

Subscriber billing means you pay for every contact in your list whether they open emails, make purchases, or have gone silent for two years. An engaged list of 5,000 costs the same as a disengaged list of 5,000.

There is no SMS channel, no push notification channel, and no in-app messaging. Every channel outside email requires a separate tool, a separate subscription, and a manual sync.

Automation triggers are limited to email events. opens, clicks, and form submits. There is no way to trigger a journey based on a product event, a purchase milestone, or a predictive score.

Analytics are limited to email performance: opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes. There is no funnel analysis, no LTV tracking, and no revenue attribution report.

Growing beyond 10,000 to 50,000 subscribers brings significant MailerLite pricing increases with no additional capabilities, forcing teams to evaluate a platform switch anyway.

What Makes Intempt Different

More than a replacement — a platform built differently from the ground up.

Web experiments MailerLite cannot run

MailerLite A/B tests email subject lines only. Intempt runs full-site web experiments, multivariate tests, and journey-level experiments that actually optimize conversion rates.

Revenue analytics, not just open rates

MailerLite shows opens and clicks. Intempt tracks funnel conversion, cohort LTV, and revenue attribution, connecting campaigns to outcomes that matter to your business.

AI-powered campaigns from day one

Nine AI assistants draft campaign copy, generate personalization rules, build behavioral segments, and optimize journeys, replacing the manual work in every campaign launch.

Real results, not just tech

We drive measurable outcomes in the first 90 days. Beyond the platform.

We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.

Case Study

StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.
