About SendPulse
What is SendPulse?
SendPulse is a multi-channel marketing automation platform that lets you manage email campaigns, SMS, web push notifications, chatbots, and a built-in CRM from a single dashboard. It solves the problem of juggling multiple tools by consolidating your marketing channels into one place, saving time and reducing software costs.
Who is it for?
It's built for small businesses, e-commerce stores, startups, and independent professionals who need to run targeted email and SMS campaigns, automate lead nurturing, and manage customer relationships without a large budget. If you're a solo entrepreneur, a small marketing team, or an eLearning business looking to market and sell courses, SendPulse offers a scalable solution. It is less suited for large enterprises with complex, custom integrations or those needing advanced CRM features beyond basic pipeline tracking.
Use cases
Typical use cases include: e-commerce stores automating abandoned cart reminders via email and SMS; marketing teams building welcome sequences with the visual automation builder; and businesses sending transactional emails like order confirmations or password resets through SMTP/API. The platform also supports web push campaigns for re-engaging website visitors and online course creation with a built-in builder.
Strengths
Key strengths include a generous free plan (up to 500 subscribers with 15,000 emails/month), an all-in-one approach combining email, SMS, push, chatbot, and CRM, and a drag-and-drop automation builder. The platform is trusted by over 3 million users and has a 4.6 rating from thousands of reviewers.
