Clued vs Flodesk
In this article
Flodesk is sleek. It’s email marketing made pretty — easy templates, flat pricing, and a modern feel. That’s why so many indie brands and creators pick it over clunky tools like Mailchimp.
But here’s the truth: Flodesk is still just an email tool.
If you’re an indie seller, you don’t just need nice emails. You need to drop goods, own your buyers, and actually make sales. Flodesk won’t do that on its own.
That’s why we built Clued.
- AI-powered Scenes that make your goods scroll-stopping in seconds.
- Subscribers + messaging built in — grow your list automatically with every drop.
- Your shop + checkout — payments, shipping, order tracking included.
- Mobile-first + fun — built for sellers who sell where culture happens.
👉 Flodesk sends pretty emails. Clued sells your goods.
Flodesk: Where it falls short for sellers
No shop — No checkout, no product listings, no order tracking.
Email-only — Great for newsletters, but can’t run drops or build a store.
Still needs add-ons — You’ll need Shopify, PayPal, or other tools just to sell.
No Scenes — You still have to design your own marketing assets.
Flat pricing, but flat capability — One-size-fits-all plan. Limited when you want to grow.
