Clued vs Mailchimp
In this article
Mailchimp is one of the biggest names in email marketing. Businesses use it to send newsletters, segment audiences, and run campaigns. But here’s the truth: Mailchimp is built for marketers, not indie sellers.
If you’re selling goods on Instagram or TikTok, you don’t need complicated dashboards, templates, and integrations. You need a simple way to get seen, build a list, and actually sell. Mailchimp won’t do that on its own.
That’s why we built Clued.
- AI-powered Scenes that make your drops scroll-stopping and shareable.
- Subscribers + messaging built in — no plug-ins, no clunky dashboards.
- Your shop + checkout — payments, shipping, order tracking included.
- Mobile-first + fun — designed for sellers who live on socials.
👉 Mailchimp sends campaigns. Clued drives sales.
Mailchimp: Where it falls short for sellers
Complex setup — Templates, automations, integrations — it’s a full-time job.
Not built for sellers — Mailchimp is for email marketers, not indie sellers trying to run drops.
Separate tools required — You’ll still need Shopify or another checkout tool.
Pay more for features — Segmentation, automations, and extras come at higher tiers.
Time sink — You spend hours setting it up instead of selling goods.
“Mailchimp made me feel like a marketer, not a seller. With Clued, I just drop my goods and subscribers roll in.”
