Where Mailchimp stops, Craftify AI keeps going
Craftify AI is an all-in-one customer platform for local service businesses: it helps you win new customers and keep them. Here is where it differs from Mailchimp.
Email from your own domain, plus everything around it
Send branded campaigns with per-contact open and click tracking, scheduling, and automations. Then keep going: design the social post that links to your offer, schedule it, capture the lead from your site, and follow up without touching another tool.
Your audience, your contacts, your CRM
Tags and segments stop being just for email. Pipelines, custom fields, interaction logs, and notes per contact. Import from CSV, QuickBooks, or Shopify, or let your lead forms add contacts. Automations trigger on segment changes and email actions.
Designs that don't end at the email cover
The Visual Designer covers social posts, carousels, ad creatives, blog headers, business cards, and print, with AI image generation and background removal built in. Every design pulls your logo, brand colors, and contact info from your business profile, so a branding change updates everything.
AI that already knows your business
Craftify builds your business profile from your website URL or Google Business Profile, so emails, captions, ads, and blog posts already use your services, audience, and brand voice. Pick a template and review instead of writing prompts.
Everything you need in one plan
Mailchimp's price climbs with every contact tier. Craftify Core includes 1,500 contacts and Pro 8,000, and you add more only if you need them. Every plan covers design, CRM, and social too. Cancel anytime.
Built to run on autopilot
Birthday emails, post-service Google review requests, segment-triggered campaigns, and scheduled social posts keep going on their own, even on weeks you forget to log in. Insights reports come with a Craft Buddy summary of what to do next.
