Stay on Flodesk if...
We'd rather you pick the right tool than switch and regret it. Flodesk is the better call when:
- Design is the whole point. Flodesk's templates are beautiful.
- You sell through Flodesk's checkout and sales pages.
- You like being billed only for active subscribers (Flodesk doesn't count unsubscribed or bounced ones).

Switching in an afternoon
Most people do this on a Sunday with a coffee. Here's the whole thing.
- Export a CSV from Flodesk. In Flodesk, open Audience, then Segments, click the three dots on a segment and choose Download CSV. The link comes by email.
-
Import it into SendFox. Open the import screen, choose Upload a file, pick a list and map the columns.
The SendFox import screen. -
Recreate your signup form. Pick a hosted link or paste one line of code on your site, and choose which list signups go to. Swap the old form on your site for the new one.
The SendFox form builder: where it lives, where signups go, what the button says. -
Rebuild your welcome email and re-send it. Create an automation triggered when someone joins your list and paste in your welcome emails. Then use "Add contacts manually" to drop your imported list in, so everyone gets a friendly hello from your new sender instead of a surprise.
