Mailchimp alternative

Email sent to the tables you already keep. No CSV re-uploads, no AI add-on bills.

Design the email in TinyEmails and TinyCampaigns broadcasts it to a table of your own rows, from your own domain if you verify one. Same product as your forms and database, so there is no audience to sync across tools.

“Just started using TinyCommand and it's already proving to be an incredible companion for managing my entire work lifecycle, from customer acquisition to retention. This all-in-one platform truly streamlines everything with its integrated forms, workflows, tables, emails, and AI agents.”

Why teams switch

Three things Mailchimp structurally can’t do.

Your table is the list

A campaign sends to a TinyTables table, kept to the people who opted in. No daily CSV upload, no ‘sync from Airtable every hour and pray the field mapping holds.’ The audience is fixed when you confirm the send.

A line written in the table, merged in

Have an AI column in TinyTables write a personal opening line for each contact from what the row holds (their company, last interaction, intent), then drop it into your campaign as a {{field}}. The AI writes it in the table, not at send time.

Triggered by anything in your stack

Form submission, new row, webhook, app event. All native event sources. The email send is just another workflow step, through Gmail, Outlook or SendGrid. No Zapier bridge to Mailchimp.

Where it fits

Email is the last step of most flows. Make sure it’s connected to the first.

Design it in TinyEmails and TinyCampaigns sends it to the same tables your forms write to. The agent that scored the lead wrote to that row, so the context is already there to merge in.

Real flows

What you can actually build.

Newsletter to everyone who opted in

Your signup form writes each subscriber and their consent choice to a table. Design the issue once; the campaign sends only to rows marked opted-in.

TinyFormsTinyTables (consent column)TinyEmails (design)TinyCampaigns (send)

Announcement with a line per customer

An AI column writes one sentence per customer from what the table already knows about them. The template merges it in, and you review the confirm screen before anything goes out.

Clean the list before a big send

Fill in missing emails and verify the risky ones in the table first. Hard bounces and complaints that still happen suppress themselves for every later campaign.

Win-back list built by a workflow

A scheduled workflow copies lapsed customers into their own table. Point a campaign at that table and send when you are ready.

Switching from Mailchimp

We’ll migrate your setup for you.

Email us your Mailchimp account and our team rebuilds your setup in TinyCommand, carries over your contacts and email designs, and helps you wire up the workflows. Multi-step drip flows don’t carry over: TinyCampaigns sends broadcasts, and single triggered emails are rebuilt as workflows. Live within a week.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you switch.

How is TinyCommand different from Mailchimp?

+

Mailchimp is a great email tool; what it isn’t great at is being part of a stack. Here you design the email in TinyEmails and TinyCampaigns sends it to a TinyTables table, the same one your forms write into, so there is no CSV upload or segment sync. The audience is fixed when you confirm the send. A workflow can also email anyone the moment a form is submitted or a row is added. What isn't there today: multi-day drip sequences, A/B tests and a transactional sending API.

Can I import my Mailchimp audiences?

+

Export your audience from Mailchimp as a CSV and import it into a TinyTables table. Keep the column that records consent, so only opted-in rows are sent to. There is no automatic Mailchimp importer, and templates need to be rebuilt in TinyEmails.

Deliverability: am I sending from a shared IP?

+

Campaigns can send from your own DKIM-verified domain; without one they go out from TinyCommand's shared sender address. Dedicated IPs are not offered. Hard bounces, complaints and unsubscribes suppress automatically, and a campaign pauses itself if bounces pass 5% or complaints pass 0.1% after fifty sends.

Does it do transactional email like Postmark / SendGrid?

+

Not as an API. TinyCampaigns is broadcast sending to a table, and a workflow can send a one-off email when something happens in your stack. There's no transactional sending API today, so receipts, password resets and magic links at volume aren't part of it.

What about deliverability for cold outbound?

+

Honest answer: for cold sales outreach at volume, dedicated tools like Instantly or Smartlead are better; they specialize in inbox rotation and warmup. TinyCampaigns is built for broadcasts to people already in your tables.

How does the free tier work?

+

You can start free with no card; the Free plan comes with 1,000 credits for a single user. Professional at $49/mo adds 50,000 credits, up to 10 seats and custom AI agent creation.

What about marketing-specific features: A/B testing, landing pages?

+

A/B testing: not built yet. Landing pages: not offered; TinyForms covers most of what landing pages are used for (capture + qualify). If you need a full website builder, we’re not it.

Compliance: unsubscribes and consent?

+

Every campaign email carries a one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058 list-unsubscribe headers), and an unsubscribe is honoured by every later campaign in the workspace. Consent is a column in your table: set it and only rows with an allowed value are sent to. There is no built-in double opt-in flow.
