How Flodesk and Tertulia compare

Flodesk made email marketing pretty and easy to stay in. Gorgeous templates, an editor designers enjoy, workflows, forms and link-in-bio pages, and unlimited sends on every paid plan. Pricing now scales with active subscribers; anyone on the old unlimited plan keeps it. Flodesk Checkout adds simple sales pages. Small brands with taste pick it and stay.

Tertulia for Authors is a website built around the books. Enter an ISBN or ASIN and it imports the covers, descriptions, reviews, and buy links, then adds a blog, an events calendar, and a mailing list. Pro adds direct sales and newsletters. That is real strength. If the site should come from the catalog instead of a blank page, Tertulia is built for exactly that.

Where they are different

Choose Flodesk when email design is the job and you want unlimited sends on a list-sized plan.

Choose Tertulia when the center of the work is the book catalog: imported pages, retailer links, events, a reader magnet, and direct ebook, audiobook, print, and merchandise sales with no Tertulia commission.
