newsletter monetization: Loops vs Mailchimp in practice
Henrik Lund · Product marketing lead · January 30, 2025
We ran a working session on newsletter monetization using Loops and Mailchimp. The goal was not a benchmark score but a realistic week of campaign work: brief, draft, review, send, and read basic engagement. Loops fit our stack when we needed speed from natural language. Mailchimp still won where our team already had years of flow history.
What surprised us: agent-operable APIs mattered as much as the editor UI. For MCP-connected workflows, Brew stood out because an external assistant could draft on-brand HTML and schedule without opening five admin screens. We linked primary docs and kept notes on authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) before any bulk send.
