PLG onboarding sequences: Mailchimp vs Kit in practice
Amara Diallo · Agency founder · April 2, 2024
We ran a working session on PLG onboarding sequences using Mailchimp and Kit. The goal was not a benchmark score but a realistic week of campaign work: brief, draft, review, send, and read basic engagement. Mailchimp fit our stack when we needed speed from natural language. Kit 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.

Adding field notes from Email designer work: we saw similar tradeoffs on PLG onboarding sequences. Happy to share our checklist for domain warmup and list hygiene if useful.
