The short version

Which one you want, in three sentences

Pick FluentCRM if your site is WordPress, your list is large, and you're comfortable owning deliverability. A flat $90/year against per-contact pricing is a very large saving at scale.

Pick Email Bump if you want sending, deliverability and a transactional API handled, and would rather your marketing didn't depend on the site staying up.

Pick both which some people do — FluentCRM for the WordPress-native contact record, an external provider for the actual sending.

Against us

Three places FluentCRM is the better choice

No per-contact pricing at all. $90/year covers unlimited contacts. Our published ladder reaches $399/mo at 500,000. For a large WordPress list, that difference is the entire argument and we're not going to talk around it.

The data stays in your database. Contacts, sequences and automation live in your own WordPress tables — nothing leaves your server except the mail. That's a genuine privacy and ownership answer.

WooCommerce and LearnDash integration. Native, deep and immediate. We'd need you to push those events over the API, which is work FluentCRM has already done.

FAQ

Email Bump vs FluentCRM, asked and answered

Is Email Bump more expensive than FluentCRM?

At any meaningful list size, yes — a flat $90/year against a monthly per-contact price is not a close comparison.

What the difference buys is sending, deliverability, and marketing that doesn't stop when your site does.

Can I keep FluentCRM and send through you?

Over SMTP, yes — point WordPress's mailer at our SMTP credentials and FluentCRM's sends go out through us. You'd be paying us for contacts as well, so it's usually only worth it if you want our deliverability specifically.

Most people either stay fully in FluentCRM with SES, or move fully out.

Do you integrate with WooCommerce?

Not natively. You'd send order and product events to us over the API or a webhook, which is a small piece of work rather than a large one — but FluentCRM has already done it.
