All you'll ever need for product-led growth

Implement self-serve user onboarding

Onboard your users with automated behavior-based campaigns. Activate free users and upsell them to paid plans.

Send lifecycle email and in-app messages based on user behavior. Promote upgrades, collect feedback, ask for testimonials or referrals.

Send marketing email

Build visual workflows

Segment your customers

Assign a conversion tracking period and see if the user has reached their goal within that window.

Measure performance

For each message, get a detailed report for a specific time period that includes open, click, and unsubscribe rates.

Send broadcasts

Send newsletters or product updates to your audience. Send targeted broadcasts to invite a segment of users for beta testing or customer research.

Build your list with forms

Build your marketing email list using signup forms. Use forms for your waiting list, lead magnets, or content upgrades.

Offer subscription preferences

Instead of a single unsubscribe link, offer your subscribers layered subscription preferences with topics.

Implement company-level automation

Manage company accounts with many-to-many relationships. Email users based on what's happening in the company.

Send notifications to your team

Notify your team as part of your automation journeys. Let them know about promising trials or churn risk.

Connect with your tools

Our conclusion. Chameleon is one of the priciest customer messaging tools out there, but there is a reason for that. It provides you with the most complete set of tools for customer onboarding and in-app notifications. However, it doesn't offer any email automation. If you need behavior-based emails in addition to in-app notifications, then Userlist is your choice.

Built for product-led growth

That's why these SaaS companies have switched their email marketing automation to Userlist.
