FAQ
FluentCRM integration questions.
SMTP for transactional email?
FluentCRM uses your WordPress SMTP. Amazon SES is cheapest ($0.10 per 1k emails). SendGrid + Mailgun are simpler to set up.
Can it replace Mailchimp at scale?
Yes - many Reign sites with 10k+ subscribers run FluentCRM exclusively. Cost difference vs Mailchimp at that scale is $300+/mo.
Want it pre-wired?
Pick a bundled kit.
The Reign theme is $99/year or $249 lifetime and it is the only required purchase. Kits bundle it with the add-ons that style a third-party stack.
