What is Loops?
Loops is an email platform for software companies, covering marketing campaigns, lifecycle automations and transactional sending.
What does it do?
Send one-off campaigns to a contact list, or trigger automated sequences from product events through the API. Contacts carry custom properties for segmentation, transactional email sends through the same account, and each send reports opens and clicks.
Who is it for?
SaaS and startup teams that want marketing, lifecycle and transactional email in one account instead of running a newsletter tool and a sending API separately.
What are the alternatives to Loops?
Beehiiv and Kit (ConvertKit) lean toward newsletter publishing and audience growth; Resend and Postmark are developer sending APIs with no campaign tooling; Customer.io handles heavier lifecycle segmentation.
