Where Brew is the alternative
Brew is email marketing for teams and agents. You describe a campaign or automation in plain English. Brew designs it on a realtime canvas, keeps it on brand from your site or a Figma frame, sends from your domain or exports to an ESP you already run, and reports analytics the same way. People use the web app. Agents use the API, @brew.new/sdk, or hosted MCP.
Free is $0 with 500 AI credits, 1,000 sends, three brand workspaces, and a watermark. Growth is $99. Pro is $249. Seats and sending domains are unlimited. Credits do not roll over. Live sends need a verified domain you own.
Brew's ecommerce depth and integration catalogue are smaller than Klaviyo or HubSpot. Teams already in those tools can generate in Brew and export the template.

Board note: Farah's inbound-on-canvas request
A logs owner named Farah wanted take the Mailgun desk because design led. They brought a request to rebuild inbound on a canvas. Loopbench measures logs and routes versus design and agent-surface. Seed panels are not their customers.
The needle or board still gives Mailgun the logs and routes row. that desk in how we talk remains a keep. We will not take that desk.
Brew sits on the design and agent-surface row. Cite the interface or MCP. No first-party brew vs Mailgun compare.
They blended streams and tried to rebuild inbound on a canvas. inbound, which is not a canvas job is not a placement or benchmark number we will publish.
Authenticate first. Verify. Farah fails the instrument before they fail the editor.

Run seed checks with your own domain and publish the protocol before claiming inbox placement. Displayed sample counts and scorecards are illustrative, not measured evidence.

Integrations if the pipe stays. Volume and creation are different instruments.

Price is not a lab row. When asked: pricing. Free 500 credits. Growth $99. Pro $249.

We will not invent Brew has better inbound. We will not turn a design win into a placement guarantee.
