# Brew vs Stripo

## The short version

Choose Brew if you want a fully agentic setup, where your AI agent drives lifecycle marketing to engage and retain customers. Brew designs every email from your brand and runs your automations agentically.

Choose Stripo if you need AMP emails, landing pages, in-editor translation or an email editor to embed in your own product, and send from another email platform.

## Why teams switch from Stripo to Brew

Brew is fully agentic: your agent designs on-brand emails, sends them and runs your automations. In Stripo, AI drafts designs and another platform sends them.

## Your agent runs your lifecycle email.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Grok over MCP and your agent gets every Brew tool. It designs emails from your brand, builds audiences, runs automations and schedules sends. OAuth and organization-scoped MCP connections ask you to confirm live sends and launches. Brand-scoped API keys can execute permitted calls without the MCP confirmation step.

## Every email designed from your brand.

Paste your website and Brew writes your brand into two files your agent reads for every email. Describe the email and it appears on the canvas, ready to edit by hand or in chat.

## Moving from Stripo

Keep your current email platform sending until Brew passes your tests. We’ll do the move with you on a call if you like.

1. **Bring your templates**: In Stripo, open the email, click Export, choose HTML and pick an HTML file or the HTML code, then paste it into Brew; imports are free. Most teams have Brew redesign their emails from their brand instead, which is faster and looks better.
2. **Set up your brand**: Paste your website and Brew writes your brand into two files your agent reads for every email.
3. **Import your contacts**: Export your contacts as a CSV from your current email platform and import them into Brew. The import shows who opted out before it runs. Before importing, prepare a Subscribed column: true for opted-in contacts, false for unsubscribed, cleaned or suppressed contacts. Invert any Unsubscribed true/false flag first. Map the column to Subscribed and review the opt-out preview; new contacts default to subscribed if this value is missing.
4. **Connect your sending domain**: Connect and verify your sending domain, then review its health and inbox placement. For a new domain, select Gradual send to ramp the campaign in configurable batches before a large send. Gradual send is off by default; connecting a domain does not automatically warm it up.

## Questions

### Is Brew a good Stripo alternative?

Yes, if you want one tool that designs and sends your email. Stripo designs emails and landing pages that you export to a separate email platform. Brew designs finished, on-brand emails from your brand, sends them from your own domain and runs your automations from your AI agent, with unlimited contacts on every plan. Brew has no AMP emails, landing pages or embeddable editor.

### Can I use Brew alongside Stripo?

Yes. Teams that already design in Stripo can keep doing so, export the HTML and import it into Brew, which sends it from your domain and runs your automations. You can also design in Brew, download the HTML and upload it to Stripo, where imported HTML is edited as code.

### How is Brew’s agent different from Stripo’s AI?

In Brew, your agent designs the finished email from brand files it reads every time, builds audiences, runs automations and sends. Stripo’s AI Assistant plans a sequence and drafts each email’s copy from the brand details you enter, then styles it with one of six preset themes. Stripo’s MCP server, on the Medium plan and up, lets Claude, Cursor or Codex find, create, edit and export emails, and your email platform still sends them.
OAuth and organization-scoped MCP connections ask you to confirm live sends and launches. Brand-scoped API keys can execute permitted calls without the MCP confirmation step.

### Do Stripo’s AI emails come out on-brand?

Partly. Stripo’s AI takes your logo, company name and tone of voice, then styles the email with one of six predefined themes; Stripo says styles from your saved templates or website are planned. Its brand kit generator copies colors and fonts from one of your templates. Teams that move to Brew tell us these drafts rarely look like their brand, so someone still redesigns them. Brew designs the whole email, layout, copy and images, from brand files your agent reads every time, so it goes out on-brand.

### Will Brew cost more or less than Stripo?

They bill on different things, and Brew also takes the place of your email platform. Stripo has a free plan with 4 exports a month, then Basic at $20/month, Medium at $45/month and Pro at $125/month, with limits on members and exports, and you pay your email platform to send. Brew bills on sends and AI credits with unlimited contacts and seats. Start with the free trial and compare at your own numbers.

### Do I still need an email platform with Brew?

No. Brew sends marketing and transactional email from your own domain, runs your automations and holds your contacts and audiences, with unlimited contacts on every plan.

### Is Brew SOC 2 certified?

Not yet. We complete security reviews and sign a DPA on request, and our privacy policy, DPA, GDPR page and subprocessor list are public at docs.brew.new/legal.

### How long does it take to move from Stripo?

Your first on-brand email is ready the day you start the trial. Most teams have Brew redesign their emails from their brand rather than import them, then import contacts from their email platform’s CSV and connect their sending domain. Keep your current email platform sending until Brew passes your tests.
Before importing, prepare a Subscribed column: true for opted-in contacts, false for unsubscribed, cleaned or suppressed contacts. Invert any Unsubscribed true/false flag first. Map the column to Subscribed and review the opt-out preview; new contacts default to subscribed if this value is missing.

### Do you help with the move?

Yes. We get on a call to import your contacts and unsubscribe list, bring over or redesign your emails, rebuild your flows and connect your sending domain.
