Why switch
Key differences
Sequences, not just newsletters
Buttondown is designed for sending newsletters. Driplane is designed for multi-step sequences — onboarding flows, drip campaigns, and conditional paths.
Pay once, not monthly
Buttondown charges $9-29+/mo for automation features. Driplane is a single $47 payment with all features included.
Visual sequence builder
Buttondown has no visual workflow editor. Driplane lets you drag and drop emails, wait steps, branches, and conditions on a visual canvas.
A/B testing and branching
Split test different emails and branch based on opens, clicks, or contact fields. Buttondown offers none of this in automated sequences.
