- Make a list of who clicked for the next issue or for sales.
- Ask Sam "who clicked the demo link this week?"

The full guide
Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.
Short answer: Alori is a beehiiv alternative for small software companies and agencies whose newsletter keeps them close to clients and leads. Campaigns go out from the same app as your CRM, to lists that update themselves from your tags, fields, deals and product activity, and each reader is a customer record with their deals and conversations. Every plan has unlimited users, and switching is a copy and paste of your subscriber list.
Why teams leave beehiiv
beehiiv is a strong platform for newsletter publishers who grow an audience and earn from it. Companies leave it when the newsletter is a sales tool:
- Its ad network, paid subscriptions and referral program help a newsletter earn money. A software company or an agency wants its readers to become clients.
- The free plan has 1 seat, Lite 2 and Pro 10.
- Who is a client, who has an open proposal and who is in a trial lives in your CRM, apart from your newsletter tool.

What Alori replaces
- Email campaigns: write it yourself, ask Alori to write it, or paste your own HTML. Add first names, company names or your own fields, a button, and an English and a French version.
- Lists that keep themselves up to date, by tags, by fields on customers, companies, contacts or deals, by active, past or prospect customers, by language, or by what people did on your website or in your app.
- Try a second subject on a small group first, send a test to yourself, or set a day and time. Then see who opened and clicked each link, make a list of them, or resend to people who didn't open.
- Your domain and the law: send from your own domain. Every email ends with your address and an Unsubscribe link, and unsubscribes, bounces and spam reports are left out after.
- A website: Alori builds your site and changes it when you ask. Its forms, your booking pages and Facebook and Instagram lead forms land as deals.
- The rest of the business: website chat, calls, quotes and invoices, on the same customers.
What Alori doesn't do yet
A newsletter archive on the web, paid subscriptions, an ad network and sponsorships, a referral program for readers, signup forms built to grow an audience, polls and several publications. If your newsletter is the business, stay on beehiiv.
How to switch
- Start free. Describe your business. Alori builds your app with customers, deals and email campaigns.
- Bring your subscribers. Export your active subscribers from beehiiv as a CSV and paste them into Ask Sam with "Add these customers:". Alori adds them, with an Undo button. Leave out anyone who unsubscribed.
- Tag them. Ask Sam to tag them Newsletter, then make a list by that tag. It updates itself as people join.
- Send your first campaign. Add your mailing address the first time, send yourself a test, then send or schedule it.
