Ehsan's Recommendation
This stack is expensive but the ROI calculation is straightforward: one marketing coordinator spends 15 hours/week on email copywriting. This stack does 80% of that in zero time. At $900/mo vs. $3,000/mo for 15 hours of labor, the savings fund the entire marketing tech budget.
