our call

Start with MailMunch — highest vibe code, weakest moat.

Justuno

Building a high-performance JS trigger script that renders popups and captures emails into Klaviyo takes less than two weeks. However, replacing Justuno completely requires rebuilding a full drag-and-drop visual design canvas and replacing their managed agency CRO services.

you can rebuild

  • Exit-intent and timed popups
  • Basic email and phone capture forms
  • Targeting rules (URL parameters, cart value, device type, new vs returning)
  • Sticky bars and slide-in notifications
  • Static discount code presentation

what you lose

  • Drag-and-drop freeform canvas builder for complex multi-step modal designs
  • Managed "Done-For-You" CRO agency services and dedicated account managers
  • Pre-built library of hundreds of high-converting storefront templates
  • Proprietary AI product recommendation engine widgets
  • Built-in instant email and SMS verification at the point of capture

real moats

  • Deep ecosystem integrations with tier-1 enterprise ESPs (Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript) and agency partner networks.
  • Extensive visual template library and drag-and-drop design studio built for non-technical conversion rate optimisers.
  • Managed service tiers where human CRO strategists design and maintain campaigns for high-volume enterprise stores.

MailMunch

MailMunch is essentially a collection of overlay triggers (exit-intent, timers) connected to a basic contact store and email dispatcher. Paying monthly for modal triggers when modern UI components and transactional email APIs exist is unnecessary. Rebuilding the popup logic takes hours; mailing lists can be sent to Listmonk or directly to Resend/Klaviyo.

you can rebuild

  • Exit-intent, scroll-depth, and delay-based popup triggers
  • Subscriber contact storage and double opt-in verification
  • Simple automated welcome email sequences
  • On-submit discount code generation or reveal
  • Form submission and conversion tracking analytics

what you lose

  • Pre-made library of responsive form and email templates
  • No-code visual drag-and-drop email and popup page builder
  • Out-of-the-box native integrations with 30+ legacy ESPs
  • Managed IP reputation and email deliverability monitoring
  • Built-in A/B testing suite for form variants

real moats

  • Turnkey visual template library
  • Plug-and-play integrations with legacy e-commerce tech stacks
  • Managed mail sender reputation
