11 Best Email Marketing Tools for Vibe Studio Flutter Apps

14 min read

You built your app with Vibe Studio because you wanted Flutter for web, iOS, and Android from one codebase. The platform includes a built-in code editor and AI debugger, giving you control over your Flutter project. Now you need email that works with your backend, whatever that might be.

Vibe Studio generates Flutter apps, which means you have flexibility in backend choice. Whether you are using Firebase, Supabase, a custom Node backend, or something else, your email platform needs to work via simple REST calls. SDK dependencies are less relevant when you control the backend.

This guide covers 11 email marketing tools that work well with Vibe Studio Flutter applications. I focused on platforms with clean REST APIs that work from any backend. If you are building with a different Flutter tool, check out our guides for FlutterFlow or other mobile tools.

1. Sequenzy

Price: Free (100 subscribers) / $49/mo at 10,000 subscribers. Transactional emails included at no extra cost.

Flutter apps built with Vibe Studio can call Sequenzy's REST API from any backend. Unlike SDK-dependent tools, you just need HTTP calls to send emails. This works whether your backend is Firebase, Supabase, Node, Python, or anything else.

The platform was built for SaaS apps, not newsletters. The visual sequence builder creates onboarding, trial conversion, and lifecycle emails without code. The AI generates complete flows from a prompt.

Sequenzy handles both transactional emails and marketing automation. Password resets and nurture campaigns flow through the same system. One sender reputation, one dashboard.

At $49/mo for 10k subscribers, it is 55% cheaper than Mailchimp and 67% cheaper than Klaviyo. Revenue attribution connects emails to actual MRR.

Where it falls short: No push notifications. Pair with Firebase Cloud Messaging or OneSignal.

Best for: Flutter SaaS founders who want powerful automation without enterprise complexity. Indie hacker friendly.

Integration Patterns for Vibe Studio

REST API from backend

Call email APIs from your backend, not the Flutter client. Keep API keys server-side.

// Backend (Node.js example)
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.post('/api/subscribe', async (req, res) => {
  const { email, name } = req.body;

  await fetch('https://api.sequenzy.com/v1/subscribers', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.SEQUENZY_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      email,
      attributes: { name }
    })
  });

  res.json({ success: true });
});

Backend-agnostic

Since Vibe Studio gives you Flutter without prescribing a backend, any REST-based email service works. Choose based on features, not SDK availability.

The Bottom Line

For Vibe Studio Flutter apps, Sequenzy offers the best balance: clean REST API, unified transactional and marketing, Stripe integration. Backend-agnostic means it works with any architecture.

If you want Flutter SDK integration, Customer.io has that. For pure transactional, Resend or Postmark.
