ClevMail vs theMarketer for a Romanian business
Language, currency and support win us nothing here, because they are Romanian too. What is left is the real difference: they cover more channels and more stores, we take email all the way and bring the people who run it.
Updated: July 2026
ClevMail or theMarketer: which one fits?
It depends what you need. theMarketer gives you email, SMS and push notifications in one account, plus integrations with close to 20 store platforms. ClevMail does email only, but it does it with an AI editor writing in Romanian and with automations running from day one, the free plan included. If you need more channels, they cover more. If you want email taken all the way, with the option that the team who built the platform runs your campaigns, that is us.
Point by point comparison
Both products are Romanian, so we compare what actually differs. Where theMarketer is better, we say so.
| Aspect | theMarketer | ClevMail |
|---|---|---|
| Channels | Email, SMS and push notifications, in one account. | Email only. If you need SMS and push, they cover more than we do. |
| Store integrations | Around 20 platforms, including Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart and Gomag. | WooCommerce. If you are on another platform, tell us in your first message. |
| Free plan | 1,000 contacts and 5,000 emails per month, on email, with no automations included. | The same volume, 1,000 contacts and 5,000 emails, with automations, abandoned cart and two AI agent runs included. |
| Who writes and sets it up | You, or a partner from an expert marketplace they point you to. | You, or the team that built the platform. We do not send you elsewhere. |
| Who finds the problems | The software vendor, separate from whoever runs your campaigns. | We run real clients on the platform every day, so we find what breaks before you do. |
| AI for copy | Not presented as an argument in their public material. | An AI editor that writes in Romanian, tuned to your brand voice. |
The theMarketer figures were read from their own site on 15 August 2026, from the plans page and the integrations list. We do not compare tier prices, they change over time and we leave them out of the table. The free plan is the exception, because it is a public offer and it weighs on the decision.
When to choose theMarketer and when to choose ClevMail
There are cases where they are the better choice, and if you are in one of them we tell you now rather than after you have paid.
Choose theMarketer if
- You need SMS and push notifications, not just email.
- Your store runs on Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop or anything other than WooCommerce.
- You already have someone writing and sending the campaigns and you only want the tool.
Choose ClevMail if
- You want email done well rather than several channels done halfway.
- Your store runs on WooCommerce.
- You want automations and abandoned cart running from day one, free plan included.
- You want the option for the people who built the platform to take over your campaigns.
- You need copy written in Romanian in your brand voice, not translated into it.
Frequently asked questions
Is theMarketer cheaper than ClevMail?
The free plans hold the same volume: 1,000 contacts and 5,000 emails per month on both. What differs is what sits inside them, because our automations and AI agent are included from the free plan. Above that threshold both products get more expensive as your list grows, and the fair comparison is made on your own contact count and how many emails you send each month.
Why does ClevMail do email only, when theMarketer has three channels?
Because we prefer one channel done well over three done halfway. If you need SMS and push notifications in the same account, theMarketer covers more than we do and is the right choice.
You are both Romanian, what is the real difference?
theMarketer sells software and points you to a partner marketplace when you need someone to write and configure. At ClevMail the platform and the team running it are the same place, and we run real clients on it every day, so we find the problems before you do.
Can I migrate from theMarketer to ClevMail?
Yes. Contacts are exported and imported with their consent records, and the automated flows are rebuilt on our side. We tell you upfront exactly what transfers and what has to be rebuilt, so nothing surprises you mid-migration.
So is theMarketer a bad choice?
No. It is a good Romanian product, with more channels and more integrations than we have. The choice depends on what you need: if you want coverage across several channels, or your store is not on WooCommerce, they suit you better. If you want email taken all the way, with the people who run it, that is us.
Rather not run it yourself?
ClevMail is built by DeviDevs. If you want email working without touching it, the DeviDevs Agency team sets it up and runs it for you: flows, monthly campaigns and reporting.
