Questions
Is Atlis a Userlist alternative?
For early-stage SaaS that mainly messages individual users, yes. Atlis starts free and has lifecycle stages, billing triggers and churn tools built in. If you need account-level messaging for B2B teams, Userlist's company model is stronger.
Does Atlis support companies or accounts?
Not as a separate object. Each tracked user is a person. You can store a company name in user properties, and segment by plan, health score and signup date.
How do I move my users to Atlis?
Import them from a CSV, or send them with the Server API, then install the snippet so new activity keeps flowing in.
