Updated September 2026

How Snappy Kraken works

Automated campaigns

It gives you a library of ready-made email campaigns and sends them to your contacts on a schedule, with text messaging and lead capture on the bigger plans.

Websites too

It also builds advisor websites. You can buy campaigns, a website, or both as a bundle.

Done for you, if you pay for it

The top plan, Freedom360, adds a team that plans and runs your marketing. In September 2026 it added Snappy AI to read your results and suggest what to do next.

Cost

A monthly bill on an annual term.

Snappy Kraken

Campaigns start at $199 a month plus $199 setup. The Grow bundle, with a custom website, is $449 a month plus $2,998 setup. All on an annual term.

$449 × 12 + $2,998 = $8,386 the first year

VerbaPost

$20 an invitation, paid once. Your first campaign is $500 for 25. No subscription. But $500 doesn't buy a client. A campaign can bring none, and it may take a few.

When each makes sense

Snappy Kraken

You want to stay in front of a big list every month, and you want a website and email in one place.

VerbaPost

You have names that aren't opening your emails anymore. You want to send them something they'll read, keep and pass on.

Where VerbaPost fitsYou bring the list. We mail the invitations, call the ones who say yes, and mail their story to someone they love. Then you call. How it works.

Use both

Email keeps you in front of a big list. A letter gets you a phone call with one person. They're different jobs.
