Email list segmentation without expensive CDP or manual tagging

Solopreneurs with 5K-50K email subscribers struggle to segment audiences by behavior (opened-but-didn't-click, purchased-but-inactive, high-engagement) without paying $500+/month for Klaviyo or HubSpot. Mailchimp's free segmentation is too basic, and Zapier workarounds require technical setup that confuses non-technical founders. Small business owners ask repeatedly in indie business forums how to do this affordably.

“Show HN: I made a free list of 100 places where you can promote your app I recently shared this on reddit and it got 500 upvotes so I thought I’d share it here as well, hoping it helps more people. Every time I launch a new product, I go through the same annoying routine: Googling “SaaS directories,” digging up 5-year-old blog posts, and piecing together a messy spreadsheet of where to submit. It’s frustrating and time-consuming. For those who don’t know launch directories are websites where new”
