Kindling compared.
There are two honest alternatives to Kindling: hire the loop — a fractional CMO at $4,000+ a month — or assemble it yourself from tools that each hold one piece. Nobody else runs the whole thing in software: the audit of where you stand, the 90-day plan with real pipeline math, the Monday briefing, and the call on every play — cut it, double down, or give it more time. Here's how Kindling compares to each — honestly.
