    We tried both MailChimp and SendPulse. SendPulse should improve the autocomplete fields and it comes with fewer templates. MailChimp lacks in more integration with other programs and software. Once you create a template on MailChimp, it seems difficult to edit. Goolara works perfectly with auto-responders, has an advanced bounce tracking system, mailing frequency limits, and more. I'm sure you won't regret once you are ready to set with Goolara.

    We use Mailchimp for email marketing but as integration with WordPress we found Retainful easier to use (automation workflow) and you can start for free! Moreover, we can generate and send coupon codes directly from the plugin, and works great with Woocommerce! It is more than one year that we use Retainful and we are completely satisfied
