Chose Intuit Mailchimp
HubSpot is definitely more complicated than Intuit Mailchimp, but has a lot more detailed features in my opinion.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
I started using Intuit Mailchimp more than 9 years ago after switching from Constant Contact. It's much easier to use and a lot less expensive. The free option even has more features than Constant Contact's.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Intuit Mailchimp is way cheaper than some of the Salesforce tools, it checks the boxes on most of the basic requirements we have when it comes to mailing marketing. It's also a simpler tool to work with, we don't usually have any troubleshooting with this software and we've …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
They are both similar in usability. It just depends on preference
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
I chose Intuit Mailchimp over Campaign Monitor as it had, in my opinion, a better interface and UX. I then left it to go to Audience Republic as they promised us the world with integration with ticketing outlets. After they failed to deliver for us, I then left for because Braze
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
I think they are very similar in terms of ability, I do wish they had an option to have an AB test within a sequence which was automated with some more options but to my knowledge and work with support this doesn't exist on either yet. This is quite complex and for the platform …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Mailchimp is easier to use and has a better flow when it comes to work. I haven't used Constant Contact in a very long time, but I do remember some aspects of it. Mailchimp is like an elevated version, and I love the drag-and-drop components for email campaigns.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
In my opinion, there is no comparison between the Chat & Messenger verses Intuit Mailchimp. I think Intuit Mailchimp's features far out weigh all other software I have tried of its kind and its user friendly functionality makes it even more appealing. I would not recommend …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Not as complex as some, but easy to use and cost effective for our clients.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Bonterra Development and Digital was much more robust and expensive than what we needed for an email marketing tool. Plus we already had Little Green Light for our database and with the API everything connects and a new/different database wasn’t needed.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Compared to rivals like Constant Contact or Benchmark, Mailchimp boasts more robust testing capabilities. Its intuitive interface and wealth of integrations also make it ideal for streamlining marketing stacks. While powerful, alternatives like HubSpot may offer deeper …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
I have since migrated away from Mailchimp.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
GetResponse's IT needed improving. It often would not send our emails due to technical difficulties on their part. For that reason, we left and subscribed to Mailchimp.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Mailchimp is more suited to subscriber communication while Mailshake is preferred for cold email outreach. The database functionality in Mailchimp is superior to that of Mailshake. It's also easier to segment audiences and update contact information in Mailchimp. Mailchimp has …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Mailchimp is a great tool for smaller businesses and businesses just starting out. It is easy to learn and generally have very few glitches. SharpSpring was very hard to operate and the EDM's we created looked clunky and dated. My company have just started moving over to …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Mailchimp is the better choice for small businesses, but it starts to lose its power and luster when you scale and want more power, features, and email-focused reliability. As a jack of all trades, it gets the job done—but it's now the email powerhouse on the block.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
Mailchimp is the primary marketing email platform we use. I have not reviewed a competitor of them.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
The free plan of Mailchimp works well for middle and small scale businesses. It offers a rich library of email templates and powerful analytics to support the lead generation and brand awareness initiatives of the organization. Customization of templates is a piece of cake …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
The UX/UI experience is better which makes it seem like it's better, when they are both very similar on terms of features.
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
I would say that Mailchimp is better than MailerLite in terms of its abilities. It has the capacity to do more than simple newsletters but does hit a cap fairly quickly. It is a much more affordable price point than ActiveCampaign and Hubspot. It also has wide adoption so lots …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
We haven't used anything else except to look over a client's shoulder with their system.

It seems like Constant Contact was in the same space of having a poor interface and analytics, dated templates, and built more for promotional email. I think they're both improving, and for …
Chose Intuit Mailchimp
MailChimp has much better UI and features when it comes to email marketing compared with Hubspot. The templates library is very rich as well and reporting and analytics are similar.

Pros
Mailchimp
  • Mailchimp allows you to manage your mailing list really well. You can subscribe people, unsubscribe people manage the mailing list directly into segments, and what not.
  • Mailchimp has features where you can create campaigns based on your mailing lists and send out newsletters to your subscribers based on a multitude of parameters that you can setup. Such as send email daily, weekly, monthly and they also have event based mails that you can send out.
  • Mailchimp also has a feature where you can design your emails. The look and aesthetics are very important when sending emails to your subscribers and all those needs are addressed here.

Cons
Mailchimp
  • The interface remains a cluttered, non-intuitive mess. That's true from the haphazard way features are organized to the actual email layout.
  • Analytics have never been a priority, and I don't see that changing with Intuit's new ownership. I'm very frustrated over the limited choices for reporting, even when using third-party solutions. If I needed that function, I would not use MailChimp.
  • I would love to develop a workflow screen that lets me focus on the things that I use all the time. Customizing the interface where the content actually goes into the software would help.
  • I never understood why we couldn't import a document into a MC template. At best, we're spending time copying-and-pasting from one app into MC.

We've had Mailchimp for about ten years, I want to say. I started with the company about four years ago, and I don't see us ever diverting to another source. It's easy for us to use, and we have all our clients already built into the database. I imagine we'll use them for as long as we have the company.

Usability
Mailchimp
Our team use Mailchimp almost every week. Overall UI is simple for anyone to get started with it. The resource library around using particular features is also there, so we don't have to train our team on this product. We also used a lot of other features as well.

Reliability and Availability
Mailchimp
I have, in the 4+ years that I've used Mailchimp, never seen an issue that restricted the use of their software/tools. I don't know of a single time when they're system crashed or went down. I could be wrong, but I honestly haven't experienced any issues with outages, errors or unplanned downtime

Performance
Mailchimp
I haven't noticed any slow speeds from Mailchimp or their tools. I think the landing pages load quickly and look nice. The email reports and editing operates smoothly and doesn't take time to load. Additionally, when I use Mailchimp in conjunction with Zapier + Hubspot I don't notice any drag between any of these tools

Support Rating
Mailchimp
Website tools were easy to use and understand so a novice can easily meet or exceed their client's expectations! Loved that we were able to totally customize so that the e-mail we created conveyed our client's overall messaging consistent with their branding! Client love that we can provide turnkey services to support their sales and marketing teams!

Implementation Rating
Mailchimp
It's pretty easy to get up and running! There's a slight learning curve on a few things, but once you find where everything is located, you can import your list and send your first email. It really makes our clients feel great to see how quickly they can get that first email out.

Alternatives Considered
Mailchimp
Mailchimp is a means to an end and a way to stay within GDPR laws. We may not use it if this wasn't a requirement. Other platforms are better for design or management of contacts, but Mailchimp offers that secure storage of data that is required. I have not tried other bulk mail applications, so am unable to compare these.

Scalability
Mailchimp
Mailchimp over the years I've used it has grown in leaps and bounds. They have added so many additional features than were previously available. They are truly an all-in-one marketing platform now. If you're a small operation and just want to add email to your marketing efforts, they're there for you. If you're a larger operation and want to start sending postcard advertisements, they can do that. If you'd good with that and want to kick up your marketing by going social, you can do that on their platform. They are truly able to be as small as you need, but also get quite large in whatever it is you'd like to do through their system.

Return on Investment
Mailchimp
  • Mailchimp has allowed us to communicate effectively with thousands of customers with ease.
  • Mailchimp's use during our second year of business helped us expand our list of brands considerably (almost 30% YTD) because of regular interactions that we've launched.
  • Mailchimp ramp-up time is minimal for new users so I can turn things over to junior staff - saving me time and money.
