    MailerLite is heads and heels above the others. It is easier to use and allows more subscribers before wanting more money

    Chose MailerLite
    We have tried a couple of others but not in any depth. I found the pricing structure of MailerLite better for our early needs as we didn't know how we would use it, and how that use would evolve as we grew.

    Chose MailerLite
    I moved to Constant Contact from MailerLite as the reporting and segmentation was deeper. But the editor and the lack of decent forms and landing pages soon brought me back to MailerLite.

    Mailchimp got too expensive.

    Chose MailerLite
    It's cheaper and way better supported. Unlike Mailchimp, MailerLite supports small businesses and does not charge until you hit 1,000 subscribers.

    It seemed complicated to me, MailerLite is easier to use and more transparent.

    MailerLite offers a similar service to MailChimp, but is less expensive. Hopefully the customer service with MailerLite will be better even with the tiered structure of customer service.

    I didn't have much luck when testing other similar tools and since we tested with free plan, we couldn't commit to something else if we couldn't get basic stuff fixed. That's when we switched to MailerLite, and their support was great and super helpful all the way (during our free plan, especially). Plus, they're super budget-friendly for startups, so I highly recommend.

    Pros
    Mailerlite
    • Offers a user-friendly interface, making it simple to create beautiful forms, group subscribers, and automate emails.
    • Includes email automation workflows in their free plan - the only provider I know of that doesn't charge you after one month or hit you with "transaction fees".
    • Excellent video tutorial library so you can learn email marketing as a beginner without feeling overwhelmed.

    Cons
    Mailerlite
    • EVERYONE should be allowed to at least use the AI bot chat feature. This doesn't take a person and is such basic customer service that it should be offered at all levels.
    • It would be nice if MailerLite worked better with AddEvent icons
    • When emailing support it took days to get a response (after an agent escalated the issue). Some concerns are more urgent and email support shouldn't mean bad support.

    Mailerlite is awesome and it does everything I need and then some. They're always innovating and adding new features, and their team is flippin' amazing. Can't see myself ever switching. They may not have everything, but looking at how well their team works, they'll get there for sure and I'm willing to wait.

    Usability
    Mailerlite
    I find it very easy to use, intuitive with a clean interface and drag and drop functionality where that adds value. It's quite configurable for our brand and the template and duplication options are very useful as we reuse a lot of content.

    Whenever I contact Support, either via email or through online chat, I always get a speedy response that gives me the answer I need. The AI Agent on the online chat is excellent and has helped me so much on numerous occasions.
