Overall Satisfaction with MailerLite
MailerLite was used by the Communications department to send press releases and other important announcements to local news stations, chambers of commerce, and other constituents. Our distribution list is small and I needed a quick and easy way to distribute these announcements from my laptop or phone. I was looking for something more streamlined than Mailchimp, but still had features that we could grow into. MailerLite's fresh and simple interface was intriguing and the features were on par with other big names.
- List management
- Scheduled sends
- Easy to use templates
- Onboarding was difficult when setting up a non-paid account to try it out.
- Compared to other services, emails from MailerLite were opened less often (your milage may vary).
- MailerLite is nicer to use than similar services.
MailerLIte is streamlined and overall nicer to use than Mailchimp. This may have changed since I used it last, but emails sent by MailerLite seemed to not get as many opens as those sent by Mailchimp. For that reason, I switched back to Mailchimp. I would be willing to give MailerLite another chance.
