Overall Satisfaction with MailerLite

Their support is awesome... and FREE... one of the reasons I jumped off of Mailchimp, who seems to be pinching their pennies these days and grabbing anything they can get from every account they have, even if they have a marginal user base. Anyway, I jumped from Mailchimp to MailerLite and have had two support tickets, both of which were high-quality and very responsive -- even on a weekend. It's not the product you build but the product you support. Nice work, MailerLite.

Pros

  • Support
  • Forms/Builder
  • Onboarding

Cons

  • The only detractor is that they do not support pre-filled email addresses
  • Oh, and I couldn't make my custom form work with their form post/action. No biggie, however.
  • It saved me $13/mo that I was going to have to pay Mailchimp. Seriously, Mailchimp, learn to squeeze the right people. You're paying $24k/year for your X accounts alone, and you never use them!
The interface is pretty clean and intuitive. Feels snappy, too.
It's cheaper and way better supported. Unlike Mailchimp, MailerLite supports small businesses and does not charge until you hit 1,000 subscribers.

Yes

Yes

Did implementation of MailerLite go as expected?

No

Would you buy MailerLite again?

Yes

Not bad for free. :D But I would have liked to be able to pre-fill the user's email address if they are logged in. Nothing infuriates me more than to be asked for my email address by an application when I have already provided it on account creation. Now I am passing the same grief to my customers when they sign up for the newsletter. With Mailchimp I was able to prefill the address, but currently I cannot with MailerLite. I am told it's on their feature list which would be really valuable and appreciated if it gets completed.
