Pros
Mail chimp is very intuitive to use. Most things can be done with drag and drop. This allows for anyone to have a professional look to their emails and have access to good data to evaluate their email successes and where to improve. Mail chimp also has a good understanding of various benchmarks for emails to help users know what to reasonably expect for open rates and click rates etc.
Cons
Mail chimp is a larger company and they store their data across different regions. For those who require their databases to be stored domestically this would be an issue.

One of the features I love about MailChimp and I’m yet to find in SendinBlue or Benchmark email is the ability to have an image header in the signup form.
Pros
Mailchimp is easy, it is also the go-to email marketing software for small businesses and bloggers. It is easy to use, the signup form allows more customization options than most email marketing softwareS. The free plan allows 2000 subscribers.
Cons
The templates compared to other Softwares like SendinBlue, Active Hosted, Mailpoet, and Benchmark is a bit basic. The free plan while great has so many restrictions, the areas I'm concerned about are support and automation which the free plan doesn't deliver when compared to SendinBlue

Recommendations to others considering Mailchimp
Mailchimp is a great email marketing solution for beginners, the interface is clean and there are less chances of being overwhelmed. The free plan is great for bloggers or those who want to start focusing on building their list. As your skill increases you would need to upgrade or try a different Email marketing software because the free plan doesn't come with several important features.
Pros
In the past I used Mailchimp but nowdays as a Free autoresponder I use Benchmark.
Cons
Currently, the only con I can think of would be the user interface design which could be improved.

Benchmark helped us keep all of our data organized and made it easy to connect with our supporters.
Pros
Eventually we switched to Mailchimp because it allowed us more options for special offers and was easier to integrate with other systems.
Cons
Benchmark does not offer as much as mailchimp for tracking, growth, and integration.

Thanks for the review! I know our integration options aren't as extensive as some of our competitors but we are working fast to expand these. Thank you for your business and we wish you the best! :)
This is now a real rival to the Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor calibre offerings.

I'm almost always on the lookout for free marketing software's to test out and after using SendinBlue and MailChimp, I wanted something with email marketing automation similar to MailChimp but with a smooth UI and design the abilities of MailChimp.
Pros
Simple email editor, The free plan comes with features for beginners to email marketing or for bloggers and small businesses.
Cons
The email automation in the freeplan only allows one-off emails like welcome emails. What i wanted was to create drip campigns such as email courses but unfortunately the free plan doesnt allow that. I wish they had stated what the freeplan can and cannot do before i signed up, because i was looking forward to A/B testing, indepth reports and creating drip campigns but the free plan doesn't allow that.

Hello Abigail,
Thank you for the detailed review! In regards to the image on your signup form, we made some improvements to our signup form tools and you should be able to add in an image to the form. Please contact our support team if you have questions on how to do this. We thank you for using our service and sharing the good word with the world! Please keep an eye out for some new automation tools. :)
I have used MailChimp and I have found a benchmark to be the best of all!

Recommendations to others considering Benchmark Email
Don't assume you have to use mailchimp to get all the services you are looking for and remember you can't put a value on the one on one support available.
I'll be going over to Mailchimp or Constant Contact... they'll at least make an effort to win my business.
Pros
Easy to use.
Cons
The support received from the company over a simple error with an email "opens" report.

Don't bother. Go with a better known platform and save time.
