Mailchimp vs Gmail Comparison

Its very easy to use. I love the preset templates and all the tips theoughout the creation process. My favorite is the extra assistance with Subject lines to help ensure your letters get opened and not sent to Spam.

My own newsletter emails auto filter into my Promotions tab at gmail so I'm sure we lose clicks with other gmail accountholders too.

What I liked the most about mailchimp was that emails outgoing hit my employees inbox almost instantly. Mail chimps' servers must be turbo charged.

I don't really have any cons about this service.

I am able to email members of our congregation with an appealing, professional email design using my colors, graphics and content without a costly subscription. I am able to view analytics on bounced addresses, those wishing to discontinue receiving emails and how many times the email was opened. Very helpful!

I use this software for free. Therefor I am comfortable with the shortcomings of the program as those are available in the paid version. I can live with MailChimp branding in the few emails I send each year.

I like that I can create newsletters easily and integrate it with my WordPress sites. I also like that I can get started for free.

Sometimes I can't use Gmail accounts with Mailchimp. Using a Gmail account causes a delay in sending the campaigns or it goes directly to spam

Mailchimp has a clean interface and has an amazing allowance on their free tier - which allows you to build out your audience before you have to start paying.

Sometimes delivery rates aren't the greatest in GMAIL inboxes.

Makes it easy to send out multiple marketing emails

It is seen as a spam email on gmail and outlook

I love Mailchimp the most because I can link the sign up toms to my website. Plus, it's fairly easy to use.

I wish gmail are capable with it. My main email I use for business if a gmail and a lot of my newsletters sent out go directly into spam mail

the fact that you can mass send emails to your subscribers is awesome

hard to figure out as far as i know there's not much material available to learn the software

Easy to use, not many features and so not as many buttons to click around with either!

Not as many features as gmail, not as nice of an interface either; gmail definitely wins in terms of dealing with complexity of emails and having an interface to deal with it

Mailchimp is easy to use and you can integrate it with your email but Gmail will block it from working because they want you to use their Gmass service. Mailchimp I feel works better.

I did not use it long enough to find any fault to it except that I couldnt actually get the most out of it because gmail blocked it from working properly

This was honestly a really big deal for my past school to consolidate communication to a shared access newsletter to have one consistent weekly newsletter. Mailchimp made that process easy and make a lot of sense.

I guess I think it would be nice if it was embedded right into gmail.

I like that it's easy to use and integrates with most of the plugins that I use for my clients.

Sometimes it gets difficult to use with clients who don't have email outside of Yahoo or Gmail.

We use mailchimp for creating newsletters for our customers. There are a lot of nice designs and it’s very easy in use. The editor is amazing: you can easily add or change is things. Also the price is very nice.

Overall I am very satisfied with Mailchimp. However, newsletters Sent to Gmail accounts are often marked as “promotional”

I like using MailChimp and I am preferring this application over any other email marketing application

Easy, straight forward, can have different mailing list and also it has many ready templates

I loved how easy it was to send mass emails to different mailing groups. Really expedited the process and helped better organize our cluttered email lists!

Could be better integrated with services like gmail, who offer similar services but are more difficult to use effectively.

Mailchimp gives you a simple way to connect with your customers/audience and communicate your mission

When Mailchimp incorporated into Gmail, I experienced a couple hiccups. However, things smoothed out, and the platform works seamlessly now.

When faculty get emails from us, the correspondence looks like it comes from the university's Gmail account.

Like any product, there is a little bit of a learning curve, but nothing that would keep me from recommending it.

Free software, easy to create attractive campaigns to send to clients. Scheduling feature is handy to maximize best times to reach targets. Tracking of progress is also valuable.

Sending from a gmail account has limitations and I wish this could be overcome. Otherwise have been happy with software.

I love the unpaid feature for my industry with low income. It's fairly intuitive to use, and the saved templates from previous campaigns are very useful.

Occasionally email addresses from Yahoo or Hotmail (or anything other than Gmail) don't get delivered. It can be a problem

The Mailchimp software was very easy to learn and teach my team. We use it to keep the contact with interested tenants in our leasing business.

I wish the software would work thur Gmail for response, we do have to manually enter each tenant that is interested.

Drag and drop of email adresses. It keeps private all other users Ive sent the same email to. Pretty nifty to use.

No longer able to use with gmail or icloud email addreses. Only hosts of ones own domain. Still a great tool.

Mailchimp is a quick and rather easy way to set up and send mass emails and newsletters to customers or leads. Good reporting capabilities and a quick sending process.

Often your emails will be ignored by recipients because they'll always go to the Promotions tab (in Gmail). significantly reducing visibility.

easy to download, signup and get started one can receive quite a huge number of emails from subscribers for free, so its affordable for small businesses, l use it for my blog, and its affordable for me since lm just beginning so compatible with WordPress, its doing wonders for my blog, l get plenty of feedback easy to use it gives automated registration forms for my website, super cool and l get delivery notifications too

its incompatible with my gmail, well that sucks its not available in my language shona, or any other language as well.

I really like the automation and how easy it is to use when making a promotion strategy through gmail

I have no arguments to say that mailchimp has drawbacks but I don't like its monthly cost, it should be cheaper

This was a free add on into gmail. It's easy to use and to keep track of who has received and opened emails.

Like all free versions, there's the ad on the email. It doesn't sync with outlook so can only be used in gmail online.

I use several email marketing products, from hubspot, to MailChimp, outlook and others. There's no better email management app than this and this one is free.

Nothing to point out to any amazing google product

Easy setup to almost any device Auto safe passwords and no issues backing up data Compatibility for other products such as "MailChimp" is done with ease Interface user friendly

Could have more options in regards to groups and editing tools for business Updates more regularly Customer Service could be a little better in response time and problem resolvement

I have the ability to manage unlimited Gmail accounts at a time, and they also grant users the ability to send 500 to 2,000 emails per day, all for free at no charge.

I do not recommend Gmail for email marketers who have big email lists, you can go ahead and utilize other email marketing tools like Amazon SES, Mailchimp, AB Bulk Mailer or GetResponse.
