Pros
I used Mailchimp for abour 3 years and found to be easy to use, intuitive, and pretty visually pleasing in its interface.
Cons
I was on the free version, so I couldn't send out automated emails - this was what caused me to switch to MailerLite.

Pros
Easy to use, much like MailerLite. They give you a decent selection of templates and offer the product at no cost up to 2,000 subscribers and 12,000 emails.
Cons
It took me a little while to figure out how to resize, totally not their fault, just used to using a different program.

Pros
Mailchimp allows you to customize your subscribe forms and makes it easy to divide you list into groups. It's simple to use their template to create a simple Newsletter even if you're not tech savvy and it's free if you have fewer than 2000 subscribers.
Cons
It's more expensive than Mailerlite and the forms aren't as intuitive.

Pros
It's easy to use. I really like that; I could get something going to our distribution lists and manage all of our subscribers easily and fairly quickly. The designs and templates are well-constructed and the drag and drop interface is lovely. It's also a widely-used platform now and seems to integrate well with most servers. I like the reports manager as well.
Cons
WE ended up finding MailerLite, which has many similar editing and management features for a much, much more affordable subscription.

As I stated, it's great for first-time users, people with small mailing lists, and those who just want a simple CRM. Once it's starts getting into more advanced features, the functionality isn't 100% there, but if you're patient you can teach yourself tons of work-arounds to make MailChimp work for you.
Pros
It's free for up to a certain amount of subscribers and there isn't an approval process (like MailerLite) for instance.
Cons
I'm having difficulty setting up automatic monthly emails and had to pull some tricks out of my sleeve and watch tons of YouTube videos to find a work-around. It seems second nature to have a feature like this available, and unless it is with a paid version, it is something they certainly need to add. Overall, basic emails are simple but for more advanced functionality, trial and error is in your future.

Overall the features offered (Facebook and Instagram ads have been awesome) and the ability to send to an unlimited number of subscribers have been an easy sell for us. Definitely would recommend to companies who have a high number of subscribers they need to send out to.
Pros
Used to use MailerLite but it had a 10,000 subscriber limit which after a few years was no longer enough.
Cons
The unlimited is great to have since it saves us time being able to just send it out to everyone all at once, but the price sometimes can seem a bit high. It is however a necessity.

Overall, i think this is indeed an amazing app and it gets my job done quickly and smoothly
Pros
I've used mailchimp for close to 5 years now for my email marketing and newsletter campaigns and i must say i have derived real value for money. Their offerings are awesome and is one of the best platforms i have used so far. They have an interactive and easy to use interface that you can navigate with ease at first use. I also enjoy the fact that i can track every single email i send out and also monitor the recipients engagement with my newsletter. Uploading my subscriber list as a csv file is just perfect as i can't imagine having to enter the emails of my subscribers manually. The pay as you go option was simply ingenius as it helps me stay within budget. I cannot also forget to mention that they also have a plugin on wordpress to help me get details of my subscribers directly from the website
Cons
Mailchimp is amazing but in my opinion i think they are a bit pricey when compared to some competitors such as Mailerlite which offers similar packages and features for nearly half the price.

Pretty good all in all, generally I'd recommend MailChimp instead - but sometimes there's no choice!
Pros

Pros
MailerLite is a free email management program, like MailChimp, that makes creating landing pages, pop-ups, and email automation easy.

The price, which is much more reasonable & affordable for me than MailChimp (which is why I initially switched from MailChimp to MailerLite).

We used Mailerlite to send our newsletter and offers to our readers we have mixed feelings on Mailerlite because of that big tech issue we noted above In terms of competitors Mailchimp and Convertkit are excellent alternatives and we have had overall great expeirences with both platforms Aweber and Campaigner are terrible and we recommend avoiding them at all costs
Pros
This is an awesome ESP at an incredibly low price with tons of features built in (like mailchimp but more at a fraction of the cost), with excellent support
Cons
The only issue I had was deliverability was very low and since that is the key purpose of an ESP i had to lower my ratings - it could be was one time issue but it lasted many days (weeks?) with us and i have to note that in this review in case this happens more often - if it had higher deliverability it would be a ten out of ten

Hello Jacob,
Thank you for your review!
Sorry to hear you experienced deliverability issues. If that happens again, make sure to contact us via live chat or email info@mailerlite.com
Each deliverability issue can be very different so it needs to be investigated individually.
As an independent freelance writer, I use newsletters to keep in touch with potential readers. MailerLite, like many systems, jumps from a free version for up to 2000 people, to a paid version that is too expensive for an individual with a small business that makes little money. For a while I had lists with two different newsletter companies, but I eventually went with Elastic Email, which is not as easy to use, but is free for larger lists. For a company making enough ROI on newsletters, the simpler, paid versions are probably better.
Pros
I'd say it's comparable to other newsletter systems, such as MailChimp.
Cons
If you need to go beyond the 2000-person limits of the free version, it gets expensive quickly. I wish it had a per-newsletter fee, instead of a monthly fee, for those of us who don't send newsletters monthly or more often.

we love mailerlite. we initially were using mailchimp because it integrates with many wordpress themes and plugins, but mailchimp is unattractive.

Pros
- Great editor and an impressive set of starter templates; - Very competitive pricing; - Good stats and A/B testing tools.
Cons
- Onboarding process while moving from MailChimp could have been easier but most of it was aimed at protecting users from spammers, so I guess the minor hurdles are for the good of the ecosystem as a whole.

I switched from Mailchimp due to its price and found a very good substitute.
Pros
This is the best experience with a email marketing tool I've ever had. It's friendly, has all the basic features you need and then some really new interesting ones. The price is fair and support is just a click away in the chat box.
Cons
It's lacking some segmentation options and some auto-responder triggers, but with some work, it's possible to create a workaround. They have increased their prices recently for new users.

Mailerlite has been a great solution for sending emails to my lists, creating autoresponders, forms and popups in my website. A simple solution to grow my business via email marketing.
Pros
Mailerlite offers some really great extras in addition to the email broadcasting feature. I love that I can create pop-ups, landing pages as well as embedded forms. I think the variety of features for the price offers and excellent value.
Cons

If you are looking for affordable solution that offers same functionalities as MailChimp, you found one great alternative.
Pros
New MailerLite drag and drop mail editor is amazing! There are tons of block available for you to use. If you need header you just select header from dropdown menu and you are greeted with few general block. Every block is then easily customizable with tons of options which will certainly make your emails special. Recently they added quick survey block so you can ask your subsribers how much did they like your email on a scale from 1 to 10 so you no longer need to use any external source.
Cons
Custom fields are available but they offer only basic functionalites. I miss image tag and field desperately because I often send some personalized images and with MailerLite I need to use some other provider which offers that custom field. Also, their automation is not the best in the world. Few times some emails were sent when they souldnt be so I needed to apologise to my subscribers because folks at MailerLite screwed something up. I contacted their support and they didnt offer me nothing in return, just apologise.

Unfortunately, Mailchimp makes a much more compelling case, as its experience shows.
Pros
- Ease of use: The drag and drop interface in most sections means it's great for first-time user and veterans won't mind this way of composing newsletters, for example. - Integrations: It's easy to pair it with a WordPress blog and see it just work. - Lots of features: Since their earliest days, they only had email marketing. Now they've followed in Mailchimp's footsteps and introduced marketing automation, popups and landing pages.
Cons
- Very similar to Mailchimp, in terms of design, but still feels half-baked - Marketing automation features are nothing to write home about.

However, with Mailchimp now offering many of the same features in their free plan, I might look into switching back... as they feel a bit more reliable in the long-term.
Pros
Not only does MailerLite let me send out beautiful newsletters, they also offer email drip-campagins (sequences) as well as landing pages/thank you pages for FREE.
Cons
The software has been buggy at times, where I go to send a newsletter and it can't access my list of contacts. Customer service always gets back to me quickly, to let me know that they are working on fixing the issues, but it happened more than once, so I'm worried about the long-term reliability.
