Overall, MailerLite is a decent option for those who are looking for a cheaper CRM. But I think it's worth a little more money for better functionality.
Pros
The best feature of this software was that their pricing per subscriber is on the low end of the CRMs I have seen.
Cons
Their dashboard and functionality feels limited compared to other CRMs I have used. It wasn't as easy to setup auto sequences as I would have liked.

Pros
It's cheaper than other competitors. They have a free monthly plan for 1000 subscribers and you can send unlimited emails.
Cons
In spite the cheap price for a paid plan some tools are not included (reporting, social integrations).

Email campaigns at low costs.
Pros
We moved to Mailerlite because their prices where more convenient to our needs. If you are looking for something that works at a low price, this is your choice.
Cons
That the design interphase was not as good as Mailchimp, and their reporting tool was also limited. Besides our open rates went down, maybe due to blacklisting.

Pros
This was my best first email software and it served me extremely well. The price is out of this world cheap, while the features are actually pretty good considering. It doesn’t have a a huge range of functionality for analytics and reporting but for this price point it’s a great tool.
Cons
It was missing a lot of analytics and reporting. This didn’t matter... until it really did.
Hello Keleigh,
Thank you for your review!
All of the new features or existing feature updates come from the feedback we receive from our clients. We take it very seriously and it helps us to improve MailerLite.
We do plan to improve our reporting functionality in the future.
Thank you!

My experience with MailerLite. After weeks of research on the best and most economic way on how to send weekly emails to the subscribers of my small business , I choose MailerLite. What a mistake ! It turned out to be one of the most painful experiences as a small business owner. After weeks of research on the best and most economic way on how to send weekly emails to the subscribers of my small business , I choose MailerLite. What a mistake ! It turned out to be one of the most painful experiences as a small business owner. I give them credit, when it is due : Easy to navigate interface and professionally pre-made templates seemed a perfect match for my needs. As a small business owner, my first goal was to find a bulk email software that is easy to use and has a friendly and responsive customer service. For years, I used one of the major bulk email software providers, but they have become really expensive compared to what you get in return for these email campaigns. Finally, I made my decision and enrolled in one of MailerLite plans that seemed very attractive; at least on the paper! 15000 subscribers and unlimited monthly emails for $30!! WOAH !!! what a great bargain. Right? Not that fast ! They were very quick to charge my business card for the $30. I spent few hours to create a perfect email and uploaded my mailing list of 15000. and start creating the first campaign on MailerLite. This is where the nightmare started. When I wanted to send out the email, I received an email from their support team that I am not allowed to use more than 2000. ( i paid for 15000 subscribers with unlimited monthly emails) . I told them that I won't have it that way and they should cancel my account. They reached out to me and assured me that everything would be fine, hey approved me for 5000 and promised to increase my quote after the first few emails to prevent spams. Fair enough! After sending out the emails, they told me that I have breached their spam policy since the hard bounce of my emails were more than a certain number that they allow. I was not very happy with their decision but again, its their policy and I have to follow it. So I accepted their decision and didn't argue with them. But this the same email list that I have used with the other major email provider. I knew this is a small company with few resources and I have made a mistake. Obviously, I didn't want to pay for a service that I am not allowed to use. quite simple. So, I ask them to cancel my subscription and refund me the $30 that they have charged me !!! They kept me waiting for almost 4 days and then they told me that they have decided to keep my money ?!!!!!, and obviously they have access to all the 15000 subscribers on mailing list !! Customer service is the forefront of a business and I am really sorry to say that theirs is NON-EXISTING. Since the goal of this review was to save others some time and un-wanted headache, I have not mentioned any of the other competitors that make a much better option. Since then, I have signed up to another provider for only $5 extra and I could not be happier. I learned my lesson , cheaper choice is not always a better one. It is wiser to pay a bit more and go with a company with a better customer service and more resources. If even you think that you won't have the same issue that I had with them, still think of your need of customer service at some point. I hope this has helped you in your search. Good luck!
Pros
You would get a Cheap service
Cons
You would loose your money. They blame you for their failure to just charge your credit card for no service. Their system can't deliver and then they blame you. read other reviews all over web. Many people have complained about their delivery rate. You would loose your mailing list to them.

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.

MailerLite is one of the tools we use to build landing pages, manage our mailing lists, setup our auto responders, and for engagement analysis.
Pros
MailerLite is really easy to use! Their are many attractive templates to use and the drag and drop editor is very intuitive! Sent bulk mailing from MailerLite also have a very low bounce rate with respect to both Google and Microsoft mail clients. The subscription price is also a bargain compared to other high performance bulk mailer out there!
Cons
Well, the trail period of 14-days is really short so it would be good if it were at least 30 days / 1 month.

We used them for a year or so, and I can honestly say this is a simple, cheap and quite powerful platform for most of the users.
Pros
The best part of MailerLite is simplicity - it is simple as a brick, but on the other hand when you need advanced features (automation, or anything) you can always find them. These features are there, but not disturbing low-level users, which is awesome.
Cons
Support. If they flag your account, or don't like your activity for any reason - there is almost no chance to negotiate with them.

Overall, I'm happy with the product at the low price point. If you need more features, I'd consider MailChimp instead though.
Pros
Ever used MailChimp? Then you pretty much know how to use MailerLite. It's essentially the same thing, minus just a few things. It's clearly the best budget option at a fraction the cost of MailChimp.
Cons
It doesn't integrate with a lot of other services, such as RaffleCopter, which can be frustrating. I also had an issue recently with emails getting sent to spam.

It's the best option I've found for email marketing. It provides a ton of features at an affordable price.
Pros
It provides an amazing amount of control. Email campaigns can be sent based on where and how the person signed up, what links they clicked or didn't click in the last email campaign and more. Mailerlite makes everything easy. It's simple enough for beginners but provides enough features and control to be useful to experienced email marketers.
Cons
There have been periodic issues with deliverability, but these are usually cleared up quickly.

Pros
The customer service and value. They are always quick to respond to questions, and their pricing is way lower than other services.
Cons
It could be a little more intuitive, and have a few more software features. There are other mailing services that have a little more in-depth tools, but I'm sure Mailerlite will implement them as they go along.

Pros
It's easy to use - the interface intuitive.
It's cheaper than the competitors. Good customer support.

Occasional glitches. Open rates aren't accurate (I think that's a problem across the different providers). The segmentation isn't intuitive.

Pros
MailerLite is an awesome alternative to other autoresponders out there, it has great value for a fair price and the functionalities are awesome !
Cons
It's still a tiny bit complex to use but I'm sure it's because it's still new, I will not worry about that as the interface is overall very clear.

Pros
The price, which is much more reasonable & affordable for me than MailChimp (which is why I initially switched from MailChimp to MailerLite). I also like the features, which I think are state-of-the-art, at least for my needs. The customer service is also great, and they're always trying to better their product, which I appreciate.
Cons
I honestly don't have any criticisms to make, not even constructive ones. Though it's reasonably priced, I suppose it could be a little less expensive (as could most everything these days), but that's about it.

Affordable, easy to use, added value with landing pages/popups
Pros
I have used MANY services and Mailerlite is hands down the best. That is the truth and I am in no way incentivized for this review. It is affordable, especially when your list gets pretty large. It is easy to use and you can create exactly the email you want very quickly. They let you customize your opt in/opt out pages and it's easy to do. Another super cool feature is they let you make pop ups/ embedded forms, and even landing pages! That is stuff others don't offer or even charge more for.
Cons
I really do not have any complaints. There are a couple times I thought of going to a self hosted mailing list, but mailerlite is so perfect for me I don't want to leave.

Overall: As a digital marketing agency. It is easy to integrate MailerLite account with my WordPress Websites by using the available WordPress plugin. Sales automations is made easy without any technical experience required. The Ease-Of-Use of MailerLite has increased my email list and also guarantees successful delivery of email campaigns to the intended recipients.
Pros
Mailerlite provides a complete email marketing solution.
What makes it unique from others is its EASE OF USE.
The intuitive and user-friendly interface makes it easy to design beautiful and highly converting landing pages and pop-up forms.
Their dashboard makes it easy to manage subscribers.
The price is flexible and affordable relatively compared to the value gotten from the service.
Cons
As simple and easy Mailerlite is, the least thing I liked about Mailerlite is the fact that I find it difficult to get new accounts approved even though all requirements are met verifying with a custom email account.
And the support team doesn't have any tangible reason to backup their claims.
As this is the main problem I've been facing because I'd love to integrate Mailerlite on my clients' website.

Hands down the best customer support I've received in all of 2019. You can reach out via email or live chat and they even respond when you leave a comment on a help article to help you solve everything. And the people answering are actually knowledgeable in the product. They work to understand your problem and needs and offer a solution that does it (if one exists).
Pros
Their support is outstanding. Software wise - you get all of the features a typical email marketer wants. There are no absurd pricing tiers where the one feature you need is bundled in the most expensive tier.
Cons
The drag and drop builder could allow for more customization of elements, but I understand that it's not an easy thing to develop.

Good to use if you are starting out since it's free up to 1000 subscribers and still relatively cheap once you start paying.

Great deliverability! My emails are not going to spam or promotions tab. It's easy to use, and not buggy and slow.

Mailerlite is much easier to use than MailChimp. I have not compared it to other competitors though. Even though it is simple it is very powerful and offers a lot of information. The free plan is a great value if you don't have a large number of subscribers.
Cheaper than others.

I've tried a lot of email marketing services and this is by far my favorite. Their team is open to suggestions and it's not uncommon to ask for a feature and see it implemented a few months later. They also have regular webinars that teach you not only hot to better use their product but also how to improve your email marketing overall.
Pros
The value for the money and the fact that the team keeps improving the product and has been loyal to their early adopters by grandfathering in their pricing. Their support is amazing.
Cons
There have been a few glitches over the years, but they always take responsibility and make it right. There have been deliverability problems in the past, but they've improved and are now one of the top companies for deliverability.
