Mailchimp

Mailchimp is listed for small businesses and creators, with recorded capabilities including email marketing, automation, audience management. Check that your required features are included in the plan you would buy.

ToolScout view

Mailchimp makes sense for a small organization that needs accessible email campaigns, audience management and basic reporting without building an elaborate marketing operations stack. Its templates and campaign workflow are a straightforward starting point. The buying risk is scale: the free plan currently includes 250 contacts, 500 sends per month and 250 sends per day, with deeper automations and segmentation restricted by tier. A growing newsletter can therefore move into paid pricing long before its editorial workflow becomes complicated. Choose Mailchimp for relatively simple campaigns; compare Brevo when a much larger stored audience and a different sending model matter more.

Before you choose: Forecast billable contacts, daily and monthly email sends, automation steps and the number of team members needing access. Editorial assessment 2026-10-08. First-party documentation informed this editorial assessment.
