MailPoet vs Mailchimp
Not all email solutions are the same. MailPoet is the most popular email plugin for WordPress. Mailchimp is the most popular email solution in the world. Let’s compare the pair.
MailPoet
Feel at Home with WordPress
MailPoet works the moment you activate. Since you already know WordPress, get started sending emails in minutes with our beautiful collection of templates and intuitive drag-and-drop builder. No learning curve here, just a friendly and familiar interface.
MailPoet
Simple Design Tools
We designed our drag-and-drop builder to be intuitive enough for anyone to use, no matter how experienced you are. With fewer and more focused design options, you’ll quickly master MailPoet and get emails into your subscribers’ inboxes faster.
MailPoet
Unlimited Lists and Emails
No need to worry about exceeding restrictions placed on the number of lists you can have, or the number of emails you can send. With MailPoet these are unlimited! Our plans are based on the number of subscribers you have – not on the amount of emails you send, or how many lists you’ve got.
The best email marketing plugin on the market
I was a user of Mailchimp for many years but quite frankly the prices are getting ridiculous! Then I found MailPoet and I can’t believe how amazing it is, it communicates with your WordPress site more than any other email campaign manager and it’s being worked on constantly so I can only see this getting better and better. Keep up the amazing work! – @jimmypbai
