Escrow Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for marketing!" April 29, 2026 5.0 Overall, the experience with Mailchimp is great. Most of it is simple to use and tries to be as 'touchless' as possible, automating much of the process for contacting clients or potential clients. Pros Mailchimp has a lot of options and features that make it easy for marketing to clients in virtually any field. The user interface is simple to use, yet still makes a lot of the process automated. Cons The subscription cost isn't horrible, but I do feel like it could be better. It's a little difficult (for me at least) to manage the clients/contacts in the system. Review Source NS Nicole S. Lead Office Administrator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great communication software, easy to use" May 21, 2025 5.0 We use Mailchimp as the primary means of sending newsletters and bulletins to our school families and donors. Pros Ease of replicating successful emails, and great analytics. Ability to segment audiences is also very helpful for targeted messaging. Cons High prices for contacts. We are in Canada and prices are in USD, so if we acquire a mailing list and want to add it, the price shoots up exponentially. Review Source PM Paolo M. Market Research Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best Marketing Automation Tool I've used." March 17, 2025 5.0 Overall this tool offer ease and convenience of use with the power for us to promote items and services via newsletters through email,social media and landing pages from one location. Pros I use Mailchimp everyday for sending emails ,collecting data as well as an analytics tool for understanding market trends and customer behaviour.Easy to use and customize and its design is amazing. Automate data collection and provide custom dashboards and reports. Cons Mailchimp has limited customization for complex and company specific email designs. Switched from [MailerLite](https://www.capterra.com/p/136603/MailerLite/) More powerful automation with built in templates. Review Source Jade M. Digital Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The most known and easiest email marketing product" September 8, 2025 4.0 Mailchimp is the hallmark and most well known email marketing today. Tools you may need may cost a bit more but its reliable, polished, and easy to use. Pros Drag and drop makes email creation very intuitive and easy for beginners. Multiple automations make so many funnels easy to build out and integrations make it simpler. Cons A lot of useful features are paywalled and more advanced customization will need coding. Pricing does add up as subscriber list grows Review Source MD Maggie D. Management Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, Reliable Email Marketing " March 12, 2026 5.0 Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience using Mailchimp. It’s a reliable platform that makes email marketing straightforward and effective. It’s been a great tool for staying connected with my audience and managing campaigns without needing a lot of technical experience. Pros Mailchimp is very user-friendly and makes it easy to create professional looking email campaigns even if you’re not very tech-savvy. The drag-and-drop email builder is simple to use, automation tools are helpful, and it integrates well with other platforms. I also like the built-in analytics because it makes it easy to see open rates, clicks, and what’s actually working with my audience. Cons As your list grows, the pricing can increase pretty quickly compared to some other email marketing platforms. Also, some of the more advanced automation features are only available on higher-tier plans, which can be limiting for smaller businesses. But overall, still an excellent platform to use. Review Source EO Edgardo O. CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mailchimp review" April 7, 2025 5.0 I would highly recommend using Mailchimp. Even if it to practice until you get and fully understand what you are doing. Pros It let me stay in touch with my clients. They have different levels for your budget. This really helps when you are starting your business. Templates were easy to use. Templates were easy to modify as well. Cons For what it was the limit for the free version was a little low. I would have like to see it a little higher than it was. Support, If I remember correctly, needed to be paid for. So having an issue was a real mindbender Review Source Response from Intuit April 8, 2025 Thanks so much for the review, Edgardo! We’re glad Mailchimp has helped you stay connected with your clients and offered the flexibility you needed while starting your business. It’s great to hear the templates worked well for you too. We appreciate your feedback on the free plan and support options—it’s helpful as we continue to improve the experience. Thanks again for recommending us! CG Chelsea G. Marketing Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Email Maketing Tools" November 18, 2025 5.0 Good email marketing tool, with a small learning curve. It is user friendly, integrated and fast. It gives back useful data and allows you to make professional marketing easily. Pros Mailchimp makes email makreting so easy, it has a drag/drop style editing style, with a template library for paid accounts and integration with many other platforms, like Canva, Splose etc. Free plan can be used, as long as your mail list is smaller, otherwise you require paid apps with additional features Cons The pricing jumps very quickly, especially compared to competitors. When integrated your entire contact list comes across, which is great, however, some of ours we do not email, so we pay for them to be there for no purpose. Switched from [Brevo](https://www.capterra.com/p/132996/brevo/) Integration with our other CRM was important Review Source PG Paula G. Director Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User-friendly Admin Interface" April 25, 2026 5.0 User-friendly admin and ease of use. I have used other mass email sending platforms before that appear more clunky in the admin dashboard and harder to find settings. Mailchimp admin dashboard is straightforward and very clean. Pros The ability to send emails that I can uniquely design to a list of people, the ease and user-friendly interface of Mailchimp admin, and the ability to track individuals' interactions with the email (opening, clicking links, etc.) Cons I would prefer to get an email when people unsubscribe to the email list. Most of the people who I've had unsubscribe do so on accident (older generation who are not as tech-savvy). I don't always think to look for un-subscriptions in the email summary and then I go send another email to the same list, so the people who unsubscribed are not included moving forward and it may take me a bit to realize that. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Compliance Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ladder for Growing Audiences" April 17, 2026 3.0 very positive, particularly for mid-sized marketing campaigns that require a polished, professional look. Pros Content optimizer, I also love the "Creative Assistant," which automatically pulls your brand colors and logos from your website to build designs for you Cons price increase quickly, also the transition from a simple email tool to a full CRM has made the navigation slightly cluttered and more complex than it used to be. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ideal for Marketing & Promotion " March 29, 2026 5.0 As a Health Education Specialist for a small organization, it is my responsibility to disseminate communication, announcements, promotions and all marketing. This software makes the task extremely easy while also providing a variety of options for creativity. Pros Mailchimp is a great marketing tool to help communicate services, programs and announcements for any size organization or group. Additionally, Mailchimp is extremely user friendly and provides tools to help assist with tasks. Cons Mailchimp is extremely user friendly and functional. There are not any features that I see that needs improving. Review Source BP Brennan P. Owner Operator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Steadfast Chiropractic Mailchimp Review" April 23, 2025 4.0 Overall Mailchimp is a great service for creating automated communications with my patient base. This made it easier for us educate and inform our patients about chiropractic and also events and ongoings in the office. Pros My favorite part about using Mailchimp is that it allowed me to create email campaigns for the patients in my chiropractic office. This allowed me create a reusable template to help educate my patient base with ease. Cons The thing that I liked the least about Mailchimp is that I was not able to be as creative as I would like with the imagery and content of the emails. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Newsletter Email Platform with easy builder" August 31, 2025 5.0 Overall very happy with this platform and like it more that ConstantContact. I would recommend it to everyone that wants to send out mass emails to customers and keep track of everything. Pros Easy setup and creation of a newsletter without HTML knowledge. Integration with Shopify makes it helpful and worth it. The interface is clean and menu options can be found easily. Managing Contact emails with filters and tags is very helpful. Cons Sometimes emails that are created do not look the same in Outlook desktop and it is difficult to troubleshoot on why that it. Sending tests can sometimes take a little longer than it should. Review Source SK Sam K. Real Estate Salesperson Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Does What it Needs to, But not Much More" November 12, 2025 3.0 Overall, I think Mailchimp is the best software I have found to create interactive email marketing materials, but I do wish that there were some additional capabilities within the platform to make everything even more seamless. Pros I appreciate that Mailchimp is relatively easy to use when it comes to creating interactive marketing materials for email distribution. I can create new emails quickly and efficiently with minimal hassle, and use pre-saved client lists. Cons I feel that while Mailchimp is very good at making things efficient, they are lacking a bit in the flexibility of the actual design. I often find that I have to upload images that I have created in other platforms in order to get the design that I want from the platform, where it would be much easier if the capability to create exactly what I wanted existed within the platform itself. Review Source Rick O. Marketing Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great, But There Are Less Expensive Alternatives" October 28, 2025 3.0 Using Mailchimp is an easy experience, even for someone without any real design training. It's pretty much just drag and drop and fill out your own copy. Pros It is really easy to get started setting up email campaigns and importing contacts. The analytics are really great too. Cons The cost. It is extremely expensive if you have a large list of subscribers. That is a really important thing to consider, especially if you are just running small campaigns. Switched from [Constant Contact](https://www.capterra.com/p/31898/Constant-Contact/) Mailchimp came highly recommended by another colleague. Review Source CÁ Constanza Á. Localization and Testing Specialist Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for marketing and internal newsletters" April 23, 2025 4.0 Pros I really like how user-friendly it is. Setting up campaigns, designing emails with the drag-and-drop editor, and tracking performance is all super intuitive. The automation features save me a ton of time, and the analytics help me understand what’s working and what’s not. Cons Some of the advanced features take a bit of learning if you’re not super tech-savvy. And the free version is a bit limited. Alternatives considered [Moosend](https://www.capterra.com/p/147042/Moosend/)[Brevo](https://www.capterra.com/p/132996/brevo/) Reason for choosing Mailchimp because it offers a perfect balance of ease-of-use and powerful features Review Source SM Soren M. Director of Operations Child Day Care Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mailchimp has been helpful for our small buisness!" March 4, 2026 5.0 Pros Mailchimps has a sleek design and it is so easy to work with. It helps me keep track of who I communicate with on a daily basis. Cons Mailchimp could use more development in filtering spam and providing aditional features towards tracking communication Review Source PS Peter S. Backend Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mailchimp Review" March 23, 2026 5.0 It was very easy to use, fast, reliable and its boost my productivity. I will surely recommend it always Pros It’s very easy to integrate for sending bulk emails to my other business customers and the mail delivery time is unmatched Cons It was quite challenging making use of the api in my NodeJs server. It takes lot of time to get it to work Review Source EL Elke L. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great design and usability – but the pricing ruined it" July 13, 2025 4.0 It’s still one of the best platforms when it comes to design freedom and polish. But compared to other tools in the same category, it became far less accessible – unless you’re willing to pay significantly more. Pros I really liked working with Mailchimp. The flexibility in designing landing pages, sign-up forms, and emails was fantastic – visually, it’s one of the strongest tools I’ve used. The user interface is clean and intuitive, and I always felt in control of how things looked and behaved. Cons Unfortunately, Mailchimp changed their pricing model so drastically that many essential features – like segmentation or managing different contact lists – became locked behind higher-paid plans. Over time, even basic functionality was stripped from the free version. That made it harder and harder to justify staying, especially as a small business. Review Source CC Caitlin C. Client Success Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable and User-Friendly Email Marketing Platform" June 6, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Mailchimp has been positive. It’s an excellent platform for small to mid-sized organizations looking to run email marketing campaigns with ease. The interface is sleek, and the learning curve is relatively low. While there are a few limitations when it comes to advanced segmentation and automation, Mailchimp delivers great value for its core features. It's a great starting point for teams wanting to improve engagement without heavy technical lift. Pros Mailchimp is very user-friendly and intuitive. It makes it easy to design and send professional-looking emails, even for someone without a technical background. The drag-and-drop editor is simple to use, and the layout options are clean and modern. I especially appreciated how easy it was to manage subscriber lists and segment audiences for targeted campaigns. The automation tools are also quite helpful for scheduling and nurturing campaigns without needing constant oversight. Cons While the platform is easy to use, some of the more advanced features—like conditional content, dynamic personalization, and automation workflows—can feel a bit limited or clunky compared to other platforms. Additionally, as the list size grows, the pricing becomes less competitive. The reporting dashboard is functional but could benefit from more customization and deeper insights without needing to export to other tools. Review Source Michelle R. Communications Co-Chair Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MailChimp is the best Chimp" May 10, 2026 5.0 Mailchimp is our go-to for monthly newsletters to our subscribers. It's easy to use for the most part, and easily accommodates distribution lists and allows for people to opt in or out which is very helpful and reduces admin labor. Pros Mailchimp is amazing and so easy for sending out newsletters and regular communication to a larger community. The editing options and readability of the product that is sent out is very high quality and effective. Cons It takes a little bit of "playing around" with the features and functions when you first use it, but it is designed for different campaigns and it is successful in that realm. Review Source BB Bonnie B. Lead System Analyst Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent for Simple Emails, Overcomplicated as a Budding CRM" February 10, 2025 4.0 On the whole, since we're just using it for email marketing to specific groups, it's been decent. Particularly since non-technical users can use that functionality. But when it comes to trying to use other functions, ever since the merger with Intuit, it's been harder to use. Pros Mailchimp has a simple builder that makes it usable by any of our staff to quickly build and deploy an email. Cons Over the years, Mailchimp has tried to become a CRM, as a result, the admin ui has become quite painful and hard to navigate. Things are not where you would expect them to be. It's like they kept building out to a house without thinking about how all the rooms connected. Alternatives considered [Emma by Marigold](https://www.capterra.com/p/75428/Emma/) Reason for choosing Mailchimp We were looking for a solution for some of our less technically-inclined users for some specific segments and Mailchimp hits that spot for us. Review Source JS John S. New Business Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mailchimp made surveys easy" April 9, 2025 5.0 I started with a free plan, and then opted for a paid plan. After utilizing multiple survey building programs, I found Mailchimp to be my favorite. It has a great user interface, and it integrates easily with Shopify and Salesforce. Pros The thing I liked most about Mailchimp was the ease of use. It was the most user friendly way i've found, in my experience, for building surveys to do market research. Cons What I like least about Mailchimp is that even if a contact unsubscribes, you still have to pay for that contact being in your contact list. Switched from [SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) Mailchimp was simply a better fit for our company. Review Source PO Patricia O. Sr Project Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Reliable and User-Friendly Email Marketing Platform" July 14, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Mailchimp has been very positive. It’s a powerful all-in-one platform that made it easy to design professional emails, manage contacts, and run automated campaigns. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and their customer support and tutorials helped me get up to speed quickly. Pros Mailchimp is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive, even for those without a marketing background. I especially love the drag-and-drop email builder, the pre-designed templates, and the ability to automate campaigns with ease. Their reporting dashboard is also super helpful for tracking performance and optimizing future emails. Great tool! Cons The pricing can escalate quickly as your contact list grows, which may be a drawback for small businesses on a tight budget. Some advanced features, like custom automations and A/B testing, are only available on higher-tier plans. Alternatives considered [Constant Contact](https://www.capterra.com/p/31898/Constant-Contact/)[VerticalResponse](https://www.capterra.com/p/61128/VerticalResponse/) Reason for choosing Mailchimp I chose Mailchimp because of its reputation, ease of use, and all-in-one functionality. Compared to other tools, it offered a more intuitive interface, better free plan features, and seamless integration with the platforms I already use. Review Source TS Travis S. Communications Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great, if you need all of what it provides." April 2, 2025 4.0 Overall, MailChimp is a great product, although we don't use it for the extended marketing campaigns it can provide, so the cost is high for us and we are watching for something less expensive. Pros I like the ease of syncing lists with Planning Center's People module and the ease of the drag and drop email builder. Cons The cost is pretty high for the way we utilize the system. It would be great if there were a lower cost option for just sending basic emails and not utilizing all of the automated functions. Switched from [SendGrid](https://www.capterra.com/p/204113/SendGrid/) To link with Planning Center People's module. Review Source Response from Intuit April 3, 2025 Thank you for sharing your review, Travis! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying Mailchimp, and we appreciate your feedback about pricing. We're always working to provide the best value for our customers, and we know that plan costs play a significant role in choosing the right marketing platform.
