### "Superb features and service"

January 7, 2022

5.0

Overall: Impressed. Many years ago I left AWeber because of their new user interface, which I didn't like. For many years I used self-hosted autoresponders, but the last one I had caused so many problems, so I had enough. I already had a MailerLite account that I didn't use, so I decided to try it out and was blown away. Extremely good service and almost all the features I wanted from an autoresponder, like segmenting, tagging (this is groups in ML), sending again to people who didn't open or click, easiness of use, and super-friendly, fast, and clever support.

Pros

MailerLite has almost everything I wanted in an autoresponder. And I've suggested the few things that are missing. Several has already been implemented, and one is on its way soon. I love how the people behind MailerLite listen to their customers. And how fast and clever their support is. It's impressive.

Cons

The things I like the least is the lacking ability to change an email address for a subscriber. But they are implementing this feature. And then I would love it if you could add automation to a segment and not just a group. But there are workarounds, which I've used. I would also love a clean text-only option, but I'm probably one of the few who would use that and not either HTML or rich text.

Reason for choosing MailerLite

\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] replied to my email with questions that they would get back to me with answers, which they never did.When I asked Constant Contact if they accepted single opt-in from my customers, they kept replying the same thing in many, many emails: that it was best to have double opt-in.In both cases I figured that if pre-sell service was this bad, I wouldn't want to risk being in use of service after purchase.

### "The new version is not worth it"

May 28, 2022

2.0

Pros

The old version was okay, it got the job done with a good price in comparison to a bloated MailChimp. Just simple email marketing and automation. I was excited for the new version to be released as it looked to be a step in the right direction for the user interface (as the old version was, very dated). However, after they released the new pricing structure, almost double just for a fresh coat of paint and a promise for 'new features' with none actually available on the launch, it seemed rushed with a lack of thought for their community. They asked before the release for feedback from the community who mainly focused on not heading in a MailChimp direction, price increases, continued live support, paywalls for simple features. Unfortunetly they didn't listen, the price increased, live support vanished unless you pay 3x more for a plan with only one new feature 'Facebook Audiences' which I can't comment on as I'm not forking out the money to test for it possibly not to work. The biggest downfall of all which really cemented that fact that they aren't listening or care for their original community base was zero migration tools being available at the launch of the new version. Your main customer, who are already supporting you and the most excited to test out your new platform, and they completly left them in the dark until an unspecified date stating the tools were going to be available within weeks, when they were later silently put up after month.

Cons

Cont. Which only moved subscribers and groups, something that could easily be done with a CSV file. They didn’t move your automations, pop-ups, embeds or previous campaigns and reports. Even though they had MailChimp migrations ready from the get-go! Which didn’t work mind you, the free trial only allows for 1,000 subscribers to be added (a new ‘feature’ compared the old version, which allowed more in the trial phase). So when migrating from Mail Chimp to the new MailerLite you were just hit with a stuck loading bar not knowing what is happening at all. As someone in development, the new platform was rushed to release. When creating a new account, you can no longer tether multiple accounts to one email unless you pay, which creates a massive barrier when creating accounts for clients, you have to do the whole ‘forward me the confirmation emails etc’ which just comes across as unprofessional. To dodge this you need to pay, which also means you have to ask them for payment details before you even have the account ready. The migration tools were a pinnacle in the whole new/old version fiasco because it really showed they didn’t care about the old customers. They even remove your affiliate link when migrating to the new version. When using their migration tools for the first time, after disappointment they didn’t really migrate more than a CSV file on information I started to create my automations from scratch, for the simple duplicating feature to fail getting prompted ‘A copy i

Reason for choosing MailerLite

Go back to Mail Chimp, or stick with your platform.

With the old MailerLite it was quite easy, with the new version you're stuck with progress bars that stop loading because it doesn't state that you cannot go over 1,000 subscribers in the trial - meaning you cannot trial the platform at all.

### " Seamless email marketing and my MailerLite experience"

September 7, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with MailerLite has been positive so far, and has allowed me to streamline my email marketing efforts and achieve impressive results. Their response times have been consistently prompt, and their willingness to assist with any queries or issues is commendable.

Pros

MailerLite has proven to be a game-changer for my email marketing endeavors. Here are some of the standout features that have truly impressed me:Navigating is a breeze. The interface is clear, well-organized, and user-friendly, making it easy for even a novice like myself to create visually appealing campaigns.The drag-and-drop editor is a real gem and allows me to easily design professional-looking emails without any coding. The pre-designed templates are also a huge time-saver.Automated workflows are simple and MailerLite has a range of automations that enable me to engage with my customers/subscribers in a more personalized manner, resulting in higher open and click-through rates.The ability to segment my email list based on my criteria is invaluable. This feature has allowed me to target specific event attendees , ensuring that my messages reach the right audience every time.The A/B testing functionality helps me fine-tune my campaigns for optimal performance. It's been instrumental in understanding what resonates best with my audience.

Cons

While MailerLite is an exceptional platform, there are a couple of areas where I'd love to see some improvement:Although MailerLite offers integrations with other popular platforms like WordPress and Shopify, it would be really helpful if there was even more integration options with other tools I use in my marketing toolbox.While the pre-designed templates are fantastic, I'd like a bit more flexibility in customizing them. Sometimes, I find myself wishing for more font and layout options.

Reason for choosing MailerLite

After thorough research and trying out a few other platforms, I ultimately chose MailerLite for several reasons. Their pricing structure is transparent and affordable, which is crucial for a small business like mine. The simplicity of the platform didn't sacrifice any of the advanced features I needed for effective email marketing. Lastly, the fact that MailerLite places a strong emphasis on user experience and accessibility was a big draw for me.

### "Great Features for a Reasonable Price"

August 10, 2022

Positive

Pros

I like the management of automations. Mailerlite's automations have a flow-chart appearance which helps in the visual understanding of what is going on with the onboarding or offboarding automation.

Cons

I wish there were ways to add tags and/or easily update fields to a groups of email subscribers.

### "I'm glad I did my research and chose MailerLite!"

October 14, 2023

5.0

First and foremost let me say, it's the people. Their support staff is stellar! I enjoy using MailerLite and am excited to learn more about what else it can do!

Pros

I really love the website builder! So easy to use. The support staff is stellar. Friendly and fast. I love all of the features. I can't wait to build everything out as I grow!

Cons

I wish they had hosting! I would have bought hosting from them in a heartbeat if it had been available! That being said they do offer their own URL you can use for free (without having your own domain and hosting).

### "Fast & Reliable Way To Get Our News To Our Customers"

February 10, 2024

5.0

Just going from the old interface to the new was a little tricky, for me at least because I was so used to things the way they were. The folks at MailerLite actually surprised me at how helpful they were in both the speed of their responses and the content of them too... like someone actually read my questions and actually answered them... not just sending me a link to their FAQ page, we've all had that kind of "no-help" help, and it can be maddening. MailerLite has been absolutely terrific, can't say enough good about them.

Pros

Once you get in a groove on the interface, emails are remarkably fast to create and send. Just about as fast as a Facebook post but obviously with a lot more direct reach.

Cons

Not a whole lot. The one suggestion I might have would be the ability to incorporate something like TINYPNG directly in to the interface. Lots of times I'll use the same graphics for a website and just upload them to MailerLite for the email. Saves me time when I'm doing work at 3am. Be nice to have a 1100px wide graphic at 150k knocked down in size, both mechanical and file size, automatically. It'd make for smaller email overall size.

### "Mailerlite "

November 27, 2023

4.0

Not too bad an experience. It is very functional and even though its missing some exciting design features it is a lower cost option at basic level if you've lower subs.

Pros

Ease of use. Fantastic integration with many other platforms and website builders means that little problems with adding codes etc.

Cons

Not as many design options which is needed if you're working in the creative industries- emails have to look good ! and Mailerlite is a little boring.

I first started using Mailerlite for my author business and found it very useful. Then we started using it for our digital media company because the ease of use is wonderful for my whole team.

Pros

They keep improving their product and making it better and better for my company.

Cons

In the past, I wanted the automations to be stronger and more skilled with triggers. This has definitely improved over the years.

### "The BEST email marketing platform for your money!"

February 18, 2022

5.0

Mailerlite is hands-down the best email marketing software I have come across and it is so affordable. It does everything I need it to and the user interface is so intuitive and easy to use which means so much to me as a designer. I have used other email marketing softwares for my clients and always cringe when I have to use anything besides Mailerlite. I always recommend for my clients to switch to Mailerlite when I have the opportunity because it just makes my life and theirs so much easier.

Pros

The interface is my favorite feature. It is no-fuss, simple and just makes sense - just like it should be. I know where everything is at and it only takes a few clicks to accomplish what I need to. Also, I love how lists are organized with groups and segments - it makes so much more sense than Mailchimp.

Cons

I have had a 99% positive experience with Mailerlite but the one thing I have noticed that bugs me slightly is sometimes the plain-text email editor glitches when deleting or adding new sections. I look past it though becaase everything else is so great about the platform.

### "My Horrifying experience with MailerLite"

August 3, 2016

1.0

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.

### "MailerLite gives value for (no) money"

August 15, 2021

5.0

MailerLite is great. I used to use MailChimp, but the free account was changed in a way that my small business with a very small list would have to pay a lot to mail every now and than. I changed to MailerLite and I'm very happy about that! The personal support that's fast as lightning, is the best feature maybe :-)

Pros

Easy to use software and most of all: superfast and personal help, even for free accounts!

Cons

Swapping text and images from left to right with 1 click would make it easier to change your mind when making the campaign, video link with preview could be better, uploading new subscribers from chaotic shees would be great, excluding a few subscribers from a mailing would be nice without having to make a segment for them first, that kind of stuff.

It was the only one that had the needed features without spending too much.

Great experience overall with great support which is essential when things get serious. Higly recommended and not just for pricing reasons.

Pros

Ease of use, immediate support and the fact that you really do have everything you need (exotic features missing is of no importance), is what I like most on MailerLite.One great future too, is that you get to pay only for the unique emails used, thus allowing you to duplicate lists and run your campaigns exactly as you need to, without paying extra.

Cons

I would like to have a better search and mass management option when it comes to subscribers handling and maybe some degrees of extra "freedom" or customization on ready to use tools when designing an email.

March 6, 2023

My overall experience has been great. They have only continued to improve their platform, so I don't even think of going anywhere else.

Pros

I love the new functionality of the dashboard in the version. It's clean, easy to onboard, maneuver, and find your needs. I also love the newly improved help articles and their academy.

Cons

The only integration issue I came across was my Squarespace email; however, they currently have a workaround for that while they are working on implementing it into the new version. So I was thrilled with it.

Reason for choosing MailerLite

Easy onboarding. Clean dashboard. Easy to follow. Great new video tutorials. Learning academy is to follow as well-love it. They have only continued to improve the platform making it easier to learn instead of creating more of a steep learning curve for us. Plus, they offer great customer service.

The best.

Pros

From the beginning MailerLite was easy to use, intuitive despite its comprehensive offerings. I didn't expect to be able to do so much, and switched anyway. And then came the surprise of how complete it was. I have had nothing but great experiences with support. The built-in explanations are thorough and clear, but live support is just an email and a few minutes ' wait away. I love MailerLite and just talked to a former colleague about it. He's in the process of switching from our old favorite. I don't think you can do better.

Cons

Strange to say, the biggest challenge was that I thought it was harder to use than I thought. Now that I'm just following my intuition, my best guess of what to do, I have no problems with it at all.

February 2, 2023

Mailerlite usage is an overall positive experience, as long as you can adapt to the unique user interface.

Pros

Mailerlite has a lot of robust features and options that compare to big-league email newsletter platforms. Customer service is solid, and everything you're getting is spelled out clearly. The platform also offers very affordable, customizable pricing tiers so you can mix and match to get exactly what you need out of your platform.

Cons

Mailerlite has a learning curve with using it. It also has a challenging user interface that is downright confusing at times, and is not intuitive or easy on the eyes.

### "After 6 months of use"

January 18, 2024

5.0

Overall, for the price we were happy. If you are looking for email services, they are wonderful. If you want to design, build and host your website too you might want to consider doing that elsewhere and pair those services together.

Pros

For the price we got a wonderful deal to be able to create and host a new website and also build our email following. In the end we were able to meet all of these needs at a very affordable price which was crucial for our new business.

Cons

Once you dig into MailerLite you can see that they added services over time - the website creation and hosting were not part of their original offerings. The design experience was frustrating and glitchy and the instructional videos were outdated and didn't match to the current user experience. We got the job done but it definitely took way longer than we expected.

### "Cheaper alternative with all the bells and whistles"

March 30, 2024

4.0

Once we got in, it's been smooth sailing since

Pros

Really cheap and efficient when compared to more expensive alternatives, while providing the same features. I love it!

Cons

It's almost like they don't like money. We had to make a public post on Twitter for them to allow us to sign up. It was ridiculous really

Price. We're a small nonprofit and needed something affordable

### "Looking Forward to a Long and Happy Journey with Mailerlite! 🤩"

June 8, 2023

5.0

I'm in the setup process right now, but from what I can see so far it looks like the features are easy to manage. Plus there are lots of Youtube videos for help. I had Mailchimp for a while but it's difficult to manage and kind of "buggy" at times. Plus, the biggest drawback is... as soon as you figure out how to operate the features, and by the time you come back, they have rearranged everything. Oh boy!!😵 Now that I got my challenge solved, I'm pretty optimistic and looking forward to using all of the MailerLite features for my email marketing needs. ~ One thing though before I sign off. MailerLite and GoDaddy need to have a serious chat and get your platforms to play nice with each other. No shade on customer service. They were great!!One more thing, I think going forward the Growing Business plan should have at access to least one or two 24/7 chat sessions per month. If it was not for the chat feature I would not have gotten through my dilemma.

Pros

The systems are fairly easy to set up and get going. Chat customer service is great.

Cons

My profession email account is with GoDaddy Office 365. At this time, the Mailerlite platform is not compatible with Office 365. Yesterday, I spent about a half hour with \[sensitive content hidden\] to trouble shoot why I was getting a warning notice on emails while sending them to myself in test mode. \[sensitive content hidden\] thought the trouble was because of the word "test" in the subject line and recommended that I send myself an actual campaign. Which I did...Still no luck. So today, I contacted Godaddy, waited on hold over an hour, explained the problem to \[sensitive content hidden\] (Godaddy), then he stayed on the phone while I communicated \[sensitive content hidden\] (MailerLite) . Who figured out that we needed to update the coding on the GoDaddy Office 365 account. So for 2 hrs she and \[sensitive content hidden\] went back and forth with rewriting the codes so that Office 365 would Authenticate my account. I just tested a campaign and it's working. Yay!! Let me give a shout out to both \[sensitive content hidden\] for their help and patience.

### "Excellent email service"

May 9, 2022

4.0

I’m very happy with MailerLite, the free tier is more than enough for my basic needs but at the same time very powerful and clean.

Pros

MailerLite is easy to deploy thanks to clear instructions and its KB, much easier than, say, Mailchimp. Support has been great and the learning curve is there but again much less steeper than the alternatives. The free tier is superb!!!

Cons

The old interface was functional but not especially good looking. The new version is miles ahead and on par with modern UX and usability expectations, although at times may look cluttered and too full of information. Still some rough edges here and there but once learned how to operate, it flies

Was looking for a better free tier option, with forms and popus but easy to integrate with WP
