Looking for the Best Mailchimp Alternative?

Mailchimp charges you for the volume of contacts in your lists in addition to the volume of emails you want to send. Growing your contact list can get very expensive, very quickly.

At Sendinblue, we don’t charge you for list growth, only for the emails you send. Check out our scalable pricing plans designed to fit all needs.

While sending a simple monthly newsletter to 5,000 contacts will cost $50 per month with Mailchimp, the Sendinblue “Lite” Plan allows you to send up to 40,000 emails for only €19 per month.

More importantly, Mailchimp will charge you for creating additional contact lists, thereby putting segmentation best practices and GDPR compliance out of reach for users who can’t afford it.

Mailchimp is a newsletter and email marketing campaign software, but doesn’t offer direct transactional email management. This is done through Mandrill, a paid add-on.

Sendinblue is an all-in-one relationship marketing platform, allowing you to manage transactional emails as well as SMS campaigns and notifications without any additional cost.

Sendinblue has been designed as a GDPR compliant alternative to Mailchimp with its advanced contact and consent management, servers hosted in France, multi-list subscription forms, etc. Additionally, our platform and customer service are available in 6 languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and German.

In comparison, Mailchimp makes GDPR compliance more complicated because their data is stored outside Europe and you have to pay more to create new lists. This makes it much more difficult to follow best practices for user consent management.

Sendinblue offers powerful segmentation tools and contact management along with unlimited contact lists.

Mailchimp charges more for each new contact in a list, even if a contact already exists in a different list. This makes segmentation more tedious and expensive. GDPR requires segmenting contacts according to different type of emails and levels of consent. Mailchimp makes this almost impossible, or excessively expensive.

Marketing automation allows you to target potential customers with tailored campaigns based on their activity on your website (pages browsed, clicks, purchase history, etc).

Sendinblue is an alternative that includes a comprehensive marketing automation software allowing you to set up any workflow you can think of and run it with full web tracking and webhook support. The only limit is your imagination!

In comparison, Mailchimp’s marketing automation is limited: the workflow editor allows you to set up a series of triggered emails, but doesn’t include advanced trigger conditions based on user behavior.

At Sendinblue, deliverability is our primary focus and this is why we’ve built one of the most effective account-checking and validation systems.

It combines human verification with machine learning algorithms in order to ensure the best reputation and deliverability on our shared IPs.

If the delivery rate of your messages is being compromised, you will be immediately informed and customer support will help you resolve the problem.
