We use the free version of the solution. There are, however, different usage plans. 

I primarily use the free version, but sometimes, for specific client needs, we may have to purchase different versions or packages. So, I use a combination of the free version and paid plans depending on the requirements.

MailChimp is affordable. 

If you're a small business or organisation, we'd suggest just starting out with the free version and if/when your lists grow, think about further packages then. You can also buy one-off blocks of extra emails should you be working on a specific larger campaign over a short period.

This is the cheapest, simplest and easiest white-listed provider to use. Recommended for any small business with no need to transition until they are capable to execute automation that targets from comprehensive behaviors.

This is where MailChimp shines. Our licensing cost is US$120/month, which is very cheap for sending 15k emails per day. As soon as another vendor starts providing RSS campaigns, and not charging $1200/month (low end of other things I've found that do this and connect to Salesforce), we'll probably switch.

It cost us about $250.

There was no set up cost. We spend $10/month for the option of not including the MailChimp logo on our newsletter and another $1/month for the social integration which gives us information on our readers and their social media profiles.

That depends on clients and how much mail they send. Most clients are sending less then 250k with standard pricing while the big senders (million +) require custom pricing. When compared to other solutions the costs are competitive and the satisfaction I hear from my own clients is well worth it. I don't get calls about how to do this or that, errors, or problems. Email is usually time sensitive so I don't want anyone to have a problem at the 11th hour. With MailChimp we never ran into those issues.

For those starting out, this free version gives you a very professional look. I feel that if you have a couple hundred subscribers on your list, you’d benefit more from upgrading to a paid program as the options really open up when you pay. I feel MailChimp offers competitive rates for the level of tech support they provide, and that the more extensive analytics would be of tremendous benefit.

Our internal marketing team uses the free version of MailChimp to meet our needs.

MailChimp has a discount for non-profits. It’s also important to note they charge by subscriber, so it’s best to minimize duplicate records. A good way to do this is to use MailChimp’s groups feature, as opposed to setting up separate lists.

We use the batch pricing, so it grows as our contact lists grow.

• Setup costs: none
• Monthly costs: about US$240

MailChimp is a good value product, but it seems very basic. It looks like they're starting to branch out more to social ads and are not putting as much time into their email service.

MailChimp is well priced for its level of ability. There are obviously alternatives out there but for ease of use, MailChimp is worth its price, especially since its free plan provides access to some paid features.

There is practically no setup cost, and we only use their pay-as-you-go pricing.

Great prices for the amount of things that are being offered.

We have the $79 per month plan – very affordable!!

No cost to set it up.

There is no cost.

We looked at a few other free ones on the market, but I can't remember names.
