Why Is Mailchimp So Expensive?
Mailchimp is one of the best-known names in the email marketing space. So similar to the most famous SEO software or even popular fashion houses—a high level of familiarity means the company can charge over the odds for whatever it provides. In other words, you’re paying for the brand name.
Another reason why Mailchimp isn’t the cheapest email platform is because after 12 months, it increases its pricing on almost all its plans.
However, if you commit to paying for a whole year upfront, Mailchimp will give you a 15% discount.
Also, Mailchimp plans come with more than just email marketing. That might sound like a bargain, but if you literally just want a tool to send email campaigns you will be paying for features you don’t need.
Oh, and Mailchimp also pays for TV campaigns and also holds big global events which it pays various celebrities to attend. Inevitably, your Mailchimp plan will also be funding things like this.
