Mailchimp isn't an affiliate partner of this site, so this page carries no buy button. It summarizes Mailchimp's public pricing page and points to the alternatives we cover.
| Plan | Price shown | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Under 250 contacts; max 500 sends/mo (250/day); email support for the first 30 days only |
| Essentials | $13/mo (0–500) · $26.50/mo (501–1,500) | Up to 4 automation flow steps; 3 seats |
| Standard | $20/mo (0–500) · $45/mo (501–1,500) | Up to 200 flows; 5 seats; 1 onboarding session |
| Premium | $297.50/mo for 12 months, then $350/mo* | Unlimited seats; phone and priority support; contact sales also offered |
*Only Premium has promo pricing: $297.50/mo for the first 12 months, then $350/mo, the same at both contact tiers. Essentials and Standard prices are regular "starts at" monthly prices, and both come with a 14-day free trial instead of a promo. Mailchimp also says you save 15% on 10,000+ contacts.
Other costs to know
- After the trial, going over contact or send limits is billed automatically as overages.
- SMS is a paid add-on in select countries.
- Pay-as-you-go email credits exist for infrequent senders.
- Nonprofit pricing is offered (per vendor page).
Cheaper or different options
If cost at your list size is the issue, compare Mailchimp alternatives, free Mailchimp alternatives, or GetResponse vs Mailchimp.
