Intuit Mailchimp

Mailchimp is an all-in-one marketing platform for sending email and SMS campaigns, building audiences and automations, and creating landing pages and websites — with pricing that scales with your contact count.

What is Intuit Mailchimp?

Mailchimp is one of the best-known email marketing platforms in the world, now rebranded as Intuit Mailchimp and expanded into an all-in-one marketing suite. At its core it is an email marketing tool: build campaigns with drag-and-drop templates, segment audiences with tags and groups, automate journeys, and measure everything with detailed analytics. Around that core it has grown landing pages, a website builder, social content, surveys, and SMS — all of which TrustRadius reviewers praise for being approachable. The consistent praise is ease of use, the email builder, reporting, and audience segmentation. The consistent complaints are that pricing climbs steeply with subscriber count, design flexibility is limited for advanced users, and sophisticated marketing needs eventually outgrow it. Mailchimp remains the default choice for small businesses and early-stage startups because of the free plan and brand familiarity, but growing teams frequently migrate to Klaviyo (ecommerce), ActiveCampaign (deeper automation), or MailerLite (cheaper and lighter) once the contact tax bites. It is a great on-ramp to email marketing — the question is how long you stay on it.
