After 10+ years of using MailChimp - I'm moving on.
In this video I try the top 26 email marketing software apps and share the tool I end up choosing.
The truth is, almost all 26 companies provide the basics of email marketing. But what ends up distinguishing these companies is the hidden ways they charge you.

As of October 2024 this video has less than 10,000 views and this says a lot about the TH-cam algorithm and the reasons why we are being fooled by it.
I’ve been researching and testing email marketing tools for the past 6 years. This review is the most honest I’ve found so far. It deserves so much credit for it.
Hope I come back here in 2 years and find it with 1 million views. Cheers
I appreciate you taking the time to say so - if this video saves even a few people from MailChimp, I'll be happy 😊
Indeed
great things take time
@@stevebuildswebsites It did just save me from mailchimp thank you! I had heard from a few people it wasn't the greatest. I'll be trying mailerlite :-). Your video was so easy to follow and well researched, I loved it. Cheers!
You putting this up for free is actually clutch - praise to you
As someone who's also fed up with Mailchimp and making a switch, this video was immensely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to research and do such a brilliant job presenting your insights! Thanks, Steve!
Thanks for taking the time to say so!
SAME! Can’t wait to get off MailChimp
How did this video not go viral yet? What an amazing overview 🎉
Because needing an email list is not something that average person needs to worry about. With that said I I'm very grateful for this review as it was EXTREMELY helpful.
This video was soo good. I want a part 2! Make a part 2 on how the experience is and what you’ve done with it!
A massive thank you for the time, patience, professionalism, and massively comprehensive research you have accomplished, Steve! You have made this corner of the internet, more thoughtful, and just better!
Crazy, I just came to the same conclusion a few months ago! Great choice! I use brevo and mailerlite in two different occasions. Brevo is by far the cheaper one. Mailerlite pricings can increase quite a lot when subscribers go up (at least for smaller companies or individuals) but their pricing is very transparent at least.
Also worth noting is that both companies are situated in the EU which explains functionalities like being able to delete subscribers in automations etc. The privacy regulations (GDPR) are very strict here in Europe. Great video, thank you!
Which one would you advise for someone having around 20k mailing list ?
As someone who constantly has to do this kind of work for their job (Researching software solutions) I appreciate the level you went into because it's what is required, and I understand just how much effort that takes to actually fully understand a product rather than getting on camera and reading out their features and pricing list and basically doing a live demo for the first time (Which honestly, is like 95% of youtube comparison/software review videos).
Yes. This.
I love this video, great edits & storytelling!
Your channel is so underated, thank you for honest clear information, without the BS, and the ammount of work you do to research is phenominal, big respect!
I appreciate that!
This is why I love leveraging TH-cam to learn new things. Sure I could of spent the time to navigate these different tools but instead I get to watch a nice compact and concise version about them all! Earned a sub!
OMG, this is the best video about email MKT for beginners. Thank you so much
This video is gold. I've been researching for so long and all the reviews feel sponsored. I'm subscribing.
Wow. Anyone who's reviewing email marketing software NEEDS watch this. I've spent HOURS doing similar research and wasn't even close to as concise as this. Thank you SO MUCH for this well-researched, balanced review!
I feel like you're the best channel to go to for clear, unbiased videos about making a website. I appreciate what I have learned so far. Would you ever consider making a video about where to purchase a domain? I've just wrapped up with a few hours of research on that and I have a candidate that I will most likely go with, but I'd like to hear what your recommendation is for a domain reseller.
Thank you! What are your thoughts after your research? Id be curious to hear :)
@@stevebuildswebsites CloudFlare seems the cheapest, Porkbun is fairly close and was the most recommended (although sometimes by paid advertisement), and Dynadot seemed like a great price, but no one talked about it for long. Squarespace is overpriced because most users don't know what a domain costs, Namecheap is no longer cheap, and Hover was recommended by many people because of the other services they offer, although it was on the high end of pricing. That being said, to buy one domain is not very expensive regardless, but money is money.
@@stevebuildswebsites CloudFlare was cheapest but apparently not good for novices, Dynadot was next cheapest, but no one talked about it, Porkbun is a good price and was recommended by several people (sometimes by paid advertisement), NameSilo decent price, no one really talked about it much, Namecheap is no longer cheap, Hover is expensive but people said it was worth it for a few extra features that I don't understand, and lastly, Squarespace is overpriced if your domain is not free, probably because people aren't usually coming to Squarespace looking for a domain in the first place.
I’ve watched two of ur videos and I love how straight to the point you are. And you’re very honest.
I also love how ur aiming to help people who don’t have a bunch of money. Your sick dude
Thank you 😊 really appreciate you taking the time to say so!
Same! Love your videos :) They are so empowering
Terrific video! Thank you for doing all the hard work! Like everyone else, you have saved me days of work trying to figure out what platform to switch to for myself and what to recommend to my clients! Much appreciated!! I, too, would love a follow-up video to see how your experience is going. Thanks again!! :)
Crisp, smart way of explaining, necessary and sufficient information. That was helpful. Thank you.
This is incredibly helpful! I rarely write comments but if it helps more people discover your fantastic content...it's the least I can do! Great video. Thank you for calling out so many companies for some shady practices.
Thanks!
I really love your channel. It’s clear, inviting, and creative. Great find.
Glad to hear it - thank you!!
One of the top 5 most useful TH-cam videos I've ever watched. Thank you!
Thanks for putting in the work so the rest of us can learn from you.Very much appreciated
thanks for all the work!
Incredible video, glad this is the first video I watched I feel like you saved me so much time & I dont need to watch any others. I appreciate your hard work!
New to this. But I know integrity when I see it. Well done buddy. Someone with credentials to give honest reviews so us newbies can actually start off on the right foot.
Appreciate your efforts.
First thank you. That was a great video, very informative. Not sure who I'll end up with, but your checklist for why you did the first sorting and what things they failed for is amazing. I'll watch for that kind of stuff going forward. If I go with either of your picks, I'll definitely come back and use your link as a thank you.
The time and the details you gave to this video are outstanding thank you !
I've got to say! I have been pulling my hair out about email marketing and I am the founder of my non -profit organization, trying to set up all this and that. This review is entertaining as heck! Aside from the awesome comparisons, your short film movie style content is very intriguing!
That's awesome!! Choosing software is pretty dull, so if it was entertaining at all, I'm happy :)
I liked the music :) I also appreciate your videos immensely as somebody that researches extensively it is apparent that you are thorough and diligent. Kudos
Man I love your investigative approach to comparisons! This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while, reminds me of Webflow edu vids. Subscribeedddd
Hope you can cover the new Wix Studio too
Thank you!! I'ma huuuuge fan of Webflow videos so that's a high compliment :D
This is an amazing, amazing video. I hope it gets more views, not just for email marketing but for the message it has against these companies that trick their customers
Thank you for your encouraging words!!
BRUH! Literally came from watching your video about email marketing platforms to my phone to find your videos so that I could comment. I’m a content creator and this video I can tell you put so much effort and so much research and time into this. Thank you so much 🙏🏾 I had The not new to anyone else epiphany this last year that your own website and a email list is the only way to retain and live long-term in business
So *slow clap* thank YOU for this research . When I choose which one I’m gonna go with I’m gonna use your affiliate link.
That means so much to me!! 🙏🙏
Absolutely incredible value! Thank you so much for sharing all of this! I have been feeling paralised in putting my ideas out there, in part due to not having a clue which company to trust with an email list... This is worth so much!!!
I'm very grateful for your comprehensive review! Cheers Steve! 🙏
thank you so much for taking the time to review all these platforms!
By far the BEST channel I have come across! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!
This was a very helpful video for me. Thank you for putting all this work to do serious research and making a great video with such clear info!
Such a great video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for this!! I'm a new blogger trying to get my email marketing going and have been struggling to figure out which one to go with. This helps so much!
An absolute gem and a benchmark for any other SaaS research video out there! This should be the only way how consumers are informed! Very well done, respect, and thank you for the work put in!
This video classifies as public good! I am a first timer and with so much in the market, I was overwhelmed. Thank you, Steve :)
Rarely comment or even like YT videos but this one got a thumbs up from me. :) Loved that you had an elimination process in the beginning and brought awareness to the pricing issues many of us wouldn't have thought of. Thanks for your work!
Thank you so much! I have found this video very useful and has saved me so much time in what tool I would like to you. Thanks!
Thank you, I had no idea what I needed but you have highlighted some important considerations.
Dude thank you, you've saved us sooo much time with the research on all of these email marketing tools. Appreciated!
Great to hear!
AHH THIS WAS THE BEST VIDEO EVER. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU. I hope more people make more videos like this for all industries in business!! I am most definitely using your link to start my email list. ❤
Brilliant content. A big thanks. We'll researched and expertly presented. I'm about to start using email marketing and had already researched myself with the conclusion maileite, but your research was far superior and reassuringly you came to the same conclusion. I shall use your affilate like as thanks. 😊
Brilliant, genuine, thorough content! Thank you for providing such a comprehensive analysis of all of these platforms! I am a business owner who is trying to get into the email marketing space, and your video was professionally put-together and educational! I am subbing to your TH-cam channel! Cheers!
Thank you for doing the hard work so we don't have to. You rock! Subscribed, I'll use your affiliate link, and share this far and wide.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful.
I saw someone comment in another video that mentioned a video that compared 26 email tools, and somehow your video just showed up on the top of the recommended email list. woww. Impressive. And thank you so much for the great video!
This video was super helpful! I'm glad I stumbled across it! I'm in the process of selecting an email marketing platform at the moment!
This was excellent. I've been trying to decide and your methodical review was on point. Thanks
Thank you so much for this review. I have been trying to figure out what platform is best for me and I’ve been so frustrated trying to figure it all out that I’ve done nothing. I really appreciate the time you’ve taken to research every product.
Everything is clear. Brief and clear. No water. Thank you)
This is a refreshing review. Thanks for taking the time (a lot!!!) and effort to go through this and share it. Also, I've never seen someone looking cool (ish) wearing a cardigan without the grandad vibes lol
Glad to hear it was helpful!!
thank you thank you thank you for this video. i run a small community non profit. We net very little money, and finding the right mass emailer for us has been a headache - specifically because navigating the pricing/terms is a bit overwhelming. You've helped me so much - going with mailerlite!
I've used a bunch of these for over 4 years and Mailerlite is still my favorite. It's the best value for the money, and the website builder is wonderful. I've recommended it to a bunch of people who are now using it on their small projects or businesses. Even though they don't pay me (I pay them), I'm more than happy to recommend their product to anyone trying to market online!
I appreciate you doing all the research and sharing your results.🙂
Man... you are analyzing email marketing this way? I loooove the way you presented your reviews! I can sit and listen to you for hours!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for your work. Helped me save a ton of time and money searching for the best platform. Subscribed.
Thank you! You answered questions I didn’t even know I had!
This is an awesome video. You did the tedious leg work so others can take a shortcut. Added value. The one thing I'm left wondering is whether Zoho Campaigns costs so much less money, that it far outweighs the saving of the lacking automatic downgrade. Also, I noticed Zoho costs a lot less in general. Do you think it's because it's an overseas company?
wow, this video was so well done, creative and most of all helpful! Thank you!
Thanks Steve, this video was super informative and entertaining to watch....
You are a life saver,
My clients are going to be so grateful they won't be getting overcharged😌
Glad it was helpful!!
Thank you soooo much for your insights, crazy valuable! You have a very soothing voice :D
This is an EXCELLENT video and thank you so much for all the work you put into helping me decide which one to use. I really hope YT algo grabs this!! 💥
You are a legend my guy. Thank you.
We did the same change from MC to ML with our 60K subscribers couple of years ago and we never looked back. Absolutely recommended for the exact reasons you mentioned.
That’s awesome - good to hear it’s worked out for someone further along the road 👍
Thanks very much for this standout review: clear, honest, going deeper than features and keeping it short and super-engaging. And I can tell you, I've been going round and round trying to crack this problem myself, after using quite a few email providers, personally and with clients. It gets old, really quickly. Your review is a breath of fresh air.
Thanks so much for doing such a full review & as a very small business I appreciate all of the conditions you put in place, some I hadn't even considered. Thanks to you I have a short list to test and see which I like. You rock star!
Way to keep companies accountable! Thanks for all your research. You definitely saved me some time.
Uhh is this what it feels like to be in The Bachelor?! Luckily, we collected all the roses and even the ring.💍Some might say it was written in the stars ✨
❤️🙏✨
I'm blind and Switched from mailchimp to Mailerlite which is
why I'm commenting here.
I found mailchimp messy clunky and not accessible but Mailer lite is the best.
Obviously some parts are Complicated but that's in the web site builder section and nothing I've found crazy Difficult with the Mailing Features
Hope you guys get more templates soon...
So… you’ve tried “EVERY” email program???
I don’t believe this statement.
Mailerlite SUCKS !!!
it stopped adding my subscribers to my list which is the whole point with zero support to help you
I am in the market for a new email marketing tool and this was such a comprehensive explanation that you have helped take the guesswork out of my choice. Thanks.
Amazing video, every question I literally had setting up our newsletter for my business. Thanks soo much! Not all heroes wear caps
Exclusive value, hey where do you get your background music? I love the way you use them to relate to your emotions. Feels relaxing✌️
So tired of being ripped off and the games these companies play once they have your credit card it's free reign for them to bury you with fees and this and that. How anyone can justify charging for those that unsubsidized is just beyond me. Noone should do business with those that do that in my opinion. Thank you for the information
Thank you so much for this video. Clear, concise and straight to the point!. As an e-mail marketer you make my job so easy
Thank You Steve - clear logical approach to what is a complex area with so many variables - excellent work and again Thank You
Just wanted to say thank you for the video. I found it very useful and informative.
This video was very informative. Please make more videos like this!

Steve, thank you for all the effort. We appreciate it!
Excellent video mate! Very comprehensive, and appreciate the honesty and research you've done.
Thanks for your well-researched and tested analysis. ✌
as a singer songwriter starting a mailing list this video was so so helpful for me. such a clear concise overview. before watching this i actually had a lot of my peers recommend mailchimp to me, so i'm glad i saw this video now :) thank you so much.
So glad to hear it 😊
This is an AWESOME video! Grafetul! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I'm going to go with your recommendation because you saved me so much time and targeted ALL of my concerns and more. Thank you very much for doing this work for us!
This video is truly impressive! I appreciate you sharing it with us. I couldn't resist; I've just subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!!
Bro this video is just amazing! So concise and engaging 👍 The quick process of elimination style is very easy to watch
I appreciate you for this video!! Saved me so much time :)
Such a quality video. Much watch for anyone wanting to get the right email platform for them. Thanks.
Very informative video mate. I really like the cardigan, too.
at 1:48 notice how the intuit logo appears and gets bigger. Thats why the price keeps going up haha
😅😅
Il definitely sign up using ur links. This was by far the best comparison from a customer perspective non of that salely stuff to get paid.
Firstly I appreciate video content it's really helpful 👌, 2nd thing is the awesome video quality 💯, and the last thing is the creator himself 👏👏.....this combination makes this video....extremely creative & professional 👍👍.......and i have a question....which editing software u are using ??? by the way thanks for providing such useful video.
Thank you!! Final Cut Pro! And some screen capture apps (they are linked in the video description)
You are one of the very few I trust 100% for advice !I need advice for the best newsletter and I am glad I came on to this video
Glad I could help!
I am exceptionally grateful for this video! It is so hard to get this type of information, and to be honest, I felt lost. I am just starting out with my first software, and I do want to make signups / email marketing right from day one. I think I will try Brevo first as I like they have other services too. THANK YOU!
Thanks Steve for an awesome video especially for an email newbie like myself! There are so many options and it's so hard to choose. 😃
Que análise incrível e vídeo muito bem editado. Muito obrigada!
Wow apprecite the work you put into this video! Thank you! I will def be trying them out hopefully I find one that works best for me!!!!
