Frequently asked questions
Mailchimp costs $0 for 2,000 contacts and 10,000 emails/month with ads. To overcome these limitations, you must buy the paid plan starting at $9.99/month. Mailchimp pricing for nonprofits is no respite either. Mailchimp competitors like Mailmodo, on the other hand, offer full-stack email marketing solutions for a more affordable price. If you're a Mailchimp user, consider making the switch today to send interactive emails to your audience. Mailmodo is the best Mailchimp alternative.
Mailchimp has been around for 20+ years and is very customer-driven. However, according to Mailchimp reviews, their emails keep going to spam despite your domain being authenticated, which makes the platform seem unreliable. The Mailchimp alternatives considered reliable are ESPs like Mailmodo with high domain reputation and low spam rates.
According to the Email Deliverability Report 2022, Mailchimp has an 81% inbox placement rate and a 14% spam rate. The spam rate is high enough to cause low email deliverability.
You can avoid emails going to spam with Mailchimp and achieve better email deliverability with competitors to Mailchimp like Mailmodo, which offers dedicated servers, consultation, and help with your domain warm-up.
You can create an account for free to try Campaign Monitor and send an email campaign to five contacts. If you exceed the contact limit, you will have to buy the paid plan starting from $9/month, where you can send emails to 500 contacts. For a more affordable alternative, you can consider using Mailmodo.
Campaign Monitor is not HIPAA compliant. Although they’ve signed a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), Campaign Monitor won't allow you to utilize their service to send emails containing Protected Health Information (PHI). If you’re looking for a HIPAA compliant ESP, consider using Mailmodo.
Subscribers have frequently expressed frustration with Campaign Monitor for its high spam rates and occasionally blocked servers. Use Mailmodo if you want a higher deliverability rate. We assist clients with domain warming, stop spammers, and provide advice on increasing deliverability rates.
