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.

SendinBlue is free for the first 1,000 emails like most email marketing companies in the space. However, the problem with SendinBlue is that it offers a set number of emails per month, thus neglecting the number of contacts. A great choice could be Mailmodo’s pricing plan, which offers almost unlimited templates and campaigns and makes it suitable to cater to a large contact list.

The top competitor of SendinBlue is Mailmodo. You can send interactive emails with many customization options, ensuring better deliverability and high volume contact conversion.

Mailmodo offers far better deliverability as your emails are authenticated, and you get expert assistance to warmup your domain. You also receive personalized recommendations to improve your email health to boost your inbox placement rate.
