@MailerLite Just canceled my plan. Terrible (non-existent) customer service and support. There’s a reason this company is cheap. I’ll pay more for better quality.

Disappointed by @MailerLite. Signed up for the first time, such a long onboarding process and "Test email" isn't even working. Stuck here. pic.twitter.com/K2qAFOzs9p

Will have to give it a shot.

Mailerlite can be painful for even the most basic stuff, like predictably changing text colour.

Same action will change either the highlighted text, whole line, or nothing at all seemingly at random 🤷‍♂️

I was using MailerLite to send out a welcome email/drip for my startup. Apparently this got me flagged for spam and my account banned?

I always thought MailerLite was a great system, but who has another recommendation???

FAQs

MailerLite’s email automation is sophisticated to use. Their automation feature is part of every plan, including the free trial. You can use autoresponders to set up marketing emails, like welcome emails. Building automation flows using their drag-and-drop builder is easy because the platform is intuitive. However, if you’re looking to do triggered email marketing, Mailmodo is a complete value for money. It’s a powerful tool for building multistep automation flows and is cost-effective.

With MailerLite’s free plan, you can send 12,000 emails monthly to 1,000 contacts. Only 1 user can sign up for the trial account. Also, key features such as drag-and-drop editor, email automation builder, signup forms, and pop-ups are included in the trial. However, if the contact limit is exceeded, you will have to shell out money and switch to a paid plan.

Yes, Mailmodo is a far more advanced alternative to MailerLite. With Mailmodo, you can send AMP emails that reduce redirections and drop-offs. Connecting your own SMTP is also a huge advantage for any email marketing team. Besides, Mailmodo offers 24/7 email, phone, and chat support.

According to Email Deliverability Report 2022, MailerLite delivered 16.33% of emails to spam folders, and 4.61% of emails got lost. MailerLite’s high spam rates and servers getting blacklisted from time to time have often frustrated subscribers. For a better deliverability rate, you can stick to Mailmodo. We offer help with domain warmup, block spammers, and consult our clients on how to boost their deliverability rates.

Import contact information into Mailmodo to ensure the information you want to maintain from MailerLite will still be available when the migration is complete. List cleansing is an important consideration to do before importing any existing email lists. You can use Mailmodo to import clean lists, and the initial send should go to an engaged list.
