Mailchimp Overview:

Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Mailchimp is a marketing platform primarily used by small businesses in marketing and IT services to manage email campaigns and customer outreach. Users value its drag-and-drop editor and real-time analytics for campaign tracking. Its AI growth assistant and mobile layout controls, launched in 2024–2025, enhance usability. However, reviewers consistently cite pricing and limited customization as drawbacks.

Our verdict

Mailchimp suits small businesses seeking a reliable email marketing tool with strong analytics and automation. While its interface is intuitive and its campaign tools are effective, buyers should expect trade-offs in customization and pricing flexibility. Reviewers note that advanced features often require paid plans, and support responsiveness may vary, especially during account issues.

"I don't like that I can't change or resize images."

Mailchimp's interface

Reviewers describe Mailchimp’s interface as easy to navigate, with a drag-and-drop editor that simplifies campaign creation. However, layout limitations and inconsistent mobile rendering are common friction points, especially for users managing visually heavy emails.

You’ll find Mailchimp’s editor quick to learn and efficient for basic campaigns, but expect constraints when customizing layouts or managing image-heavy content; reviewers often mention needing extra time to adjust formatting across devices and email clients.

Pros

Wide range of email and advertising products in one which are suitable for all business types whether experienced or not

Cons

Costs can be high when extra products / users are added which can quickly add up and eat into budgets.

I require effective marketing as a Client Services Manager. I do this to keep the guests informed. It is the best in small teams but is expensive with contacts.

Overall, Mailchimp is a strong tool, but the increasing costs and feature limitations at lower tiers are the main drawbacks for growing businesses.

Just ok. It would be better if the glitches were taken care instead of ignored. Feels like the company only cares about getting paid and not about helping consumers.
