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.
