    ToolTrim Analysis

    Our take on Mailerlite.

    MailerLite is an email marketing tool positioned as a simpler, cheaper alternative to Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign: drag-and-drop newsletter editor, basic automations, landing pages, all with a free plan already covering up to 1,000 contacts.

    For a creator or small business starting an email list, it's often the best features-to-price ratio for simple automations (welcome sequence, abandoned cart follow-up).
