MailerLite
Intuitive email marketing with powerful automation at an affordable price
Overview
MailerLite strikes the balance that most email marketing tools miss: powerful enough for serious marketing automation, simple enough that non-technical team members can use it confidently. The drag-and-drop editor produces professional emails without HTML knowledge, and the automation builder handles multi-step sequences with conditional logic.
For startups growing their email list, MailerLite includes landing page and form builders at no extra cost. You can create opt-in pages, pop-ups, and embedded forms that feed directly into your email segments - no need for a separate landing page tool.
The pricing is notably competitive. The free plan supports up to 1,000 subscribers with most features included, and paid plans start at $9/month. For bootstrapped teams, this means you can run sophisticated email marketing campaigns at a fraction of what Mailchimp or ConvertKit charges.
