Mailchimp is the most recognised name in email marketing. However, since its acquisition by Intuit, pricing has increased significantly and many advanced features require higher-tier plans. Many growing businesses find themselves paying more for less as they scale.

The most common reasons businesses switch away from Mailchimp are: (1) Significant price increases following the Intuit acquisition, (2) Send limits on all plan tiers, (3) Advanced features locked behind the Premium plan at $350+/month, (4) Mailchimp branding on lower plans, and (5) Limited deliverability tools compared to purpose-built platforms.
For a list of 10,000 subscribers, Mailchimp Standard costs approximately $135/month with a send limit of 120,000 emails/month. Migomail Growth covers 10,000 subscribers at $45/month with unlimited sends. For higher volume senders, the difference is even larger.
Yes. Export your subscriber list, segments, and global suppression list from Mailchimp in CSV format. Import subscriber data and the suppression list to Migomail. The Migration Audit service maps the full process and identifies any list quality issues before migration.
Migomail includes 200+ professional email templates across all major campaign types — welcome series, promotional, re-engagement, transactional, and seasonal. The drag-and-drop builder is comparable to Mailchimp. If you have existing Mailchimp templates in HTML format, these can be imported to Migomail with minor adjustments.
Automation workflows cannot be automatically transferred — they need to be rebuilt on the Migomail platform. However, Migomail automation is more powerful than Mailchimp on Standard and lower plans, supporting complex branching, conditional logic, and unlimited workflows from the Growth plan. The Migration Audit documents all existing automation dependencies before the move.
