MailerLite is a relatively new entry in the newsletter marketing tool market. It’s young, clean and has an organized design and style that permeates the new users with fresh experience. This newsletter tool has been architected for its simplicity, despite the fact that it has its efficiency in dealing with tons of emails and accounts with huge database as well.
We discovered that MailerLite is more than a local tool, it derives the traditional marketing culture to a digitally modern style without the complication of learning a new technology. However, the tool supports a maximum of 8 languages and their application is only available on iOS.
The positive side of MailerLite is that it offers a free forever service for freebie seekers with a limit of 1000 users, even though it has no-cost option but the beginner price is relatively less expensive than its competitors. The starting price is $15 monthly with a subscriber list of 2500 users. MailerLite truly has the best deal available right now.
What impressed us the most isn’t its cheap price but it’s simple looking interface and an easy to function control panel. It took us less than 20 minutes to set up an email campaign without looking much depending on the tutorial. Even we are delighted with its simplicity but does this emailing tool deliver the quality and better experience compared to other tools? Let us find out within this article.
MailerLite offers a wide variety of choices of newsletter and form options in their inventory. Their editor form interface has quick responsiveness and won’t feel kind of lag in response when composing messages. It sounds like a steal for having a free option plan and offering a simple and nice editor for you to use but let’s take a look into their features and see if it meets our expectations or is being enchanting.

Even it has its email automation feature but it isn’t made for enterprise and large businesses.

The process is easy to use and create. It includes a pop-up capture box and embedded the code onto your own domain. The message surface includes a clear ‘unsubscribe’ button that won’t go against public email policy.

MailerLite is simple but equipped with sophisticated features at economic prices that no other email marketing tools can beat. Ideal for small business owners or enthusiastic freelancers with a small investment budget. The automated features are limited and don’t offer spam/design testing. If you are a serious marketer, you may want to check out Getresponse or ActiveCampaign. For user-simplicity, please check out Aweber.
We have tested MailerLite with its free plan. However, at the time of writing this review article, they have limited emails you can send. If you do not have a large quantity of subscribers, you can still stick to their free option. The drag-and-drop editor is what gives this service a higher score, for beginners you can use this tool with ease. MailerLite is strict about their approval process for sending out email to your recipients. As long as you aren’t spamming your list, it is fine.
We will not hesitate to recommend you to sign-up with MailerLite, but it isn’t a perfect tool but a fine quality email marketing software you can get for less.
