Re: Mailchimp's pricing
#3Some clients of mine left mailchimp for this very reason (and because the web style editor wasn't great, but mostly pricing).
You start on a free plan, and get 2000 users, you hit that limit, and are considering moving up, then realise that their lowest plan is actually below the number of users on the free plan - you have to go up to the 5th plan to actually get over 2000 users again. The limits are pretty low and the costs mount steeply, but the worst thing was not having a clear first step up from the free plan.
They also have an insane number of plans.

Yeah, Mailchimp can get crazy expensive as you scale up. One nice thing I found is that you also get a substantial amount of credits in Mandrill as you keep upgrading plans in Mailchimp.

My thoughts at first until I clicked and scrolled down... and down... and down... until I realized how insane it is to spend $100k on sending out emails.

#7I thought that there was a strange bug on this page, look at the ridicules price hikes.
501 - 1,000 $15 1,001 - 1,050 $20
5$ for 50 mails ..... 10 cent per email wow, I think you could get a better deal at the post office :)

#8Mailchimp is ideal for sending a high volume of emails to a small amount of users. I couldn't imagine using them with a large volume of users, it's literally $0.005 per user, imagine if you only need to send a monthly or even weekly email to 1mil+ users, total rape on the per email basis

This is crazy. The first impression is "oh shit I have so many option" but in the end, seriously, how do we keep track of the pricing? Is the average worthy? Is this really that cheap? I like their service but this is crazily complicated. Whoever did the pricing must have some innovation in marketing - this is like calculating EC2 cost (it's getting better but still hard).

Either that or just expose the formula for calculating cost.
The plans are too exact to really be "plans". Is anyone thinking "I have exactly 52000 users right now"? I feel like bigger brackets or a sliding scale would be more appropriate.
