I did the comparison of MailChimp vs. Aweber and went with MailChimp. It seems a lot more flexible for customizing html templates and I really like the integration with Google Analytics for metrics.

How have you found the metrics on Aweber vs. MailChimp?

I haven’t run into that autoresponder problem yet though.

And of course, the initial pricing of MailChimp for a small business is hard to be beat.

Thanks for stopping in Angela! I have to admit, the more that I look at both options AND the more that Mailchimp comes out with – the more I love it.

Eeep Eeep. I think we’ll need to have a Mailchimp how-to post soon!

This is a great post. I have been going back and forth of the pros and cons for Mailchimp and Aweber. I am a new biz and I like the zero cost factor of Mailchimp while I grow my list but I am not a fan of their autoresponder compared to Awebers. I believe that you offered me a solution and I will try it out. For now, I will stick with Mailchimp.

thanks!

Nice post, I just fwd it to some friends. We use Emma and have been satisfied with everything except for their templates. They are very limiting and really do not look as professional as our clientele demands. We have a list of 3000+ and Emma has an allotment of emails per month making it the other downfall.

Emma does allow us to send newsletters from different emails to designated groups/lists. Ie. an email from info@ or sales@ might go to different groups. Does Aweber allow for this?

Hmm… well when your list gets a bit bigger (25,000+) all of a sudden MailChimp starts getting WAY cheaper to deal with than Aweber.

In addition, Aweber treats a single email on multiple lists in exactly the same way MailChimp does, so that part is a wash.

Mailchimp and Aweber are the two that my clients ask most about. What do you love most about the other services?

Since that initial 500 subscribers is really what sets the two apart in pricing it makes a great choice for new businesses. Smart move MailChimp!

Great news for me since I only have 1 type of list for my promotions and newsletters, so I wouldn’t be having problems with duplicate subscribers on my list. Mailchimp it is I’m choosing! Plus I really don’t mind paying once I’ve reached over 500 subscribers to my newsletters! That’s a sign of business going great!
