- The team values an approachable editor and visual automation more than deep CRM complexity: MailerLite centers its product on email campaigns, audiences, visual workflows, forms, landing pages, and straightforward reports.
- Ecommerce campaign revenue needs to be connected to Shopify or WooCommerce activity: MailerLite reports orders, revenue, and conversions when its supported ecommerce connection is installed.

MailerLite pricing table
Pricing checked: Aug 10, 2026
Official factConfidence 98%1 linked source
The current public pricing page lists Free at USD 0 for up to 250 subscribers and 2,500 monthly emails, Comfort starting at USD 12 per month, Power starting at USD 25 per month, and Enterprise by custom quote for businesses over 200,000 subscribers. The page advertises a 10% saving for yearly payment, but numeric annual equivalents are not retained because the accessible public state did not bind each amount reliably.
Official pricing pagePricing cautions
- Paid price scales with subscriber tier and send allowance: The starting Comfort and Power amounts are not representative of larger audiences; buyers must set their subscriber tier to calculate the applicable price.
- Annual discount is not retained as a derived price: The page advertises 10% yearly savings, but each annual amount was not reliably bound in the accessible public state and annual payment does not itself establish a contract commitment.
- Dedicated IP requires eligibility review: MailerLite requires an authenticated domain, at least 50,000 weekly emails, and a deliverability assessment before enabling a dedicated IP.

Automation and customer journeys17%
80MailerLite includes visual multi-step automations, with plan-dependent limits on active automations, triggers, and steps, so it supports journey building while keeping the scope bounded by edition.
Campaign creation and usability17%
86Approachable drag-and-drop, rich-text, and HTML editors plus unlimited templates on Comfort support day-to-day campaign builds for creators and small teams, with dynamic content available once Comfort or Power is selected.
Audience management and segmentation16%
80Rule-based dynamic segments and manual interest groups are the primary audience tools for newsletter and ecommerce splits, which suits common list targeting without claiming advanced governed audience orchestration.
Deliverability and compliance16%
72MailerLite includes domain authentication and a dedicated-IP route that requires eligibility review, which supports deliverability governance, but the facts do not establish built-in spam testing or a broader compliance framework.
Testing, reporting, and attribution13%
78A/B testing on Free and multivariate testing on Comfort and Power combine with engagement and ecommerce revenue reports to cover common optimization and performance loops within the stated reporting scope.
Integrations and governance11%
77MailerLite includes more than 100 integrations plus API and signed webhooks, which supports connectivity and controlled event exchange, but the facts do not establish bidirectional sync quality, latency, or admin-governance depth.
Support and total cost10%
76A permanent Free tier and Comfort from USD 12 per month at the starting subscriber tier keep entry cost low, paid amounts scale with subscribers and sends, yearly payment is advertised at a 10% saving without a stated commitment term, and Enterprise adds custom commercial terms with priority support and a success manager for lists over 200,000 subscribers.

Detailed strengths and purchase cautions
Why it is worth considering
- A permanent Free plan supports up to 250 subscribers and 2,500 monthly emails, giving small newsletters a defined no-cost starting path before paid tiers.
- Drag-and-drop, rich-text, and custom HTML editors, with dynamic email content on Comfort and Power, keep most campaign design work inside the product.
- Visual multi-step automations expand from Free’s low active-workflow and step caps to Power’s unlimited active automations and multiple triggers under remaining step limits.
- Campaign engagement reporting plus ecommerce revenue reporting can support Shopify or WooCommerce campaign performance tracking for store-focused senders.
What to confirm before buying
- Comfort and Power prices and send allowances scale with the selected subscriber tier, so the USD 12 and USD 25 starting amounts are not representative costs for larger lists.
- Transactional email is excluded from MailerLite and requires the separately packaged MailerSend product.
- Dedicated IP access requires an authenticated domain, at least 50,000 weekly emails, and a deliverability assessment rather than self-service inclusion.
- Built-in spam testing is outside core workflow scope, and advanced sales CRM plus highly governed enterprise journey orchestration remain limited.

GeminiAI-assisted buyer perspective82
MailerLite is a visual email marketing platform built for creators and growing teams, combining approachable drag-and-drop campaign creation with visual automations, while requiring separate packaging for transactional workflows and progressive tier upgrades as subscriber lists expand.
- Review confidence
- 82/100
Model details
- Strengths
- Provides versatile design capabilities with drag-and-drop, rich-text, and custom HTML editors, supporting dynamic email elements.
- Offers a permanent Free plan that includes campaign A/B testing, standard subscriber management, and multi-step automation visual building for up to 250 subscribers.
- Unlocks multivariate testing, unlimited templates, and up to 50 active visual automations on the starting Comfort plan.
- Facilitates direct campaign revenue tracking and reporting through native integrations with ecommerce systems like Shopify and WooCommerce.
- Cautions
- Subscription costs scale continuously based on subscriber tiers and sending volumes, meaning entry rates are not representative of larger lists.
- Lacks native transactional email capabilities within the core subscriptions, directing those use cases to the separate MailerSend product.
- Restricts dedicated IP route options to an eligibility-based review requiring domain authentication and at least 50,000 weekly emails.
- Core workflow lacks built-in spam testing capabilities for campaigns before dispatch.
xAIAI-assisted buyer perspective77
MailerLite fits creators and small marketing teams that need approachable campaign editors, visual automations, and ecommerce revenue reporting, provided they accept subscriber-tier pricing, plan-capped automation depth, and transactional email only through separate MailerSend.
- Review confidence
- 77/100
Model details
- Strengths
- A permanent Free plan supports up to 250 subscribers and 2,500 monthly emails, giving small newsletters a defined no-cost starting path before paid tiers.

- Built-in spam testing is outside core workflow scope, and advanced sales CRM plus highly governed enterprise journey orchestration remain limited.
GPTAI-assisted buyer perspective76
MailerLite fits buyers who want email campaign creation, visual automations, segmentation, testing, and reporting in a subscriber-tier product with a permanent free entry plan, but the buyer should check plan limits, the separate transactional-email product, and the eligibility rules for dedicated IP before standardizing on it.
- Review confidence
- 76/100
Model details
- Strengths
- The platform includes drag-and-drop, rich-text, and custom HTML campaign editors that support newsletter creation and template-based production workflows.
- The platform includes rule-based dynamic segments and manual interest groups, which supports audience targeting for smaller marketing teams.
- The platform includes visual multi-step automation with plan-dependent trigger and workflow limits, which supports lifecycle email programs that stay inside the purchased edition.
- The platform includes A/B and multivariate testing together with dynamic email content on paid plans, which supports experimentation beyond basic send-and-measure workflows.
- Cautions
- The Free plan is limited to 250 subscribers, 2,500 monthly emails, two seats, three active automations, and five steps per automation, so small-account economics do not carry into larger send programs.
- Transactional email is directed to the separately packaged MailerSend product, so buyers that need it in the same subscription should not treat MailerLite as a single-product fit.
- Dedicated IP is eligibility-based rather than a standard included setting, so teams that require it need to clear the authentication, volume, and deliverability review conditions first.
