MailerLite review

MailerLite covers what a small business or creator needs for a newsletter without a steep price. The free plan includes email campaigns, automations, a landing page, signup forms and all three email editors, though it is limited to 250 subscribers and 2,500 emails a month. Comfort, from $12 per month, adds unlimited templates, dynamic emails, campaign auto-resend, multivariate testing, an unsubscribe page builder, a preference center and an AI writing assistant, with up to 50 automations and 3 user seats. Power, from $25 per month, removes most limits and adds 24/7 live chat support and multiple automation triggers. MailerLite also lets you sell digital products and bookings and offers MCP and API access on paid plans. The trade-off is that the cheapest plans have caps on automations, forms and seats, so larger teams will move to Power sooner than they expect. For list building and regular sends at a small scale, it is the best balance of features and price we found.
