#Mailchimp free limits for free#

Post 15th May 2019 – any Seats (Users) on your account will still have access but you won’t be able to add any more.

Up to 15th May 2019 – previously on the Free Plan you could have as many Seats (Users) as you wished, with varying permission levels. I shall keep my eye on this and edit this post as necessary. EDIT June 6th: it now looks like Mailchimp have included more emails per automation if you choose the ‘onboarding series’ or ‘educational series’ – HOWEVER, under Pricing it clearly states that multi-step flows are not available to free accounts. With new automations you create on the Free plan, you can only have one email per automation. You can edit things like post-send action and triggers but you will not be able to add further emails. Post 15th May 2019 – any automations you previously created are still included in your account. Up to 15th May 2019 – you could create any type of automation you wanted with as many emails in your sequence. People want value from an email first and foremost two of my favourite business/marketing experts, Jeff Walker and Marie Forleo, have no branding or fancy layout at all. This may sound limiting but it’s not really a huge issue to be honest. If you want to create a new template, you only have access to a basic range. Post 15th May 2019 – any templates you previously created will still be available to you. Up to 15th May 2019 – you had access to all the templates that Mailchimp offered. Otherwise, you can ‘archive’ these contacts (you can always un-archive them later). If you will not use any of the subscribers, whatever their status, for any other marketing use then delete them from your account. Actually, Mailchimp are making these subscriber changes starting 15th June so you have some time do some subscriber management. As before, if an email address is in more than one audience, Mailchimp sees that as more than one person. Post 15th May 2019 – Mailchimp now includes all contacts in your subscriber account, except clean and archived. If the same person’s email is in two Audiences, Mailchimp saw that as two people. Mailchimp did not include unsubscribers, cleaned email addresses or transactional subscribers only via an online store (receiving, for example, an order notification). Up to 15th May 2019 – if you had less than 2,000 active subscribers then you did not have to pay. Legacy accounts will keep all Audiences already created but you cannot create any new ones unless you upgrade. Post 15th May 2019 – the Free plan now only allows you one Audience. Mailchimp encouraged you to have one Audience with many Groups and Segments (although that wasn’t always easy in practice). Up to 15th May 2019 – you could have as many Audiences (Lists) as you wanted. If you are too then the main points you need to be aware of are:- Audiences The majority of my clients and business owners who I know are using Mailchimp are on the Free Plan. If you are a legacy user and want to upgrade, you will move to one of the new plans. Any new users will have to join one of the new plans – Free, Essential, Standard and Premium. You will be on their legacy pricing plans. If you had a Mailchimp account before 15th May 2019, MailChimp will see you as a ‘legacy’ user.

But what does that mean for people who, up until now, have been using Mailchimp for free and purely to send emails? They are beginning to position themselves as an all-in-one marketing platform, with email just one part of that offering.

Mailchimp announced some big changes on 15th May 2019.
