Satisfied Three Year Customer
Overall, I am very satisfied, and support was great during the migration to the new version. I wish I had understood before the migration. I was creating a new account on a new platform, and my current subscription would not automatically transfer. I was locked in the free plan until my subscription was transferred, which was done quickly.
Pros
Most of my time was with MailerLite Classic, which I found easy to use and quite reliable. From the beginning, support has been excellent. I just migrated to the New MailerLite, which feels a lot more intuitive and worth the effort to switch to the New version. I spent most of my time using MailerLite Classic, which I found to be easy to use and quite reliable. From the start, their support has been excellent. I have just migrated to the new version of MailerLite, which feels much more intuitive and definitely worth the effort to switch. During my tech career, I designed and implemented intranet web-based applications for corporations. I am very sensitive to user interface and the New version looks great!
Cons
Some features were not very intuitive to use. There is good user guidance that helps. I switched to the New version because it looks easier and more intuitive user interface.

Simplified Email Sending and Opt-in Pages
Overall, I find that MailerLite has all the functionality I need without overcomplicating the simple act of writing emails and scheduling them to the proper group based on the group's interests.
I also like the easy site builder which allows me to create landing pages and automations fast for my audience.
I also find their system of creating automated sequences is simplified compared to the software I was using before. However, when you edit a sequence, the whole thing stops sending until you are done, so occasionally a subscriber might get missed.
Pros
I have been using Mailerlite for a a few years to manage my email list. The thing that got me hooked on using it was the ease in creating landing pages and segmenting the audience based on what free resource the subscriber requested.
The interface is quite easy to use. You can save a template or just edit your previous email. You can select what groups you want to receive your email. You can also schedule in advance, of course.
I think it has better deliverability than the last program I was using but I haven't tested it scientifically.
Cons
I find it a bit tricky to format the text properly sometimes. I have discovered that I need to copy my last email and leave one of the paragraphs in the email. Then I paste my text into the email. After that, I can delete the old paragraph.
Another problem I sometimes have is that the formatting bar disappears and I can't get it back. This is especially a problem when I am editing something toward the bottom of the email. Sometimes I have to cut and paste the thing I want to format. Copy it to the top of the email. Format it and then cut and paste it back into the original position.

Email Marketing Platform
I don't find their templates very exciting, but if you have design skills you can use them as a base to design your own. The drag and drop builder acts like most, so designing can be achieved in no time at all.
Pros
Mailierlite has been my go to marketing tool for a few years now because the set up is extremely easy to set up and if you have a small email list under a 1000 most of the platform options are free to use.
Cons
This company used to offer a robust customer service support along with various templates. Now as the years go on so many of the options that were great are now gone. If you want customer service you have to be paying customers and all the templates are for paid customers except a few left for free customers.

Always There to Help || Always Providing Value
I've been using them for 1.5 years. I used other services before (Mailchimp, Hubspot), and I find MailerLite a big improvement in ease-of-use and support.
Pros
- Everyone at the company is trying to help me succeed, from tech support to marketing
- They never try to up-sell you to levels you do not need and are always willing to give you the best price point
- The systems are easy to use and they provide lots of help if you get stuck.
- Features, features, features! Drag & drop, easy to edit, easy to create.
- Free websites and landing pages that you can EASILY create from scratch or from templates
- BEST OF ALL - they have amazing support from people who are cheerful, quick to answer, and clear in their descriptions.
Cons
Every now and then I wish some templates had more "edit" options in the templates. But this situation is rare.

Easy-to-use email campaign design platform for the rest of us
I have tried many different email campaign clients. MailerLite does what others don't. They designed a platform that speaks to non-corporate clients who work in creative industries. We value ease-of-use, clean, modern design choices without sacrificing professional look or functionality. Whenever I work on a campaign, I am done faster than before with great-looking results.
Pros
Designing email campaigns can be challenging. MailerLite offers easy-to-use tools that don't overwhelm but give you a set of great-looking, professional tools that even a novice can handle.
Cons
While this is not a deal-breaker, handling and creating groups of subscribers could be a little more streamlined. However, their customer service helped me out with a few easy-to-follow steps.

Great Communication Tool
Overall experience has been very positive. Especially the Customer Service folks and the multitude of help videos.
Pros
First of all, Customer Service is outstanding. It is easy to get to an agent if the help links the "BOT" gives you aren't enough.
Second, the Campaign builder is easy to use. It did take me a little to feel completely comfortable, but it is definitely user friendly and provides a number of block that you can include in your campaign. You can always figure out a way to make it look like you want. In addition, you can edit the actual HTML if needed.
Cons
I don't particularily like that you have to use the blocks to add images and other visual content to your campaign. I was used to your "monkey" competitor where you could add an image to your text box, but I figured that I can just continue the text block by appending an image block or a combined block.

Great tool. Excellent price-performance ratio
Started using it in 2020 and was happy. Switched to a more expensive and well known provider in 2022 till 2023 because people said that's the tool to use. Didn't like it that much and went back to Mailerlite in 2024 and love all the feature and possibilities, they have added since. I recommend it to all my business friends and clients. Mailerlite is all you need to start your online business, because you can even build a website and sell digital products. So it's more than a newsletter tool. Love it.
Pros
Easy to use. Many features and integrations available. Price/performance is excellent.
Cons
Would love the system language in more different ones.

Effortless Email Marketing with MailerLite
My experience with MailerLite has been incredibly positive. It's a powerful tool that simplifies email marketing, from designing newsletters to automating complex campaigns. The platform's reliability and scalability have allowed us to grow our email list effectively while maintaining high engagement rates. The insights provided by MailerLite have been invaluable in optimizing our marketing strategies. It's a cost-effective solution that delivers on its promises, making it an essential tool for marketers aiming to maximize their email marketing efforts.
Pros
What I liked most about MailerLite is its intuitive user interface and ease of use. Creating and managing email campaigns have never been more straightforward, thanks to their drag-and-drop editor and comprehensive analytics. Their customer support is exceptional, providing timely and helpful assistance whenever needed.
Cons

Great value for the cost
I manage a lot of client accounts over a variety of email marketing providers, and MailerLite is by far my favorite. It has the features I need at a reasonable price. Whenever I have issues or need help, customer service is only a few minutes away via live chat.
Pros
It's loaded with features, but it's easy to use. Other providers may be jam packed with similar features but the user interface is not intuitive.
Cons
I have two-factor authentication on my account, but a good amount of time the code I receive in the email doesn't work and I have to resend a second code before I can log in.

Great for small-base newsletters!
I use MailerLite for my personal newsletter within a small base of subscribers. It has been a great tool for a small writer on a free plan. It allows me to my newsletters every quarter without worrying.
Pros
Being able to add the additonal text in the body of the email, that can be visible under title in the email client was a game changer for me :)
Also, the emails are responsive on every device, I can track clicks as I send the emails over and update the subscriber base via CSV
Cons
Saving the email as a template and re-using it could be done a bit easier
The old visual editor was a bit clunky

Not bad, but there is room for improvement. There is a lot of potential here.
Pros
It is affordable. You don't have to pay too much until you grow up.
Cons
Contact management. In order to make changes you have to enter one by one, edit, exit again, then enter the next one. You can't do it like in Mailchimp, where once you enter a contact you can go from one to another by simply moving forward.

Love it must have
Overall, my experience with MailerLite has been extremely positive. I have been able to effectively communicate with my target audience and drive engagement with my email campaigns. The analytics provided have allowed me to track the success of my campaigns and make data-driven decisions for future strategies.
Pros
The user-friendly interface of MailerLite is what I liked most about this product. Navigating through the platform is incredibly easy, and I was able to create professional-looking email campaigns in just a few minutes. The drag-and-drop editor is intuitive and allows for customization of templates to fit my brand's aesthetic. Additionally, the automation features have saved me a significant amount of time by setting up drips campaigns and autoresponders.
Cons
However, one aspect that I found to be a bit cumbersome was the lack of advanced segmentation options. While the basic segmentation features are sufficient for my current needs, I can see how more complex campaigns might require more robust segmentation capabilities.

No need to worry, they are right there to help!

An Impressed Customer
My experience with MailerLite so far has been excellent. I am definitely impressed by how they treat me as a customer, because not every company knows how to appreciate their customers and make them feel appreciated.
I am definitely looking forward to using all of their service fully and their different features soon.
Pros
I just recently subscribed to MailerLite and have not dived into the different features as yet. But I do love everything they have to offer. What I can talk about is my experience with their awesome customer service. Most of the time when I reach out to them for help with something or their assistance, they immediately respond within a few seconds or less than a minute. That is some awesome customer service right there that I appreciate and that I'm grateful for.

MailerLite - We've Been Using It For a While. Here's What I Think
MailerLite has proven sufficient for us with getting out our weekly newsletters, building a mailing list, and doing so at a competitive price.
Pros
I love that MailerLite's pricing follows a "pay as you grow" model. We've been using MailerLite for a while now for our weekly newsletter. At the start, the service was free for our first 1000 subscribers, but we switched to one of the premium plans once we grew our list beyond that count. It's nice to be able to upgrade after we've also had returns on the mailing list service, rather than paying a premium price as a newbie. It should be noted that MailerLite also has competitive pricing in comparison to other mailing list services.
Cons
In all honestly, I don't particularly have a negative to offer about MailerLite at the moment from my own experience. However, I did hear that they deleted many free users from their systems earlier in the year. One may need to be cautious with regard to the longevity of their free plan.

Straightforward and functional
I use it twice a month now to send out newsletters. So far, everything goes smoothly and I have actually recommended it to my writer friends. It is such a great tools for starting authors who wants to build their brands but not breaking the bank yet.
Pros
When I first started MailerLite, I didn't have any knowledge about email marketing and struggled to figure out how to set up everything. MailerLite provided actual help (in person, not bots) who patiently guided me throughout the process. They also respond queries to emails in reasonable time and again, I was corresponding with actual person. I think this is the competitive advantage of MailerLite.
Cons
Nothing, really.
Initial setup was challenging, but it should be the same with others.

Mailer Lite is a user friendly platform, with nice and intuitive design. Importing our contacts was easy i started my first campaign in minutes. I had no problems with emails landing in spam.
Pros
Is a simple to use email marketing system. Setting up is fast and easy with great support. My favorite feature is the drag and drop email editor, helps a lot when creating an email. You have many templates to choose from if you dont have the design already made and the AI feature really does its job.
Cons
Sometimes the builder has a little lag.

After 6 months of use
Overall, for the price we were happy. If you are looking for email services, they are wonderful. If you want to design, build and host your website too you might want to consider doing that elsewhere and pair those services together.
Pros
For the price we got a wonderful deal to be able to create and host a new website and also build our email following. In the end we were able to meet all of these needs at a very affordable price which was crucial for our new business.
Cons
Once you dig into MailerLite you can see that they added services over time - the website creation and hosting were not part of their original offerings. The design experience was frustrating and glitchy and the instructional videos were outdated and didn't match to the current user experience. We got the job done but it definitely took way longer than we expected.
