AWeber vs Mailchimp

We know passionate entrepreneurs and creators don't always thrive on a 9 to 5 schedule. If your business is a side hustle, you don't have the luxury of working traditional hours. At AWeber, we're committed to helping you succeed around the clock. You can call, email, or live chat with AWeber's award-winning team Customer Solutions Team 24/7. MailChimp only offers phone support on their premium level, and for Mailchimp Free, after 30 days, there is no email or live chat support.

Your subscribers are unique - treat them that way! Dynamic segmentation ensures your subscribers receive content that is relevant to their needs. As a result, you have more engaged readers, better click-through rates, and more sales. Dynamic segmentation is so important to help our users succeed that we include it in the AWeber Free and AWeber Pro plan. Mailchimp only offers dynamic segmentation for the MailChimp premium level.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, so AWeber includes everything you need to create amazing-looking emails in our AWeber Free plan. You will get unrestricted access to a huge library of professionally designed templates and stock images at no extra charge, full access to our drag and drop editor, AWeber’s AI-powered Smart Designer that creates amazing-looking branded emails in just seconds, or use AWeber's HTML Editor to create your own custom HTML templates. MailChimp's free plan restricts access to its most popular email templates. And with Mailchimp, you need to upgrade to one of their premium plans to create custom HTML templates.

Web push notifications are short, one-time messages that appear on a user's desktop — usually in the corner of the screen — when they have a web browser open. Web push notifications instantly deliver direct and time-sensitive messages linking directly to a website, landing page, sign up form, or shopping cart. AWeber wants everyone to take advantage of the power of web push notifications. That’s why AWeber's web push notifications are included in all plans for no additional cost. Mailchimp does not offer web push notifications on any of their plans.

At AWeber, we are committed to helping you succeed around the clock with our award-winning customer solutions team. You can call, email, or live chat with AWeber’s customer solutions team 24/7 without time restrictions, no matter which plan you select. Mailchimp only offers phone support for its most expensive premium plan. And Mailchimp Free only provides email and live chat support for the first 30 days of your subscription.

All AWeber plans include essential premium features, like email automations, dynamic segmentation, and web push notifications. Mailchimp only provides access to email automation on their two most expensive plans, and dynamic segmentation is only available with a Mailchimp premium plan, web push notifications are not offered on any Mailchimp plan.

Do you have multiple team members that need to access your account? AWeber includes unlimited team member access with each account. Team members have their own account credentials and permission options on all AWeber plans. Mailchimp only permits multiple team members to access an account if you have Mailchimp premium.

Both AWeber Free and AWeber Pro offer a free migration service to transfer your contacts and marketing assets to AWeber. Mailchimp does not provide migration assistance for any of their plans.

AWeber Free is available for users who have less than 500 subscribers. Once you have over 500 subscribers, your subscription cost is based on the number of contacts in your account. Complete information is available on AWeber’s pricing page, including discounts for quarterly and annual subscriptions.
