MailerLite is an email marketing tool built for small businesses, creators and solo founders. It covers email campaigns, automation workflows, landing pages, simple websites and sign-up forms, and it has a free plan for up to 250 subscribers. Paid plans start at $10.80 per month billed yearly.

Who is MailerLite for?

MailerLite suits small businesses that send regular newsletters and want a few automated sequences, such as a welcome series or an abandoned cart reminder, in a tool that G2 reviewers most often praise for ease of use. Its pricing is based on subscriber count, so it stays cheap for small lists. Some G2 reviewers find it limited for advanced CRM needs.

What are MailerLite's main features?

Email campaigns

Every plan includes three editors: drag and drop, custom HTML and a simple text editor. Paid plans add unlimited templates, dynamic emails, multivariate testing, an AI writing assistant and smart sending.

Automation

The automation builder is a visual workflow. A subscriber enters through a trigger, such as joining a group, completing a form, clicking a link, a date or a purchase, and then moves through delays, conditions, A/B splits and actions. Actions include sending an email or webhook, updating a field, moving the subscriber between groups and notifying your team. Ready-made templates cover welcome sequences, abandoned carts and webinar invitations. For background, read our guide to drip marketing.

Landing pages, websites and forms

You can build landing pages, simple websites, pop-ups and embedded forms to grow your list. The Free plan includes 1 landing page and 1 website, Comfort 10 of each and Power unlimited.

Ecommerce and integrations

Purchase-based triggers work with Shopify and WooCommerce, and MailerLite also connects to Stripe. It lists more than 100 integrations and offers MCP and API access.

What do users say about MailerLite?

MailerLite is rated 4.6 out of 5 on G2 at the time of checking. Reviewers most often praise its ease of use, quick setup and value for money compared with larger email tools. Many also mention helpful support.

The most common complaints on G2 are missing features, such as reusable content blocks, a learning curve for some parts of the app and mixed experiences with support. Some reviewers say prices climb steeply for very large lists, and a few report delays with account approval.

When should you choose an alternative?

  • You need detailed automation and lead scoring. ActiveCampaign goes further on conditional logic and contact scoring.
  • You want marketing tied to a CRM. HubSpot Marketing Hub or EngageBay keep contacts, deals and campaigns together.
  • You send many emails to a small list. Brevo prices mainly by email volume; see our Brevo page.
