“By far the most effective
segmentation I’ve ever seen. I’ve
been with Ongage for four years and
haven’t even scratched the surface
of what’s possible.”

to create goal-crushing email campaigns

Mailchimp can only take
your email marketing so far

Mailchimp is OK for new businesses looking for basic email marketing tools, a custom domain and even an online store.

But as you grow, Mailchimp’s do-it-all approach lacks specialist email features to send timely, relevant campaigns that get opened and drive sales.

Growing marketers find Mailchimp limiting

“The automations are limited and I think can’t cater to the needs of larger businesses where you need more granular control and extensive filtering.”

Verified Mailchimp review on G2

“[With Mailchimp] you’re going to find limitations along the way when you want to get really into things like logic sequences, highly detailed segmenting, automatic reports etc.”

Verified Mailchimp review on G2

“While it’s great for simple campaigns, it does not allow for sophisticated segmentation of audiences.”

Verified Mailchimp review on G2

“There’s no advanced segmentation offerings if you need further customization. […] It doesn’t have the automation capabilities at larger scales that are needed to target audiences.”

Verified Mailchimp review on G2

“There are a lot of limitations in this software which may be a miss out opportunity for businesses.”

Verified Mailchimp review on G2

“It is a basic software, so compared with other platforms available on the market you won’t get all the full features for someone looking to go above and beyond when it comes to email marketing.”
