It seems like only yesterday that I was writing about Converting from Mailchimp to Aweber. In actuality, it has been over 2 years!
At the time, I switched because my Mailchimp monthly fees had gone up by over 40% in 3 years. I had used Aweber many years ago, and they were touting how much lower their prices were… so I switched all of my sites to them.
Fast forward only two years and my Aweber account is going up from $54.99 to $90! That’s almost double! Given how infrequently I use my list (if you are on it, you know it’s about 4 times a year), that’s a big jump.
I don’t have anything against Aweber. I have no doubt that they have added a lot of bells and whistles to their system that probably make it a good deal if you use all of them. I just don’t. I have an RSS feed of my blog posts (that I write a few of a year) and send a one-off email now and again.
I was on a PMA call and someone suggested Brevo to me. I checked them out and it seems like they will do what I need for only $35 a month. We shall see if an email goes out from this blog post!
If you have other suggestions, feel free to drop them in the comments. I have a feeling I am not the only affiliate marketer who is going to be changing in the next 4 weeks. Changing email providers is SUCH a pain, especially when you have multiple sites with integrations. So picking a good one is crucial!
I am going to stay with Aweber. Too lazy to change and I have like 100 list. Been with them since like 2004. I always considered it a bargain.
I wouldn’t change either if I had that many lists. I’m struggling right now to get 3 of them changed! If the increase had been like 20%, I wouldn’t have bothered.
