BigMailer or MailerLite – Which Platform Is Right For You?
Do you send simple weekly or x2/week newsletters and maybe some automations for your welcome series? If sending email newsletters is all you are looking for you may decide that paying x2-5 more for a platform with a lot of features isn’t necessary.
Do you have a membership site and need to send transactional emails, perhaps some event notifications? Consider the additional cost of sending those with MailerLite.
Do you run a DTC business and need e-commerce or Facebook integration? MailerLite is the best option for you.
