With MailChimp’s Forever Free plan, you can send 12,000 emails a month to a list of up to 2,000 subscribers, but there are a few features that are only available to users with paid accounts.

Is it really free forever?

It sure is. As long as you've got less than 2,000 subscribers, you can send up to 12,000 emails per month without paying us a dime. We won't even ask for a credit card.

Why should I upgrade to a paid account?

Besides getting access to additional features, upgrading to a paid account allows you to remove the MailChimp badge from the footer of your newsletters. You'll also want to upgrade if you plan on sending more than 12,000 emails per month.
