The verdict
Mailchimp is a marketing Swiss Army knife. If you need automation, landing pages, CRM, and social media management, it delivers. But if you just want to send newsletters (and most newsletter creators do), Mailchimp is expensive overkill. CocoMail does the newsletter part better and cheaper: unlimited contacts, your own domain, predictable pricing. Don't pay for a marketing suite when all you need is a great newsletter tool.
