Mailchimp alternative
A simpler Mailchimp alternative for small businesses
SendDuo is built for small businesses and online shops that want to send good email without learning a big tool. Here is how it compares, honestly, and how to move your list over.
No credit card. 2,000 emails a month free.
Where SendDuo is different
- Pricing by the emails you send. Every plan includes as many contacts as monthly emails, so you can email your whole list at least once a month.
- Unsubscribed, bounced and complained contacts never count toward your plan.
- No surprise bills: sending pauses at your limit, and you choose whether to upgrade, buy an email pack or wait for the 1st.
- A domain wizard that shows the exact DNS records to add and checks them for you.
- Deliverability we watch: SendDuo tracks bounces and complaints on every send and pauses risky campaigns before inbox providers notice.
Where Mailchimp may suit you better
Mailchimp is a larger platform, with features SendDuo does not offer, such as A/B testing and many more integrations. If you rely on those, it may still be the better fit. If you mostly send newsletters, promotions and store automations, SendDuo keeps that simple.
Move your list in minutes
Export your audience from Mailchimp as a CSV file and import it in SendDuo. SendDuo recognizes Mailchimp’s columns, and people who unsubscribed stay unsubscribed.
On WooCommerce, SendDuo also reads the opt-in boxes of Mailchimp for WooCommerce and MC4WP, so customers keep the choice they made.
Pricing
The Free plan includes 2,000 emails a month and up to 1,000 contacts, with no credit card. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month.
Questions, answered
Can I import my list from Mailchimp?
Yes. Export your contacts from Mailchimp as a CSV file, then import it on the Contacts page. SendDuo recognizes Mailchimp’s columns.
Do I need my own domain?
Yes. SendDuo sends from your own domain, like hello@yourshop.com, which reaches inboxes more reliably. Free addresses like Gmail cannot be used to send marketing email.
How much does SendDuo cost?
