The simple Mailchimp alternative, minus the marketing machine.
Mailchimp kept adding journeys, audiences and dashboards, retired TinyLetter, and now charges for every contact you hold. TinyCourier goes the other way: a list, an editor, a send button, and a bill you can read in one breath. All features on every plan, free up to 500 subscribers.
Free for up to 500 subscribers. No credit card.
Mailchimp’s Free plan now tops out at 250 contacts and its pricing climbs with every contact you keep, per its own pricing page. See their pricing
Why people leave Mailchimp for TinyCourier
You wanted to email your readers, not run a marketing department. This is the tool that remembers the difference.
Simple on purpose
No customer-journey maze to learn. Simple automations when you want them, otherwise open the editor, write, hit send. The whole tool fits in your head.
Priced flat, not per contact
You pay for the size of your list, with every feature included. Your bill doesn’t balloon because you grew, and nothing is gated behind a higher tier.
Built to reach the inbox
Proper SPF, DKIM, custom sending domains and one-click unsubscribe to RFC standard, included on every plan. Your newsletter lands, without a deliverability dashboard to babysit.
Your list stays yours
Import a CSV and you’re sending in minutes. Export the whole thing anytime, no lock-in, no offboarding wall. You can always leave with everything.
