MailerLite is an email marketing tool for Small businesses and Creators, offered as freemium ($12/mo). Founded in 2010. Popular alternatives include ActiveCampaign, Systeme.io, Mailchimp.

About MailerLite

MailerLite is an email marketing platform from Vilnius, Lithuania, founded in 2010. The same company also makes MailerSend for transactional email and MailerCheck for list verification. MailerLite is known for a clean interface, good deliverability and prices that stay among the lowest in its category as a list grows.

The product covers drag-and-drop, rich text and custom HTML editors, automation workflows with triggers, conditions and delays, segmentation, A/B testing, landing pages, a simple website builder, signup forms and pop-ups. Creators can sell digital products and paid newsletter subscriptions through Stripe, and e-commerce integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce and others support product blocks and abandoned cart flows. An AI assistant helps with subject lines and copy. A free plan covers small lists, and paid plans scale by subscriber count, with higher tiers adding unlimited users, custom HTML, Facebook integration and more automation options.

MailerLite fits small businesses, bloggers, creators and nonprofits that want a polished tool at a fair price. New accounts go through an approval process that can delay launch, and reporting and automation are less advanced than ActiveCampaign or Klaviyo. Mailchimp has more integrations and brand recognition at a higher price, Brevo is attractive when you also need SMS and transactional email, and Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is more creator-focused.
