What is the pricing currency?

Mailchimp in Singapore states its fees in Singapore dollars. However, you can pay in a range of currencies, using major credit cards or PayPal.

It's important to note you might encounter a couple of scenarios where your business in Singapore gets charged Mailchimp fees in a foreign currency rather than SGD. By understanding these scenarios, you can take proactive steps to manage your billing effectively and avoid unnecessary foreign transaction fees.

💡Considerations for Cross-Currency Billing:
  • Centralised Payment Systems: If your business (eg. a Singapore subsidiary) uses a centralised payment system or corporate credit card based in another country, your Mailchimp account might be linked to this system, resulting in billing in the currency of the payment system rather than SGD. This can lead to additional currency conversion fees.
  • Initial Account Setup: If your Mailchimp account was initially set up by your business in another country before establishing a branch in Singapore, the account might still be billed in the original currency unless updated. This is another scenario where you might incur cross-currency charges.

Free Plan - key features

The Mailchimp Free Plan has no monthly fee, but only offers quite limited functionality. It could still be an excellent way to test out the services available and see if you like the Mailchimp interface, though - with no risk. Key features include:

  • Up to 500 contacts
  • Send 1,000 emails a month, or 500 a day
  • Limited to 1 user and 1 audience
  • Email only Mailchimp support - only offered for 30 days
  • Limited reporting and analytics
  • Automated customer journeys are not included
  • Forms and landing pages are available - other Mailchimp email marketing and segmentation tools are not included

Is the Free Plan right for my business?

The Mailchimp Free plan is fairly limited and doesn’t come with all of Mailchimp’s key features.

This may mean it’s an option for businesses looking to test the waters with Mailchimp before upgrading - just bear in mind that you won’t be able to test drive all of the features without paying your monthly fees.


Essentials Plan - key features

The Essentials Plan has a monthly fee, and starts to open up more features to Mailchimp users. It’s still somewhat limited, but there are some opportunities to test out other core mailchimp features like customer journeys. Key features of this plan include:

  • Up to 500 contacts
  • Monthly email sends - 10 x contacts
  • Supports 3 users, and 3 audiences
  • 24/7 mail and chat support

Is the Essentials Plan right for my business?

  • Up to 10,000 contacts
  • Monthly email sends - 15 x contacts

How to save on your Mailchimp bill next month

Using services like Mailchimp can help give your Singapore business a boost - but paying a subscription fee can also be a drain. Here’s how to make sure you’re getting the most from your Mailchimp service:

  • Compare the different plan options to decide which suits you best - and take advantage of any free trial offer that Mailchimp is running at the time you sign up
  • Audit your own and your teams’ usage of Mailchimp regularly, particularly looking at more sophisticated tools like AI features and custom coded templates - if these aren’t used regularly you may choose to move to a cheaper plan
  • Check the currency you’re being billed in - if you’re paying cross currencies, using a multi-currency account and card from a provider like Wise Business cuts out foreign transaction fees and can make it cheaper to use the services you need

Mailchimp Vs Mailerlite price comparison

If you’re still torn between different services for your email marketing needs, you may be wondering about how a Mailchimp Vs Mailerlite³ price comparison shapes up. Both are popular products, and as we’ve seen, Mailchimp has a good range of 4 different plans to suit different customer needs.

Mailerlite has 3 different pricing plans⁴ - one with no ongoing fees, a plan for growing businesses, billed at 9 USD (about 12 SGD) a month, and a more comprehensive Advanced plan for 18 USD (about 24 SGD) a month. As you can see, even the Mailerlite Advanced plan is cheaper than the Mailchimp Standard package, offering unlimited emails, and unlimited users and audiences. There’s a pretty comprehensive suite of features offered by Mailerlite, which you’ll want to compare against the key features of Mailchimp which you like.

Ultimately there’s not one single winner between Mailchimp Vs Mailerlite. If you want a full service package, Mailerlite’s Advanced package may win on price, but you’ll still need to check that all the features which matter to you are included. If you want a cheaper option you can compare both on cheaper plans - or even give their free products a whirl to see which resonates with your ways of working and your business needs.
