“Sending Drip campaigns, setting up subscribe forms and linking with other software to create automations, all super easily done. Overall is a really well thought out piece of software, and the easiest to use considering its power.”

Unlimited email sends.

Mailchimp’s monthly email sends limits you from sending 10x to 15x your number of contacts per month depending on the plan you’re on. Drip, on the other hand, offers unlimited monthly email sends for all its customers up to 30,000 people. (Yes, really.)
