"We replaced three tools with Yaplet and our response time dropped from 4 hours to 2 minutes. The AI gets it right almost every single time."

Mailchimp alternative
Mailchimp's email builder, without the per-contact ransom.
Mailchimp's pricing climbs with every contact you import — and pings you with overage emails the day you cross a tier. Yaplet ships the same drag-and-drop builder and automation flows, plus live chat, AI agent and a knowledge base, on one flat plan.
- No per-contact pricing tiers — one flat plan, predictable bill
- Drag-and-drop email builder, automation flows, A/B tests
- Newsletter, live chat, AI agent and help center in one tool
- EU-hosted, GDPR by default. Your contact list stays in the EU.

The same builder, with no contact tax
Drag, drop, send — without watching the contact count
Mailchimp's pricing punishes growth. Every imported contact pushes you closer to the next tier, and the next overage email. Yaplet's pricing doesn't care how many contacts you have — it's a flat plan, predictable across the year.
- Drag-and-drop blocks: text, image, button, divider, columns, products
- Automation flows on signup, behaviour, tag changes and dates
- A/B test subject lines and content with real-time results
One product, not three vendors
Newsletter, chat, AI agent — same login, same brand, same bill
Most Mailchimp customers also pay Intercom or Crisp for support and Canny for feature requests. Yaplet replaces all three. The newsletter you send links straight to articles your AI agent already knows about.
- Send a campaign, route replies into the same Yaplet inbox
- Knowledge base articles power both the newsletter and the chat AI
- Free forever — most small teams never need to upgrade

We can scope your migration in 15 minutes.
Yes. Export your audience from Mailchimp as a CSV and import it into Yaplet. Tags and custom fields come across. We can help with mapping if it's a large list.
Automation flows can't import directly — they have to be rebuilt in Yaplet's flow editor. Most teams rebuild their three or four critical flows in an afternoon. We can help.
Both Mailchimp and Yaplet maintain established sender infrastructure with strong inbox placement. We support SPF, DKIM and DMARC on your domain. Most teams see equivalent or better placement after switching.
Mailchimp has a much larger ecosystem of pre-built templates, themes and integrations. If your team relies on a specific Mailchimp integration today, check our list first to confirm we cover the same ground.
Honestly, if you only need email, Mailchimp's basic plan is competitive. Yaplet shines when you also need live chat, AI support, a help center or marketing automation — all bundled into the same bill.
Yes. Yaplet is built and hosted in the EU. Your contact list, campaign data and subscriber history never leave the EU. GDPR by default, no upgrade required.
