Emails that sell
Product blocks, order history and segments by spend and last order come built in, not bolted on.
MAILCHIMP ALTERNATIVE
A Mailchimp alternative built for selling, with AI that writes for you
Mailchimp is a good general newsletter tool. EterMail is made for businesses that sell: AI writes campaigns and flows from your products and customer data, and you pay for the emails you send, not for every contact on your list.
- Pay per email, not per contact
- Real Shopify order data
- Cold outreach included

WHY TEAMS SWITCH
What gets better
Less time in the editor
Say what you want to send and review a finished, on-brand draft.
Prospecting in the same place
Cold outreach runs from separate mailboxes and domains, so it never affects your newsletter’s delivery.
Fair pricing for big lists
You don’t pay every month for contacts you rarely email.
BE HONEST
When Mailchimp is still the better fit
If you send a simple newsletter and want a drag-and-drop editor, landing pages, or postcards and social posts in the same tool, Mailchimp covers more of that ground.
If you sell online, run a SaaS product or an app, and want AI to do the writing while you approve, EterMail is the better match.

Frequently asked questions
Is EterMail cheaper than Mailchimp?
Often, for lists you don’t email every day, because you pay per email rather than per contact. Try your own numbers in the calculator on our pricing page.
Can I import my Mailchimp list?
Yes. Export subscribed contacts as CSV and import them; record where their consent came from.
Can I send cold email with EterMail?
Yes, from your own Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or SMTP mailboxes on a separate domain, with warm-up and daily limits. It needs to be enabled for your workspace first.
Does EterMail have a free plan?
Yes: 1,000 credits a month (about 500 marketing emails), no card needed.
