Why teams leave

Why marketing teams are leaving Mailchimp

Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.

Mailchimp bills per contact. Reddit thread from r/shopify

"about 70% of my list is basically dead... And I'm paying $325/month for all of them."

Mailchimp is email-first. SMS is an add-on. Push and in-app require separate tools. Journeys spread across three or four systems.

Mailchimp Journeys are template-driven. Behavioral triggers from your product require middleware.

01 / 03

We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.

Case Study

StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.

Frequently asked questions
