Mailchimp pricing at fixed list sizes
Mailchimp bills on contacts stored, and every plan carries a send allowance tied to that count. Here is what each plan costs at eight list sizes, plus the parts of the bill the pricing page does not show.
Mailchimp pricing calculator
Find your list size in the first column and read across. Each cell is the monthly price Mailchimp publishes for that plan, with the twelve month total worked out beside it.
Jump to a size: 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000. Over 10,000 contacts, the full table further down runs to 100,000.

Which contact band your list lands in
Mailchimp bills the band a list falls in, at the band's upper end, and every band carries its own send limit. These are all the bands the pricing page prints up to 200,000 contacts.

A 1,000 contact list sits in the 501-1,500 band, which is why the 1,000 contact cells above are derived from that band. The derived band prices were read from the pricing data Mailchimp's page loads.
How Mailchimp decides what to charge
Mailchimp bills on the number of contacts stored in an audience, and each plan carries a monthly send allowance tied to that count. Essentials allows 10 times the contact count per month, Standard 12 times, Premium 15 times. Contacts who unsubscribed still sit in the audience and still count until they are archived.
One detail does most of the damage to a Mailchimp bill: unsubscribed contacts keep counting until they are archived, so a list that churns pays for people it can no longer email.
- Subscribed, unsubscribed and non subscribed contacts all count toward the monthly contact limit. Non subscribed means someone who interacted without opting in to marketing, for example through a connected store, an integration or an import. Read off About your contacts on 26 September 2026.
- Cleaned, pending, archived and deleted contacts do not count. Cleaned is where hard bounces and repeated soft bounces land, and a pending contact who never confirms the opt in is removed after 60 days. Read off About your contacts on 26 September 2026.
- Archiving is the way to stop paying for a contact without losing the history: archived contacts do not count toward the billing tier, keep their report data and can be unarchived. A contact in more than one audience has to be archived from each. Read off Archive or unarchive contacts on 26 September 2026.
- Audiences do not share data, so a contact in more than one audience adds to the total once per audience. Mailchimp's own example counts one address in 2 audiences as 2 contacts, and it recommends one primary audience organized with tags or segments for that reason. Read off Create a Mailchimp audience on 26 September 2026.
Going over your contact or send limit
Mailchimp does not stop a paid account at the limit. It bills the overage instead, in blocks whose price it shows only inside an account.
- On a paid plan, a contact total or send count past the plan's limit does not interrupt service. It shows up as an additional charge on the monthly bill, for one or more add on contact blocks. Read off About additional charges on 26 September 2026.
- The same add on contact blocks. Each block carries the plan's send multiple; Mailchimp's own example is a 1,000 contact block on Standard that includes 12,000 sends. Block size and price are shown only inside a logged in account. Read off About additional charges on 25 September 2026.
- On the monthly bill, based on the peak contact total during the billing period, so deleting contacts later in the month does not lower that bill. Raising the tier removes the additional charges; a temporary spike needs a full cycle at the lower count. Read off About additional charges on 25 September 2026.
Overage fees compared sets Mailchimp beside the vendors that publish a per email rate.
Annual plans and the 15 percent promotion
Mailchimp sells annual plans, but only through sales and only on larger lists, so there is no annual price to put in the table.
- Annual plans exist for Standard and Premium at 10,000 contacts or more, sold through sales: the pricing page says to contact sales to learn about pricing and eligibility. No annual price is printed, so the annual column on this site stays empty for every Mailchimp plan. Read off the Mailchimp pricing page on 26 September 2026.
- The discount the page does print is a promotion, not an annual price: businesses with 10,000 or more contacts can save 15 percent on their first 12 months, still billed monthly, and keep the discount if they change to Premium or Essentials. Read off the Mailchimp pricing page on 26 September 2026.
Yearly against monthly for every vendor shows who prints an annual price and what it saves.
The Mailchimp pricing calculator works out Essentials, Standard and Premium at 500, 2,500 and 5,000 contacts and prices any of the eight list sizes against the other vendors.
What the free plan allows
The free plan was cut by December 2025; the before and after are dated in the change history below.
- Up to two hundred fifty contacts and five hundred sends a month, with a daily send limit of two hundred fifty. Read off About Mailchimp pricing plans on 26 September 2026.
- One audience and one seat, with owner permissions. Automation flows, A/B testing and removing the Mailchimp branding are not included. Read off Mailchimp's compare plans table on 26 September 2026.
- Going over two hundred fifty contacts puts a hold on live and test emails until the account upgrades or the contact total comes back down. Building emails and collecting contacts carry on. Read off About Mailchimp pricing plans on 26 September 2026.
What each plan includes besides contacts
Seats, audiences, automation, testing and landing pages are where the plans differ once the contact band is chosen.
| Plan | Seats | Audiences | Monthly sends | Automation | Testing | Landing pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | One, with owner permissions | One | Five hundred a month, no more than two hundred fifty a day | Not included (a free preview only) | Not included | Included, with Mailchimp branding |
| Essentials | 3, owner and admin | 3 | 10 times the contact limit | Flows of up to 4 steps | A/B testing | Included |
| Standard | 5, adds author and viewer | 5 | 12 times the contact limit | Up to 200 flows, with branching and multiple starting points | A/B and multivariate testing | Included |
| Premium | Unlimited, adds manager | Unlimited | 15 times the contact limit | Up to 200 flows, with branching and multiple starting points | A/B and multivariate testing | Included |
- The compare plans table says up to 200 flows on Standard and Premium and flows of up to 4 steps on Essentials. The automation flows help page counts steps instead: up to 4 steps per flow on Essentials and up to 200 steps on Standard or higher. Both are Mailchimp's wording; no single figure is recorded in their place. Read off About marketing automation flows on 26 September 2026.
- Landing pages are free to all Mailchimp users, so build as many as you need. What differs by plan is branding: removing the Mailchimp branding is not included on Free. Read off About landing pages on 26 September 2026.
- Email A/B testing starts on Essentials and tests 1 variable with up to 3 variations. Multivariate tests and popup form A/B tests start on Standard. Read off Create an A/B test on 26 September 2026.
- Seats are the people who can log in. Every account has an owner, and the plan sets how many more seats and which of the 5 user levels are available. Neither this page nor the compare plans table prints a price for an extra seat. Read off Manage user levels in your account on 26 September 2026.
What the table cannot show
- Mailchimp publishes no flat annual prepay price. Discounts arrive as promotions, most recently 15 percent off for 12 months on lists above 10,000 contacts, so the annual column stays empty rather than guessed.
- The public table steps from 500 contacts straight to 1,500, so a 1,000 contact list pays the 1,500 tier price, and the 1,000 contact row shows that price.
- Essentials stops at 50,000 contacts and Standard stops at 100,000, so the top of the table is a plan change and not just a tier change.
- Passing the contact limit does not stop the account. Mailchimp adds a charge to that month's bill instead, and the fix is to move up a tier or bring the contact total back down, so a real invoice can sit above the tier price in the table.

Aside from the Constant Contact 50,000 contact fill recorded in the entry above, every rechecked figure matched the figure already on this site. ActiveCampaign still leads with annual starts-at 15/49/79 while month to month stays 19/59/99 at the 1,000 contact entry. beehiiv plan names and October 2026 prices still match Free, Lite and Pro.

Every Mailchimp contact band, and the Mailchimp page gains plan limits
/mailchimp-pricing now lists every contact band the Mailchimp pricing page prints up to 200,000 contacts, with the monthly price and send limit on Essentials, Standard and Premium. Bands already read off the rendered page stay verified; the bands between them, such as 15,001-20,000 and 50,001-75,000, are derived from the pricing data the page loads, read on 26 September 2026. The page also adds short sections on which contacts count, going over the contact or send limit, annual plans, what the free plan allows, and seats, audiences, automation, testing and landing pages by plan, each reread on Mailchimp's pricing, compare plans and help pages on 26 September 2026.
Effect on a bill. No price cell moved and no confidence label changed. Annual plans exist for Standard and Premium at 10,000 contacts or more through sales, with no printed price, so the annual column stays empty.
Mailchimp at 1,000 contacts relabeled derived from the 1,500 tier
Mailchimp's table steps from 500 to 1,500 contacts, so a 1,000 contact list pays the 1,500 tier price. A 25 September read of the Mailchimp pricing page printed 26.50 dollars a month on Essentials and 45 on Standard for the 501 to 1,500 contact band, the same figures already recorded at 1,000. Both cells move from estimate to derived, and the pages that called them upper bounds now say they are derived from the 1,500 tier.
Effect on a bill. No Mailchimp price moved. A 1,000 contact list pays 26.50 dollars a month on Essentials and 45 on Standard. No price cell on this site is an estimate now.
Mailchimp cost at 100,000 contacts page recorded
/mailchimp-cost-100000-contacts deep-dives Standard and Premium at the published 100,000 contact slider stop, the Standard plan cap. Verified monthly 800 / 1,025. Essentials is not sold above 50,000 contacts, so its cell stays empty. No standing annual rate invented. Dropped /omnisend-cost-2500 from this pack because its only published figure, Pro at 59 dollars, matches LIVE /omnisend-cost-1000; Standard at 2,500 is a tracker estimate.
Effect on a bill. No Mailchimp cell moved. The cost-at-N child, the 50,000 contact sibling and /mailchimp-pricing link to each other. /omnisend-cost-1000 now notes that the same Pro price covers 2,500 contacts.

Mailchimp cost at 1,000 contacts page recorded
/mailchimp-cost-1000-contacts deep-dives Essentials, Standard and Premium at the 1,000 contact breakpoint using the same Mailchimp cells already on the parent ladder. Essentials 26.50 and Standard 45 are estimate upper bounds of the 1,500 tier (the public table steps from 500 to 1,500). Premium stays derived flat at 350 through the 10,000 floor. Extends the LIVE 2.5k/5k/10k/25k cost ladder.

/mailchimp-cost-2500-contacts deep-dives Essentials, Standard and Premium at the published 2,500 contact slider stop using the same Mailchimp cells already on the parent ladder. Verified Essentials 45 and Standard 60. Premium stays derived flat at 350 through the 10,000 floor.

/flodesk-vs-mailchimp-pricing compares LIVE Flodesk Lite/Pro/Everything and Mailchimp Essentials/Standard/Premium dated ladders at the eight SideBySend breakpoints. Mailchimp send allowances and empty annual column are called out. Flodesk 100,000 stays empty rather than invented. Flodesk stays outside the six tables and the watchlist.
Effect on a bill. No Flodesk or Mailchimp cell moved. Both parent pricing pages and the cost-at-N children link in. Completes the Flodesk vs triangle with MailerLite and Kit.
Constant Contact vs Mailchimp pricing page recorded
/constant-contact-vs-mailchimp-pricing compares LIVE Constant Contact Lite/Standard/Premium fee-schedule cells with Mailchimp Essentials/Standard/Premium at the eight SideBySend breakpoints. Contact Sales empties stay empty. No invented mid-ladder Constant Contact band.
Effect on a bill. No Constant Contact or Mailchimp cell moved. Constant Contact stays on the watchlist outside the six tables. Both parent pricing pages link in.
Mailchimp SMS add-on model recorded without a pack ladder
Mailchimp SMS Marketing is recorded as a credit add-on on Essentials and higher, starting at 20 dollars a month, with unused credits expiring each billing cycle and credits per SMS or MMS published by sending country. The public Mailchimp pages this dataset reads do not print a verified credit-pack dollar ladder, so pack prices are left out rather than copied from third parties.
Effect on a bill. No email contact cell moved. SMS sits beside the email bill as a separate meter, and the calculator and cross vendor tables stay email-only.
Mailchimp raised legacy account prices by roughly 11 to 13 percent
Accounts still sitting on older plan pricing were moved up by about 11 to 13 percent. The public tier table did not change, so the increase only shows on invoices rather than on the pricing page.
Effect on a bill. An older Mailchimp account can now pay more than the published number for the same tier. Compare an invoice against the table rather than assuming the table applies.
Mailchimp cut the free plan to 250 contacts and 500 monthly sends
The free plan went from 500 contacts and 1,000 monthly sends to 250 contacts and 500 monthly sends, with a 250 a day cap, by December 2025. Historical, read off Mailchimp's pricing page as archived by the Wayback Machine: the 8 December 2025 capture shows the old limits and the 22 December 2025 capture the new ones. Trackers reported the change in January 2026.
Effect on a bill. A free list between 250 and 500 contacts now has to pay. The cheapest paid step is Essentials at 13 dollars a month.
