Mailchimp pricing has always struck me as a bit perverse. I have a mailing list of about 20k people for A Soft Murmur[1] and I send very occasional emails. A "pay as you go" Mailchimp plan costs about 1 cent per email, so in my case $200 per newsletter. But a "monthly" plan only costs $150 per month for 20k subscribers, with "unlimited" emails per month. So it's cheaper for me to go on the monthly plan for one month, even if I know I'll only send out one newsletter during that time. If there's any chance at all that I might send more than one email in that month (rare but it has happened), then it's less than half the cost. It just strikes me as weird. I should really switch to a cheaper provider, but given that I only send a handful of emails per year, I haven't found the time yet. [1] https://asoftmurmur.com https://asoftmurmur.com
