Great for free users - my concern is that it won't scale or that they're not as profitable as they'd like to be.

- bjonathan 16y agoI dont worry for Mailchimp, when I see the pricing difference between Amazon SES* and them (even if it's not the same product I know and agree) * http://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/ http://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/
- amdev 16y agoI work at MailChimp. I don't worry about that.
- dlib 16y agoI've often wondered why MailChimp doesn't offer more support for transactional mails. I know there is some stuff in the API but it seems bolted on (am I wrong?). I would really like to use the standard templating for email campaigns that MailChimp has, and use it for transactional mails. An API call to MailChimp with some some arguments would then send a template, the variables (dynamically) filled in, to the user. Email campaigns are so easy in MailChimp and I'd like to maintain the look of those mails in my transactional mails. Nonetheless, you guys provide a great service!
- gtuhl 16y agoWe do have transactional support via Amazon SES now: http://blog.mailchimp.com/mailchimp-launches-transactional-email-service-on-top-of-amazon-ses/ http://blog.mailchimp.com/mailchimp-launches-transactional-e... It rolled out this very week.
