Replace Mailchimp
Audience lists, campaign composition and delivery reporting for marketing email.
Why teams move off Mailchimp
Mailchimp holds your contact list, which makes it the hardest vendor to leave and the one most worth not entering.
What you give up
Campaign composition, templates and delivery analytics.
This directory says so when an engine only covers part of the job. A replacement that needs a caveat is still worth knowing about — it just should not surprise you in week three.
1 Rails engine that replaces Mailchimp
Questions
- Is there an open-source alternative to Mailchimp for Rails?
- Yes — Mailkick. It mounts into an application you already run, so there is no second deployment and no second database.
- What do I give up by replacing Mailchimp?
- Campaign composition, templates and delivery analytics.
- How do I replace Mailchimp in a Rails app?
- Add mailkick to your Gemfile, mount it in config/routes.rb at /mailkick, and run its migrations. The whole integration is two lines and a migration.
- How much does replacing Mailchimp save?
- Mailchimp is priced from $13/mo. The engines here are open source, so the cost becomes the time to mount one and the resources it uses inside your existing application.
