The Mailchimp alternative for teams that outgrew newsletters
Outgrowing Mailchimp? WeZend adds a real CDP, visual journeys and six channels — billed on volume sent, not audience size. Import your audience with consent intact in an afternoon.
Mailchimp is where half the internet learned email marketing, and for a simple newsletter it's still fine. The trouble starts when you grow: audience-based pricing that climbs with every signup, automation that tops out at simple sequences, and duplicated contacts counted twice. If your roadmap says "behavioural segmentation", "SMS" or "customer data platform", you're shopping in the wrong aisle.
WeZend is built for that next stage: a real-time CDP that unifies profiles across email and phone, event-driven segments that update in seconds, visual journeys with experiments and holdouts, and six channels on one API. Billing follows what you send, not how many people know you — so a growing audience is a good thing again.
Why teams make the switch
Priced for growth, not against it
20,000 contacts free on every paid tier, no duplicate counting, and your bill follows send volume you control.
Automation that branches and proves itself
Visual journeys with conditional splits, multi-channel steps, A/B arms and holdout groups — so you can see the lift an automation actually produced.
A CDP underneath, not a contact list
Behavioural events, unified profiles, computed traits (LTV, days-since-purchase) and segments that react to what customers do — not just what they signed up for.
Six channels when you're ready
Start with email, add SMS or WhatsApp as a parameter — same API, same templates, same journey builder, flat regional rates.
Do the homework, then the maths
Try the difference on your own data — free.

Frequently asked questions
Is it harder to use than Mailchimp?
The basics are the same: import contacts, pick a template, send. The depth (CDP, journeys, experiments) is there when you need it, with guided flows and product tours — and you can run the whole platform in plain language via Connect AI.
What happens to my signup forms?
Rebuild them as WeZend lead forms (hosted or embedded) with double opt-in built in, and switch the endpoints your site posts to. The migration guide covers the cut-over order so no signup is lost.
One platform. Every customer interaction.
Replace your patchwork of messaging APIs, CDP and automation tools with a single engagement platform built for scale.
