Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Mailchimp
Email marketing with the longest integration list
Mailchimp is the default nobody gets fired for picking, and the reason is that whatever else you run already connects to it. The editor and the reporting are fine rather than good. Its pricing counts contacts rather than sends, so a large list you mail once a month costs the same as one you mail daily, which is the wrong shape for most creators.
Our note
Pick Mailchimp when integrations decide it, and only then. For a newsletter as the main product, beehiiv and Kit both cost less and were designed for the job rather than adapted to it.

- Covers newsletter & email
Stripo
Build an email template once, export it anywhere
Stripo designs the email and then hands it to whatever actually sends it, exporting to a long list of platforms rather than trying to be one. That suits anybody happy with their sending tool and unhappy with its editor. Modules can be saved and reused across a team so a brand's blocks stay consistent. It does not send, track or hold a list, so it is an addition to an email stack rather than a replacement for one.
