Free tier

mailerlite.com
Sends a newsletter to a small list on a free tier that does not expire.
Drag-and-drop or plain HTML campaigns, signup forms, landing pages and basic automations, with a free tier that is a permanent plan rather than a trial. The editor is simpler than the market leaders' and the deliverability is good, which is the right trade for a personal or small-business list. Subscriber import and export are unrestricted, so leaving later is not a hostage situation.
Questions
A genuinely usable free tier with paid plans for volume or team features. Free stops at 250 subscribers, 2,500 emails a month and three automations, and new accounts are manually reviewed before the first send.
Yes. MailerLite sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
