Geniziz vs Mailchimp: the Mailchimp alternative that doesn't charge per seat
Is Geniziz a good Mailchimp alternative? Yes. Both price on the size of your list rather than the size of your team — but Mailchimp meters the things Geniziz lets you own. On Geniziz every feature is on every plan, users and workspaces are unlimited, and AI, email and calling run on your own API keys at provider cost instead of resold credits.
Mailchimp
What Mailchimp costs, and what the same team costs here
Mailchimp bills like this: Contact-count tiers × plan edition (Essentials/Standard/Premium); seat counts capped per edition.
The tiering is the part that bites: Automation is capped at 4 steps on Essentials (up to 200 on Standard/Premium); custom reports, dynamic content and branded templates need Standard+; generative AI content tools are Standard/Premium only; only Premium has unlimited seats (5 on Standard, 3 on Essentials) and 5 role-based permission levels.
Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.
Mailchimp does not publish list pricing, so there is no honest number to put beside ours. Geniziz publishes every price: €49, €149 or €299 a month by contact count, unlimited users on all three.

When you should stay on Mailchimp
You're a small team with a modest, slow-growing list that fits inside Essentials or Standard's contact and seat limits.
We would rather you stayed on a tool that fits than switched and regretted it. The case for moving is below.

Migrating from Mailchimp to Geniziz
Exports as CSV (contacts, campaign reports); object model is Audiences/Contacts/Campaigns/Automations, not Contacts/Companies/Deals — no native deal pipeline.
You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.
How to migrate from Mailchimp to Geniziz
- 1. Export your data from Mailchimp (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
- 2. Drop the files into the Geniziz migration wizard — together or separately, in any order.
- 3. We auto-detect each file, map the columns, and link everything by IDs, company names and email domains.
- 4. Review the pre-flight summary and import. Your pipeline is live the same afternoon.
