Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Mailchimp yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Mailchimp across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Very small list (<500 contacts) & want forever‑free | Mailchimp (free) or SendinBlue (free daily limit) | Generous free tier, easy to upgrade later.” MiniMax M2.5 · Email marketing · budget prompt · first choice
“Three tools that stand out for their affordability and effectiveness are Mailchimp, Hubspot, and Marketo.” Muse Glimmer 30B · AI marketing agents · budget prompt · first choice
“Best Overall & Beginner-Friendly ### 1. Mailchimp - Best for: Beginners and small businesses” Kimi K2 · Email marketing · comparative prompt · first choice
“Start with HubSpot's free plan or Mailchimp for comprehensive marketing” Kimi K2 · Mobile apps · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Mailchimp: While famous, long-time users often complain that it becomes incredibly expensive once you scale past a certain contact limit. Their support is also often criticized” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Ecommerce marketing · negative prompt · hard negative
“One comparison explicitly says to avoid it if many contacts unsubscribe or bounce, because you may still be billed for them.” Perplexity Sonar · Email marketing · negative prompt · hard negative
“"Mass Email" tools (like SendGrid or MailChimp add-ons) that claim to handle channels ... Do not use these for TCM.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Channel marketing · negative prompt · hard negative
“Criticized for charging for inactive or unsubscribed contacts, which can become expensive as your list grows.” Mistral Small · Email marketing · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Mailchimp. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 339 of the 388 answers that named Mailchimp and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page mailchimp.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Mailchimp's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Mailchimp, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Mailchimp by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Mailchimp is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Mailchimp, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at mailchimp.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
