MailPoet – Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation

Hi,

This plugin is really amazing and life changer :), It is complete solution.

Thanks for such a great Plugin.

Life changer


I was honestly a bit disappointed when I first installed it a few months ago, in 2022. There were annoying bugs, and a lot of features missing related to bulk-edit of the subscribers, etc. It always felt half-cooked to me, even though I heard about it for quite a while.



However, the plugin improved, and it's getting more and more usable. Most importantly, it works; and it's much cheaper than Mailchimp (which I used before, and was ruining me every time).



I also think that they should focus on their plugin rather than on their emailing service. I would be happy to pay more for their plugin so that it is better developed. There are a lot of services out there to send emails, which are cheaper and excellent. Don't force us to use yours, or intimidate us against using other services. Because of this, the plugin actually deserve only 2 or 3 stars, but I really want you guys to improve it and get more users, so I'll keep it to 5. You're my choice.


Starting to love it


I could never get this plugin to work properly. I installed it due to the advanced integration with Woocommerce, but I could never trust it to wokr properly.



The signup emails are sent minutes after they are submitted. Why? The person wants the coupon in that very moment.



Also, the forms are very limited, you can't use a shortcode in case you want to put a form somewhere. The whole plugin is limited in functionality.


Difficult to use, not all emails sent

Works well if you know DNS


The best part of this plugin, compared to similar plugins, is the free 500 subscriptions that help you get used to it. It is user-friendly, straightforward, safe, and beautiful, and as its name suggests: "like a poet." Don't hesitate to give it a try. 


This plugin helped me to have email contacts with my customers


i've unsubscribed three times from Mailpoet. And I've sent numerous requests to their support.



They refuse to unsubscribe me and insist on charging me monthly for a service I don't use. 



Don't even think about subscribing to this service!



Criminals.
