Zinn® Campaigns vs MailerLite

MailerLite is the friendly, affordable choice many small senders land on. Here is what changes if your newsletter lives next to your website instead.

What you get with Zinn® Campaigns that others charge extra for, or do not offer

Each of these is switched on in the product today. Nothing here is a roadmap item.

One draft, every subscriber's own language

Set a language on a contact and they receive the campaign translated from the same draft. No copies per audience, no translation bill.

AI writing on every plan

From a one-line brief, the AI writer drafts two subject lines, a preheader and the body. It is not held back for a higher tier.

Sent at each contact's best hour

Smart send time delivers to each contact when they usually open, and an A/B subject test sends the winner to the rest.

Your brand, read from your website

The brand kit takes your logo, colours and font from your own site, so the first campaign already looks like you.

A check before every send

The pre-send check reads the campaign before it goes and lists what to fix, what to review and what is only for information.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC written for you

When we host your DNS, we write the sending records for your domain after you confirm. No copying records between tabs.

Already included with your hosting

Every Mainstream hosting plan includes 500 contacts and 2,000 emails a month, with no second bill.

24/7 enterprise-grade support, at no extra charge

Every customer on every plan reaches our expert team around the clock. Enterprise-grade support is part of the product, never a paid upgrade or a higher tier.

The quick verdict

MailerLite has a generous free plan and adds websites, landing pages and multivariate testing. Zinn® Campaigns is included with Mainstream hosting, sends each contact the campaign in their own language and picks their best send time. MailerLite is the more complete website-and-newsletter builder today.

What you gain with Zinn® Campaigns

One draft, every language

MailerLite sends the email you wrote. Zinn® Campaigns can send each contact a translated copy in the language on their record, from one draft.

The right hour for each reader

Smart send time holds each email until the hour that contact usually opens, instead of sending the whole list at once.

No extra login

Your newsletter sits in the same Zinn Digital® dashboard as your hosting, domains and mailboxes, with one bill.

Where MailerLite does more

MailerLite includes a website builder and landing pages, multivariate testing, unlimited automations on Power, and a free plan that needs no hosting account. Its SMS plan is on sale, while ours is a pilot. For a creator who wants a site and a newsletter in one cheap tool, MailerLite is excellent.

Who should pick Zinn® Campaigns

Website owners already hosting with Zinn Digital®, businesses writing to customers in several languages, and anyone who wants AI drafting and a pre-send check without changing tools as the list grows.
