Alternatives to Mailchimp
Other Email marketing vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Mailchimp does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 20 that differ from Mailchimp on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Mailchimp has 6 gaps in what we could measure: Status page with history, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and Mailchimp does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
