This confirms my worst fears. We just added a large wave of new email addresses to one of our routine emails, taking it from 2k per day to 17k per day.<p>We currently expect to pay approximately $75 to $100 USD per month with this volume of email.<p>With the new &quot;MailChimp pricing&quot;, this will cost us $150 for a MailChimp account with enough subscribers, then between $270 and $400 USD per month in data packs.<p>So from about $75 to $100 USD we get forced up to $420-$550<p>About a 5x price rise.<p>Nice going MailChimp...<p>Clearly this is an attempt to squeeze more profit out of Mandrill. Was there a management change at MailChimp or something?
