I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s right. I contacted Mandrill about it, and they pointed me to this support article[0].<p>&gt; <i>Is this cost included in my MailChimp plan?</i><p>&gt; <i>No. Mandrill is becoming a paid add-on for monthly MailChimp accounts. Any paid monthly MailChimp plan will satisfy the new requirements. Monthly MailChimp plans start at $10&#x2F;month, and you can find more information on MailChimp’s Pricing Page. Purchasing Mandrill blocks will incur monthly charges in addition to your MailChimp plan.</i><p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mandrill.zendesk.com&#x2F;hc&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;articles&#x2F;217467117" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mandrill.zendesk.com&#x2F;hc&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;articles&#x2F;217467117</a>
