The per-message pricing is still way more expensive, but that&#x27;s not nearly as bad as how they&#x27;ve dumped this on customers.<p>If a PaaS provider doesn&#x27;t realize that people build tons of code, businesses, infrastructures, pricing models, etc. off of them than they&#x27;ll never gain the trust of savvy purchasers.  The way they&#x27;ve effectively end-of-lifed Mandrill w&#x2F; 2 months notice and zero response to complaints is a slap-in-the-face to a customer-base that has largely loved their product.<p>Short of a response that recognizes they went about this badly it would be hard to ever depend on a Mailkimp product again.
