I’ve been evaluating a number of e-mail marketing services over the past few months, and though I haven’t actually decided which one I’ll be using yet, I have worked with many of them extensively. Right now MailChimp [get a $30 credit when using that link] is one of the front runners, along with newsberry, AWeber and Campaign Monitor. I’ve been working with the MailChimp API some, and am really impressed with it. In fact, it was so easy to use that I was able to build a working mailing list synchronizer using it in less than a day. Even if I don’t end up choosing MailChimp, I thought that this code might be helpful to others, so I’ve packaged it up and released it as the “Galahad MailChimp Synchronizer.”

Hi there -
I am researching several email marketing providers too and was wondering if you had a strong opinion about MailChimp vs. Lyris HQ. It seems to me Lyris is significantly more expensive with not enough superior features to justify it, but I could be wrong…
Hi Kate,
I haven’t had a chance to look at Lyris yet, but I think part of it is that Lyris is marketing to larger companies. The features might be similar but the structure might be more for big corps (multiple logins, etc). I do plan on checking Lyris out, so keep an eye on my blog—I’ll post a review when I get a chance.
