 * SendGrid is a similar alternative that’s free up to 12,000 emails per month:

 * If you’re serious about email lists and subscriptions, though, wouldn’t you be
   happy to pay premium for it? Just curious.

 * If i will pay for a Mail-Chimp pro account, would the wp-mandrill plugin work
   as usual? (after doing the adjustments on Mail-Chimp settings, and integrating
   the accounts)
 * Or, will wp-mandrill plugin would need to be changed as well?
 * I’m hoping this plugin will still work a month from now (assuming I’ll pay premium
   for a Mail-Chimp account).

   list above have their own WordPress plugins listed in the directory. Just swap
   them out.

 * When one has a very small site with light traffic within a niche market, a $10/
   month bill is too expensive to handle <50 emails per month. Therefore it’s goodbye
   to another corporate-minded move with a PR spin saying this will improve service
   to its customers.
 * I wrote to Mandrill/MailChimp in January about ended their free account plan (
   even offered to negotiate a reduced rate) and was assured via email/Mandrill 
   Support:
    —– “. . . Looking at your current sending account, it looks like you
   initially signed up for your account before we made changes to our free plan 
   and therefore you’ll continue to receive the 12,000 free messages per month. 
   So while we made some changes, any users that had signed up before the changes
   were grandfathered in and won’t see any changes in their current sending plan...“——
 * And now the axe has fallen and they won’t honor this at all. You MUST PAY to 
   use this plugin.

 * Looks like SendGrid has capitalized on Mandrill’s change. They are offering a
   discount if you switch from Mandrill to them. Well played SendGrid…well played.
