MailerLite Alternative UK: A Fully Supported Email Marketing Platform

Smart Messenger vs MailerLite

Both Smart Messenger and MailerLite can help you create professional email campaigns, manage your contacts and communicate with your customers.

The biggest difference is the level of support and service you receive.

MailerLite is primarily a self-service email marketing platform. Smart Messenger combines the technology with personal support from an experienced UK email marketing team.

Why are businesses looking for a MailerLite alternative?

There isn't necessarily anything wrong with MailerLite. In fact, its simplicity is one of the reasons it has become popular.

But a platform that works well when you're starting out isn't always the best solution as your organisation develops.

There are several reasons you might start looking for a MailerLite alternative.

1. You want more personal support

One of the biggest frustrations with software platforms can be having to find the answer yourself.

You may be able to find a help article or online documentation, but sometimes you just want to ask someone:

"How should I set this campaign up?"

With Smart Messenger, you have access to people who understand email marketing, not just software support.

We can help with your campaigns, your strategy and your use of the platform.

2. Your email marketing is becoming more important

When you're sending the occasional newsletter, almost any straightforward email platform can do the job.

But when email becomes an important part of your marketing, you may need more than a collection of tools.

You need to know that your campaigns are being delivered correctly, your data is being managed properly and your emails are achieving the results you want.

That's where having an experienced email marketing team behind the software can make a real difference.

3. You're reviewing the cost as your list grows

Email marketing pricing can become more complicated as your database increases.

A platform that looks inexpensive when you have a relatively small list can become considerably more expensive as your number of subscribers and sending requirements increase.

If you're reviewing your email marketing costs, it's worth comparing the overall value you're receiving rather than simply comparing headline subscription prices.

With Smart Messenger, you're not just paying for access to software. You're getting the platform, storage for unlimited contacts at no extra cost, plus support from an experienced email marketing team. 

4. You want a UK-based provider

For some businesses, working with a UK email marketing company is important, particularly when you're dealing with questions about data, compliance, campaign strategy or technical issues.

With Smart Messenger, you have a UK-based team that understands the requirements of UK businesses and compliance.

Is Smart Messenger cheaper than MailerLite?

Yes, it can be, but it depends on your database size, sending requirements and the features and level of support you need. However, we don't think the cheapest email marketing platform is automatically the best one. Instead, you should consider the total value of the service.

For example:

• How much does the platform cost?
• How does the price change as your database grows?
• How much time does your team spend managing it?
• How easy is it to get help?
• Do you need to pay separately for additional services?
• How much value are your email campaigns generating?

If you're comparing MailerLite with Smart Messenger, we'll be happy to discuss your requirements and give you a straightforward comparison.

There is no obligation to switch.

Email Marketing Plans

Who is Smart Messenger for?

Smart Messenger can be a good alternative to MailerLite if you're a:

Small business

You want professional email marketing but don't want to spend your time learning every aspect of an email marketing platform.

Growing business

Your database and email marketing activity are increasing and you want a platform and support service that can grow with you.

Charity or membership organisation

You need to communicate regularly with members, supporters or subscribers and want help managing your email communications.

Marketing team

You already understand email marketing but want an experienced provider available when you need additional support.

Organisation switching platforms

Why choose Smart Messenger instead of MailerLite?

Choosing an email marketing platform isn't just about ticking off a list of features. It's about finding a service that works for your organisation.

If you're comfortable managing everything yourself and rarely need assistance, a self-service platform such as MailerLite may be perfectly suitable.

But if you want the reassurance of having an experienced team behind your email marketing, Smart Messenger offers something different:

Software + people

That's the key difference.

You get the technology you need to manage your email marketing, together with people who can help you use it effectively.
