Choose Mailchimp if
- Small lists — the free tier covers 250 contacts indefinitely
- Teams that want templates and automation without an implementation project
Choose Moosend if
- Small businesses and creators looking for budget-friendly email automation without subscriber limits
- E-commerce stores needing simple cart abandonment sequences and landing pages
Where each one disappoints
Mailchimp

Moosend
