Each step is a payment. A long prepaid term is one tall step up front, then nothing until it renews for the same length again; a yearly term steps up every year at the renewal price.

Every plan over 5 years

Cumulative cost of use by the end of each year if you keep renewing the same term. First term at the intro price, later terms at the renewal price. A prepaid term is spread over the months it covers, so a long term is never charged twice inside the 5 years. Long terms are still billed up front.

Prices depend on your contact count

Mailchimp's prices rise with your contact count. The figures here are for up to 500 contacts, the default on its pricing page on 9 October 2026. Essentials and Standard both come with a 14-day free trial, and Standard sends up to 6,000 emails a month at this size. Accounts with fewer than 250 contacts can use the Free plan.

Premium was listed from $350 a month. The page also offered it at $297.50 a month for 12 months for lists of 10,000 or more contacts. Mailchimp charges overages if you go over your plan's contact or email-send limit.
