Feature comparison
Why teams switch to Envoi
Handle replies, not just sends
Mailchimp's entire model is one-directional: you design, you send, you check open rates. When customers reply, those emails go nowhere useful. Envoi routes every reply through AI triage, drafts a response, and puts it in front of the right person for approval.
AI that understands your customers
Mailchimp added AI features to a 20-year-old architecture. Envoi was designed from the ground up for AI collaboration — the customer context panel, brand guidelines enforcement, and draft generation are all first-class, not bolt-ons.
Modern stack, modern speed
Envoi is built on Next.js with a serverless, event-driven backend. Pages load fast, the editor is instant, and automations run on a durable queue. Mailchimp carries the weight of legacy infrastructure built for a different era of email.
Pricing
Envoi starts free (500 contacts, 1,000 emails/month, AI inbox included). Mailchimp's free plan covers 500 contacts but limits sends, and SMS is a paid add-on. Envoi bundles AI features — inbox triage, response drafts, brand guidelines — into every plan, not just enterprise tiers.
