Mally vs Mailchimp
Mailchimp is the world's most-used email platform — but it wasn't built for agencies who want to own their stack. Mally is.
Quick summary
Is Mally better than Mailchimp for agencies? Yes — if you manage multiple clients or want a white-label platform. Mailchimp charges per-contact and per-email, which becomes very expensive at scale. Mally offers flat pricing, a self-hosted Tenant option with full white-label support, and unlimited client sub-accounts that Mailchimp simply doesn't provide. For solo marketers or small newsletters Mailchimp is fine; for agencies, Mally is the stronger choice.
Feature-by-feature comparison
Mailchimp is a popular email tool — but its per-contact, per-email pricing model punishes growth, and it has no white-label or self-hosted option for agencies.

Why agencies choose Mally over Mailchimp
Mally's flat pricing means you can grow your list and send more without watching your bill explode. Mailchimp charges per-contact and per-send — two cost axes that hit agencies hard as client lists scale.
Mally Tenant gives agencies a fully white-labeled platform under their own domain, brand, and pricing. Mailchimp has no white-label offering, so clients always know they're on Mailchimp.
With Mally Tenant you own the source code and run it on your servers. If Mailchimp raises prices, changes terms, or discontinues a feature, you have no recourse. With Mally, you own the infrastructure.
