Verified September 2026 from the official India pricing page (mailchimp.com/pricing/marketing/), which displayed a Free plan (limit 250 contacts) plus paid Essentials, Standard, and Premium tiers. Essentials starts around $8.76/mo, with Standard and Premium priced higher. All paid tiers are shown as introductory "50% off for 12 months" rates, after which standard rates apply. These are the lowest entry tiers; actual cost rises with contact count, so confirm the exact figure for your list size at checkout. There is a real uncertainty here. The page shows rupee figures that Mailchimp itself labels exchange-rate estimates; billing is in USD and Mailchimp has no Indian entity; per its help docs non-USD payments are converted via Chase Paymentech, and India reviews report no GST input-tax-credit and no UPI. Do not treat the rupee display as confirmed local GST-compliant INR billing. Verify currency, taxes, and payment methods in your own account.

Better fit when
Small businesses and solopreneurs new to email marketing
Watch out for
Marketers sitting on large churned lists, because unsubscribed contacts keep counting toward the paid tier until someone archives them manually
