Mailchimp is the default recommendation for small lists because the editor, templates, and automation builder are approachable without training. It handles campaigns, basic automation flows, and a landing-page builder. The free tier covers a small contact list with limited sends.
Where it falls short
Pricing jumps sharply as the list grows, and deliverability reputation has become less reliable than dedicated transactional providers.
