I really like the drag and drop email builder in MailerLite. Even though I'm a developer capable of writing HTML and CSS, it's just so much faster and easier to create a professional-looking email without needing to code. The builder is intuitive and efficient, letting me create clean emails in just five minutes that look good on both desktop and mobile. I also love the subscriber grouping and tagging feature. It allows me to efficiently target the right audience, whether it's clients, the open-source community, or our internal team, without spamming irrelevant updates. The automation workflows are fantastic, taking care of welcome sequences and routine emails without further input from me. I set things up once and can trust that everything runs smoothly in the background, saving me hours each month. I appreciate the analytics dashboard as well. It's simple and clear, showing me who opened emails and who didn't, so I can follow up if needed. Switching from Mailify to MailerLite was a significant improvement, with its intuitive interface, helpful templates, and seamless integration with tools like Dropbox, Pexip, and Shopware.

First thing is the email editor can be slow and glitchy sometimes. The drag and drop builder is usually great, but when I am working on a longer email or one with multiple sections, it starts to lag. I drag an element and it takes a second to snap into place. Sometimes it freezes for a few seconds. Once or twice, I lost unsaved changes because the editor crashed. That is frustrating when I have spent fifteen minutes crafting a detailed release note email. I have learned to save constantly, but I should not have to. Second thing is the limited design flexibility for advanced users. I am a developer, so sometimes I want to inject custom HTML or CSS to do something the drag and drop builder does not support. MailerLite allows custom HTML, but it is clunky. The custom HTML blocks do not always play nicely with the rest of the email. They break responsiveness on mobile, or they look fine in the editor but render weirdly in Gmail. I end up stripping out my fancy ideas and sticking to the basic blocks. That is fine for most emails, but for occasional advanced needs, I wish it were more robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
