Anyone wish to share any thoughts as to any user experiences between the two services ? I'm specifically interested in the predesigned templates.

Thank You

A compact, practical addendum focused on templates and workflow. This builds on the experiences shared by and and aims to help pick the right platform based on real needs rather than brand alone.

When comparing template systems, check these items before committing:

  • Editor type: true drag‑and‑drop blocks vs single large content area vs raw HTML editing.
  • Responsiveness tools: mobile previews and client rendering checks.
  • Customization limits: ability to save a brand/master template and reuse it across campaigns.
  • Personalization and dynamic content: merge tags, conditional blocks, and e-commerce blocks.
  • Testing and analytics: A/B testing support and per-template performance reporting.
  • Team/workflow features: user roles, template locking, and asset libraries.
  • Export/import: can you upload/download HTML or move templates between services?
  • Costs and tier limits: some features are paid-only; verify on free plans.

A short testing workflow to apply immediately:

  1. Pick one candidate template and make a single branded master.
  2. Send seed tests to multiple clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, mobile).
  3. Run a small A/B split (layout or CTA) and measure opens/clicks, not just aesthetics.
  4. Iterate: simplify heavy HTML, ensure accessible images/alt text, and confirm authentication (SPF/DKIM) for deliverability.

If template “freshness” matters, consider creating a lightweight custom template or buying third‑party designs and uploading them so branding stays consistent across platforms.

I've used both to some degree although I have more experience with MailChimp.
They're both pretty good and I can't fault either too much but MailChimp was a better product in my opinion.
It's reasonably easy to learn, has some good importing/exporting features, a strong API and good support.
I didn't use the predesigned templates on either one too much but from what I did see they both had a reasonable range that looked well designed.
And I'm not affiliated with them in anyway.

Thanks for your feedback. I only wish the templates at MailChimp were a bit newer but all in I would put it at 55% MC and 45% CC.
