Other
There are many other differences that make Tripolis a better Mailchimp alternative. Among them we wanted to highlight the fact that Tripolis strictly complies with the GDPR regulations, having its servers in Europe, which Mailchimp does not do.
On the issue of costs, the big difference is that Tripolis bases its billing on the number of actual sent emails and Mailchimp on the number of contacts in your databases, regardless of whether it is duplicated or has not been sent an email for a long time.

Mailchimp downsides
Expensive once you grow
We can say that Mailchimp is a popular tool among companies that are taking their first steps in email marketing. However, as you develop your email marketing you will probably quickly run up against the restrictions of the free version of this tool. And, the paid versions become expensive as your list grows. Mailchimp’s billing is based on the number of contacts you have in your database. It doesn’t matter if they are active or not. If a contact is in 2 lists, it will count as two contacts.
Limited email send outs
Mailchimp limits the number of emails you can send per month to each contact. With the basic plan you can send 10 emails per subscriber and with the premium up to 15. Depending on the type of company, this limitation will affect your marketing and sales strategy as it is not enough.
Isolated contact lists
Mailchimp treats each of the databases completely independently, and this is fine, until there are people who subscribe to multiple lists. This makes you lose flexibility when preparing complex campaigns, since there is no way to merge lists or create interdependencies between them.
Too basic automation
The automations that Mailchimp offers are fairly basic and do not offer the ability to send to a segmented list based on behavior. The tool is not very intuitive and lacks a visual editor for the flows.
Language
Although the guides and tutorials offered by Mailchimp are in multiple languages, the platform itself is only available in English.
Tripolis advantages
Unlimited databases
Tripolis has a Database Manager functionality that allows you to work with unlimited databases for multiple brands, branches or teams within the same license. The Data Security Access allows you to give access according to the campaign or contact list.
Extensive Flow Builder
With the Tripolis Flow Builder funcionality you can create sophisticated email and SMS flows conditioned by filters and / or the behavior of the contacts. With its drag & drop and its 360º viewer, it is easy to handle and to have a complete image of your automations.
Lead Scoring
With Tripolis it is easy to carry a lead scoring, both for B2B companies with the IP Tracking functionality, as well as with triggers and marketing automation for any type of contacts.

The Tripolis Event Manager will help you manage different lists of contacts, subscribers and unsubscribed, attendees and non-attendees, etc. You can also create a waiting list automatically, use landing pages with pre-filled forms, follow up according to the behavior of the contact, and use QR codes to confirm attendance at the event.
