What are the best Mailchimp alternatives for those who do not want to support Intuit in the future?

Not sure about the best, but this seems to be the field depending on what your needs are...

  Active Campaign
  Boomtrain
  Campaign Monitor 
  Cordial
  Amazon SES 
  Eloqua
  Emma
  Experian Cheetahmail
  Exact Target
  Hubspot
  Maropost
  OneSignal
  PostUp
  Responsys
  Sailthru 
  SeconStreet
  Sendgrid
  SparkPost

Sendy

SendGrid is owned by Twilio btw

Exact Target has been Salesforce Marketing Cloud since 2014.

PostMarkApp?

FYI: Second Street, PostUp, and Adestra are all owned by one company (Upland Software [UPLD]).

Good list, although some still feel like the 2000's. I would add Mailerlite and Mailersend and if you have a few bucks to spare Mailercheck. With this suite your email communication will be tip top They have a simple UI that feels like fresh air among mostly busy screens.

Something like Braze (or many competitors) will do all sorts of messaging.

It really depends on your business... variables like do you just want to do email, or do you want to message in app or on website too? Selling physical goods? There are a million ways to do app or marketing automation comms.

Lots of recommendations in this thread but not many descriptions about what the commenters like about their choice. Is it price? Usability? Deliverability?

Klaviyo is ok, way cheaper than braze

Another option, for Mac users: Direct Mail (https://directmailmac.com). Disclosure: I work there.

Mailerlite is good and way cheaper (p.s i do work for the parent company)

Mailgun

And since they already screwed all their free users and early adopters you don't have to worry about it happening again (for a while).

I tried them a few years ago, everything was great except the email servers in the free tier had terrible reputation and most of what I sent was rejected by the receiving side.

I guess that's to be expected, free tiers of any email services are going to be horribly abused. Hopefully the paid service is better.
