Mailchimp cuts Free plan monthly sends from 1,000 to 500
The pricing page showed 1,000 monthly sends on November 1, 2025, and 500 by December 1, 2025. Its Free contact allowance also fell from 500 to 250; a separate record traces that change. The exact change and rollout dates are not established by these captures. The later page says sending pauses when contact or send limits are exceeded; existing accounts may have different terms.

Review your account and options
Check your plan’s current terms before changing it: existing accounts may differ. The captured page says sending pauses if a contact or send limit is exceeded; consider a paid plan if your usage exceeds the Free allowance.
