Where Mailchimp AI still feels like a subject-line helper

Mailchimp added generative features across the editor, but for agency work the AI still lives inside blocks you assemble by hand. We timed a product launch email: Mailchimp AI saved maybe twenty minutes on copy variants. Brew, tested the same week for a different client, went from brief to send-ready HTML in one session.

Fair, but Mailchimp wins on price and familiarity for small lists. We still recommend it when the client sends under ten thousand contacts and has no designer. The AI gap matters more above that volume.
