Free vs. Paid: The Truth About Choosing the Right Mailchimp Integration

December 16, 2024

Choosing between free and paid apps isn’t just about cost—it’s about the value they deliver. The Mailchimp for Salesforce integration by Beaufort 12 stands out as the official Mailchimp solution, replacing the outdated free version, which is no longer supported and will soon be retired. Our app isn’t just an improvement—it’s designed to work seamlessly and stand the test of time.

Let’s break it down and show you why investing in our app is worth it, and why free doesn’t always mean free.

1. It Works, Period

Free integrations often come with limits—clunky interfaces, unreliable syncing, or a lack of updates. Our app is different: it’s a fully native Salesforce application that works seamlessly inside your Salesforce environment. It’s fast, secure, and does what it promises—without the headaches.

“This is a game changer compared to the free app. You will spend a lot less time figuring out how to sync data with this app” Cheryl Fernandes, Founder at Blu Ninjas.


2. Built for the Future

This isn’t a “set it and forget it” solution. We’re constantly investing in updates to ensure compatibility with Salesforce and Mailchimp as they evolve, while also prioritizing security at every step. Beaufort 12’s Mailchimp for Salesforce integration is designed with built-in security features to protect your data. We ensure that sensitive information, including API tokens, is stored securely within Salesforce, minimizing the risk of external vulnerabilities. Our app undergoes regular security re-reviews by Salesforce’s security team, ensuring it remains safe, robust, and compliant with the latest standards. With free solutions, security updates and support are often rare or non-existent, leaving your data more exposed to risks.


3. Support You Can Count On

Have questions or run into a problem? We’ve got a dedicated support team across the UK, UAE, and USA. Plus, our extensive knowledge base and interactive guides mean help is always within reach. Free apps? You’re often left figuring things out on your own.


4. Fair Pricing for Maximum Value

Starting at just $25 per month for up to 10,000 active Mailchimp subscribers, we’ve designed a pricing model that’s fair and usage-based. It’s not a per-user cost—your entire team can use it for one flat fee. And for nonprofits, we offer a 10% discount to make sure this essential tool is accessible.


5. A Risk-Free Trial

Still on the fence? Try the app for 14 days, completely free. Cancel anytime if it’s not for you—no strings attached.


Why Pay?

Because you’re not just buying an app—you’re investing in reliability, expert support, and a tool designed to grow with your business. For less than a dollar a day, you get a seamless integration that saves time, reduces hassle, and helps you get the most out of Salesforce and Mailchimp.
