What is the MailerLite free plan subscriber limit?

MailerLite's free plan limits you to 1,000 subscribers. Once you exceed that, you must upgrade to a paid plan starting at $9/month. This is a hard cap — any contacts above 1,000 are paused or billed. Visisto has no subscriber cap on any plan. You can capture and store unlimited contacts on the free plan and send up to 15,000 emails per month without any contact restriction.

Does MailerLite have gamified popup widgets?

MailerLite includes basic popup and landing page builders, but does not offer gamified widgets like spin wheel or scratch card popups. Visisto's free plan includes 24+ widget types including spin wheel, scratch card, slide-in popup, sticky offer bar, and standard popup forms — all of which capture significantly more email addresses than standard forms (4–9% vs 1–2% conversion rates).

How do Visisto's email sequences compare to MailerLite automations?

MailerLite's free plan includes basic automations with limited steps. Visisto includes one AI-powered email sequence on the free plan — this triggers automatically when a contact is captured via a widget, sending a welcome email, discount delivery, or custom drip series. The AI sequence builder generates email copy based on your brand and offer. On paid plans, Visisto scales to 5, 25, or unlimited sequences. Visisto sequences require no Zapier and work natively within the same platform.

Can I import my MailerLite subscribers into Visisto?

Yes. Export your MailerLite subscriber list as CSV and import it directly into Visisto. You can segment contacts by tags or groups after import. Visisto also has a native Mailchimp integration if you plan to use Mailchimp for email sending — contacts captured via Visisto widgets can sync into multiple connected platforms simultaneously.

When does Visisto start charging if I grow past the free plan limits?

Visisto's free plan includes 15,000 email sends/month, 750/day, 2 widgets, 1 sequence, 1 broadcast, 1 A/B test, 100 contacts/month capture, and 10,000 widget sessions. If you need more capacity, the Starter plan begins at a low monthly cost and dramatically increases all limits. Unlike MailerLite, Visisto does not charge per subscriber — paid plans are based on feature access and send volume, not contact count.

What is the best MailerLite alternative with no subscriber cap?

Visisto is the leading MailerLite alternative without a subscriber cap. MailerLite's free plan restricts contacts to 1,000 subscribers and pauses sends or requires an upgrade once exceeded. Visisto's free plan has no subscriber or contact cap — you can grow your list indefinitely and send up to 15,000 emails per month. Visisto also includes gamified widgets (spin wheel, scratch card popups), AI email sequences, and A/B testing, which MailerLite does not offer on its free plan. Paid plans at Visisto are priced on send volume and features, not per-subscriber count, which benefits high-list-growth businesses.

Does MailerLite have a free plan in 2026?

Yes. MailerLite's free plan in 2026 includes up to 12,000 email sends per month and basic automations, but limits subscribers to 1,000. Once you exceed 1,000 subscribers, you must upgrade to a paid plan starting at approximately $9/month. The free plan does not include gamified popup widgets, AI writing tools, or Klaviyo/HubSpot integrations. MailerLite does include a basic drag-and-drop email builder and landing page builder on the free tier.

Is Visisto better than MailerLite for growing an email list quickly?

For businesses focused on rapid list growth, Visisto has a structural advantage: gamified widgets (spin wheel, scratch card) convert 4–9% of site visitors into subscribers compared to 1–2% for standard email forms. MailerLite offers basic popups but no gamified or interactive capture widgets. Visisto also removes the subscriber cap that forces MailerLite users to pay as their list grows — Visisto's pricing is send-volume and feature based, not contact-count based. The combination of higher capture rates and no subscriber cap makes Visisto the faster path to a larger list.
