EmailDrop

Mailchimp announced they're slashing their free plan from 500 contacts to 250, and from 1000 sends to 500. Effective February 17, 2026. If you have more than 250 contacts, your account gets frozen unless you pay for TWO years of backpay. This isn't a growth platform decision — it's a hostage situation. You just want to send a weekly newsletter to 800 subscribers. You don't need AI analytics, retargeting pixels, or a CRM. You need to write and hit send.

Simple newsletters for people who don't need a 'growth platform.' 1000 contacts free. Always. Write in markdown, hit send. No drag-and-drop template nightmare. No AI features you didn't ask for. $5/month for 5000 contacts — price that stays put. We're not building a platform. We're building a way to send email.
