For organizers managing event emails in a separate platform

Not everyone runs all four. Whichever of them you do run, the event details get copied between them by hand, because none of them was built for events.

The gaps

Where Mailchimp limits you for events

Mailchimp was not built for event management. These are the places the event part has to be done somewhere else.

Mailchimp

Separate tool that does not connect to your event data
Manual import/export of attendee lists
No event pages, ticketing, or RSVP functionality
Costs add up alongside other event tools

None of that is a fault in Mailchimp. It is a general-purpose tool being asked to run an event, which is why the rest of the job ends up in other tabs.

Done natively

What Getvnt gives you over Mailchimp

The same work, in the tool that already knows what an event is.

Built-in Newsletters

Write newsletters on your schedule and send them to everyone or to a segment, such as the ticket buyers of one event. A/B test the subject line or the content on a sample first.

Integrated Attendee Data

Ticket buyers are already in the system. A Ticket buyers segment reaches them for every event or just one, with no export and re-import between tools.

Zero Platform Fees

Sell tickets through Stripe or PayPal with zero platform fees; you pay only what the processor charges. Free registration is unlimited on every plan; selling paid tickets is on Pro.

Event Graphics

Generate shareable event graphics and flyers automatically. Promote events without needing separate design tools.

Public Schedule Page

A shareable page with all your events. Visitors sign up for updates, subscribe to your calendar feed, or buy tickets, all in one place.

Automatic New-Event Digest

Confirmed subscribers get a digest of the new public events your schedule creates, at most one every 72 hours, without you writing anything. It does not count against the newsletter allowance.

The swap sheet

Mailchimp vs Getvnt

Line by line, on the event work. A dash in the Mailchimp column means that job is not built in, so today it is living in another tab. A tick in the Getvnt column does not mean free: the three cards below say which plan carries what.

Free

0 NGN

Unlimited events and schedules. Public event pages and a shareable calendar. Two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync. Free RSVP with a capacity limit and no monthly ceiling, scanned at the door. Event graphics, embeddable calendar, built-in analytics, AI event parsing, and 10 newsletter emails a month, each recipient counting as one.

Pro

5 NGN a month

Tickets that carry a price, and the live check-in dashboard. Custom fields on the form, ticket waitlist, promo codes, sales export. The embeddable ticket widget, the REST API and webhooks. 100 newsletter emails a month.

Enterprise

15 NGN a month

Your own domain. Up to five team members. Internal and unlisted events. AI flyer and style generation, AI agenda scanning, WhatsApp event creation, and 1,000 newsletter emails a month.

Two footnotes worth reading before you switch. Your follower list is never capped, but the monthly newsletter allowance counts recipients rather than sends, so one letter to 40 followers spends 40 of it; the automatic digest of new events that confirmed subscribers get does not count against it. And Free is a single team member; extra members are Enterprise. What does not change with the plan is the fee on ticket sales, which is zero on all three. Charging for a ticket is Pro, and it brings every way to get paid with it: Stripe, PayPal, Payfast for rand, Invoice Ninja, a payment link or cash. Past the processor's own fee, the money is yours, and a Stripe or PayPal sale can be refunded from the Sales page in full or in part.

Mailchimp

About Mailchimp

Mailchimp is a popular email marketing platform that many event organizers use to promote events and communicate with attendees. However, using Mailchimp means managing a separate tool alongside your event platform, manually syncing attendee lists, and paying for email marketing on top of your event tools.

What it is good at

Email automation and drip campaigns
Advanced audience segmentation and analytics
Large template library for marketing emails

Getvnt

Why switch to Getvnt?

Mailchimp handles email, but Getvnt combines newsletters, ticketing, and attendee management so you never juggle separate tools.

What moves across

Newsletters with A/B testing built into your event platform
An automatic digest of new events for confirmed subscribers, outside the allowance
Zero platform fees on ticket sales, saving the cost of Mailchimp plus a ticketing tool
Open source with selfhosting option for full data ownership

Mailchimp to Getvnt FAQ

What people ask before they move the event work across.

Is Getvnt a good Mailchimp alternative for event emails?

Yes. Getvnt includes newsletters with A/B testing, segments, list import, and an automatic digest of new events for confirmed subscribers, all beside your ticket sales. You can send event announcements and updates directly from your schedule without a separate email tool.

How much does Getvnt cost compared to Mailchimp?

The newsletter tools and your subscriber list are free, with no cap on how many subscribers you keep. What the plan sets is the monthly newsletter allowance, counted in recipients: 10 on the free plan, 100 on Pro at 5 NGN/month and 1,000 on Enterprise, so one newsletter to 40 people uses 40 of it. The automatic digest of new events does not count against it. Free registration is unlimited on every plan, and selling paid tickets is on Pro with zero platform fees. Mailchimp charges based on contact count and can cost $20 or more per month for similar email features alone.

Does Getvnt support email automation like Mailchimp?

Some, aimed at events. Confirmed subscribers get a digest of the new public events your schedule creates automatically, at most one every 72 hours, and it does not draw on the newsletter allowance. People who ask to hear about one event get an email when its tickets go on sale, one if it is cancelled, and a reminder shortly before it starts. What it does not have is Mailchimp-style drip sequences or custom automation rules: a newsletter goes out when you send it.

Can I import my Mailchimp subscriber list?

Yes. Export your audience from Mailchimp, then paste the addresses in or upload the CSV, up to 10,000 rows at a time, on any plan. They land in a segment you can send newsletters to. From then on, people sign up on your schedule page, and buyers who tick the box at checkout join your subscribers.

Can I send newsletters to people who bought tickets?

Yes. Choose the Ticket buyers segment and a newsletter reaches everyone who bought tickets to your events, or to one event you pick, without importing anything. Buyers who ticked the box at checkout to hear from you are on your subscriber list too, and get the automatic digest.

Is signing up double opt-in, like Mailchimp?

On the sign-up panel, yes. Visitors give a name and an email address and confirm from the email that follows; confirming also sets up an account that follows your schedule. The tick box at checkout is single opt-in, because the order receipt has already proved the address.
