RightDesk vs
Mailchimp

Campaigns that write back to the contact.

Mailchimp prices the list. Standard is about $135/mo at 10,000 contacts and about $700/mo at 100,000. Maildrive on Desk includes 100,000 sends, on the CRM record, for $79/mo — the whole desk, not a list tax.

The point of switching is a better relationship with each customer — AI that stays on a leash, outcomes you can see, people who don’t have to repeat themselves.

Why Desk

  • A 10k-list Mailchimp bill already exceeds Desk — and Desk is not only mail.
  • If you upgrade off Free because you hit 5,000 sends, Desk is a competitive mail product — $79 vs about $135 for Mailchimp Standard at 10,000 contacts — with the rest of the suite included.
  • Replies land on the record; they do not become a mystery ticket.

When they still win

Mailchimp’s template and consumer-brand ecosystem is broader. If the job is a newsletter brand, not a customer file, stay there until the list and the CRM argue.
