MailChimp vs. Constant Contact: Which Email Solution is Better?

MailChimp vs. Constant Contact When I started my business in 2009, I signed up with Constant Contact to be my email solution provider.

(Their prices start at $15 for 0-500 contacts, $30 for 501-2500 contacts. You can save 10% if you prepay for 6 months, 15% for 1 year.)
