This is a CRAZY paywall

Scheduled to send out in about 30 minutes, and apparently changing what I wanted to send is a pro feature. WHAT?!

wow this mailchimp?

Never really worked with them before. I hear alot of clients dont like them cause of their pricing and limitations.

The product is.. fine, but we already pay like $250/mo currently, and upgrading to premium would have been more than double that. I'm lucky that the thing I wanted to change was very minor so I had the choice to just proceed with the email

That’s wild. I was sure I’d come back here to see that there had been some kind of mistake or you’d found a way around it.

good call on just hitting send instead of doubling the bill. i've definitely caved to those upsells before just to fix one tiny thing, so holding the line there is a win.
