A MailerLite alternative for email-focused teams
MailerLite and Hemero are both aimed at small teams and creators. They make different trade-offs: MailerLite bundles websites and more around email, Hemero concentrates on email and its safeguards. Here is the honest comparison.
Hemero vs MailerLite: the main differences
Both tools give a small team a visual editor, signup forms and automations, so the gap is not a feature race. It is about what surrounds the email and how you are charged.
How you pay
#pricingMailerLite's pricing page says cost scales with your subscriber count and monthly email volume. Hemero's monthly plans are based on emails sent, from $19 for 25,000 emails, and your list size does not set the price. Without a plan you buy packages at $1.50 per 1,000 emails that never expire.
What surrounds the email
#scopeMailerLite also offers a website builder, landing pages, digital products and paid newsletter subscriptions. Hemero has none of those: its tools are campaigns, forms, automations, segments, reports, an API and an assistant.
Plans
#plansEvery Hemero plan includes every feature, and plans differ only in emails and assistant messages.
Language
#españolHemero runs entirely in English and Spanish, including the pages your subscribers see: signup form, confirmation and unsubscribe page. See email marketing in Spanish for what is and is not covered.
Deliverability safeguards
#sendingHemero warms up a new domain gradually, pauses a campaign that starts bouncing or drawing complaints, sets inactive contacts aside and checks content before every send. They reduce risk but cannot promise inbox placement. See deliverability.
When MailerLite is the better choice
Choose MailerLite if you want one account for your email, your website and your landing pages: Hemero has no website or landing page builder. Choose it too if you plan to sell digital products or charge for a newsletter, which Hemero does not support.
If you depend on one of its integrations that Hemero does not have, check that first: Hemero connects to WordPress, Shopify, Stripe, Zapier, Make and a REST API. And if your current campaigns and automations are working, remember that Hemero imports contacts only.
When Hemero fits better
Hemero fits if you already have a website and only need the email part done carefully: forms that confirm subscribers, automations for the welcome sequence, segments and reports in one place. It also fits if you send unevenly, because packages never expire, or if you want list size to stop deciding the price.
Teams that work in Spanish get the app, the assistant and the subscriber pages in Spanish. If you are building a newsletter, the same tools cover signup, sending and clean-up.
Switching from MailerLite to Hemero
Contacts move over in minutes. Emails and automations take longer, because you rebuild them.
Export your subscribers
Export them from MailerLite as a CSV. If you can include unsubscribed or junk subscribers, do, so Hemero keeps them on your suppression list.
Import into Hemero
Go to Contacts and import the file. Hemero recognises MailerLite exports, maps the columns and status for you and lets you change any mapping. Confirm these people agreed to hear from you.
Check the summary
It shows who will be subscribed, who goes to suppressions and which rows were skipped (invalid, disposable or unconfirmed). You can undo an import for 7 days.
Verify your domain
Add the DNS records Hemero gives you. Those of your old tool are separate.
Recreate your form and emails
Build a signup form with double opt-in, rebuild templates in the editor and recreate your automations. If your MailerLite forms live on a website you keep, swap in Hemero's embed or popup.
