Hey Alessio, we understand your disappointment. Thanks for sharing.
Have you ever considered purchasing MailPoet?
Or was MailPoet never actually worth anything?
I have a very small niche website that I can’t monetize. My total subscribers are less than 1000 and the newsletter that I send out are less than 5 a year, for about a hundred of subscribers. It doesn’t make sense to me to purchase something with a monthly fee.
Indeed Mailpoet 2 was very good for its unique feature such as the auto email (for the rest we can discuss as we both now had some limitations), but this unique feature was paying off the other (small) limitations.
Now it became very similar to Mailchimp, losing that unique (and useful) feature.
Probably for a PRO makes sense to purchase Mailpoet 3, but for small reality like me it doesn’t worth. I’ll stick with Mailpoet 2 until it works, then I will see what to do. I hope you guys will reconsider the auto email for the free version, maybe for a limited number of subscribers (like your plan as sender for 2000 subscribers).
Thanks Alessio for your feedback. Arguments to think over.
@wysija, I agree with @overkill22 in all aspects. I was going to install Mailpoet 3 but am going to install version 2 instead. I don’t plan on having a huge list but want the auto responder feature to welcome new users to the newsletter, etc. It’s rather quite surprising that this feature was stripped out of the free version in 3, should at least be an option for lists under 2k subscribers, at the minimum. I think the long list of negative reviews will really hurt you guys in the long run and the missing features in version 3 that were in 2 should be reconsidered. I was excited for the hype of version 3 but am disappointed functionality was stripped out.
