Thanks for the suggestion! Have you tried using the redirecting feed provided by Feedburner within Nourish? This is a clever way to keep your statistics up to date.

There will be various new plugins and integration features available very soon.

Thanks for your comment and explanation Dan. As I see it, MailChimp has quite a few uses and its more mature. It remains to be seen how Nourish delivers in the months to come though I am hopeful it would be great

Mailchimp also offers integration with various other services and free templates while Nourish offers templates only in a paid plan. For me the extra 2000 mails from mailchimp do not make much of a difference as I can cap the delivery of emails with Nourish to say min. 3 per post. So, for every 3 posts. 1 email gets delivered. On the major upside : The paid plan is really economical at $29!

Heads Up! w00t for Norish. I am moving over to you guys.
Suggestion : Please try to integrate the same with feedburner so that the feedcount from Feedburner does not drop. In this case, say I move over 30 email subscribers, my feedburner count will drop for those that have migrated or will subscribe in future. Awber does it. If Nourish also provides the same feature. It'll be icing on the cake

Mailchimp is good But..

You’re limited to 500 subscribers (and upto 3000 emails) a month on the free plan. Whereas with Nourish you get unlimited subscribers and 1000 emails per month, but you are limited to 1 campaign.

Mailchimp is more intended for email buletins and one off campaigns, although it does do RSS feed Newsletters, however this was not its main purpose.

Mailchimp is double the price on some payment plans! For example 5000 emails with Mailchimp will set you back $50, with Nourish its just $29.

The Nourish team will give you hints and tips on how to improve your campaigns, from formatting your feed, to including retweet buttons, to improving open rates. Mailchip tips are not specific to your campaigns.

Nourish newsletters look good on an iPhone, whereas the templates are a bit hit-and-miss from Mailchimp.

Nourish will soon be offering a library of designer templates to choose from.

MailChimp also looks nice, thanks for the suggestion. You have made the decision – making a little difficult now

Your welcome Tanuj I think Nourish would work just fine as I am in the process of evaluating it and it seems to be working great! Will make the switch in a few days from now.

Would watch this space for updates on the service as an E-mail subscriber asked me when they would be getting E-mails and I want that option to be either set by me and passed on to them or for them to choose themselves. Thanks

Thanks for the review and kind comments. I’m happy to help anyone looking to replace feedburner (or any other enewsletter tool) to move to Nourish. You can also easily track traffic to your website (from links in your newsletter) as we’ve incorporated Google URL builder into the links. We’ve also made it easy to add subscribers, by creating a WordPress Widget so subscribers to your campaigns can easily add themselves.

I’ll let you know my experiences with Nouri.sh as you wanted to know what would happen to the subscribers. I plan to import the list to Nouri.sh. Will confirm if its a smooth ride.
