Mailchimp's AI is layered on top of a legacy data model and workflow. AI-native alternatives are built around agent autonomy from day one — different defaults, different price-per-outcome economics, and (usually) faster iteration cycles. The trade-off is integration breadth: Mailchimp has more mature ecosystem ties.
Look for: (1) clear pricing per outcome rather than per seat, (2) integration with the rest of your stack (not just Mailchimp), (3) audit logging and human-in-the-loop gates for irreversible actions, (4) production references in your industry. Demo videos aren't enough; ask for failure-mode evals.
