We’ve acquired TinyLetter. For those of you who don’t know, TinyLetter is a beautifully simple email newsletter app created by Philip Kaplan and launched late last year. We’re pretty excited about this. Sure, we think TinyLetter fills a gap in the MailChimp offering and all that, but more importantly, we think it has the potential to fill a significant gap we’ve seen growing in the social conversation. … We’re trying really hard not to make things disruptive for existing TinyLetter users.
MailChimp to Phase Out Its Popular TinyLetter Email Service
But now TinyLetter’s days as a standalone entity are numbered, [Mailchimp Co-founder and CEO Ben] Chestnut told me in October. When I met with him in Atlanta and mentioned my newsletter plans, Chestnut advised me to stick to a basic MailChimp template instead of a TinyLetter, to avoid any potential headaches when MailChimp swallows up TinyLetter.
MailChimp’s CEO clarifies: TinyLetter won’t shut down this year
“We have no plans to make changes to TinyLetter in 2018. And we’ll let you know what to expect before we make any changes in the future.
In the long term, we do intend to integrate TinyLetter into MailChimp. Doing this will better enable us to support the product and its users. But we’re taking it slow because we want to get it right.”
Since then, our business priorities have evolved, and we’ve been laser focused on building tools to serve marketers and help small businesses grow. The TinyLetter community’s needs have changed too, with some customers moving to Mailchimp to scale and monetize their newsletters, and some moving to alternative services that cater specifically to writers.
With all of that in mind, we’ve made the decision to close TinyLetter and focus on our core Mailchimp product. On February 29, 2024, we will officially sunset the product and you’ll no longer be able to access your TinyLetter account or letter archive. You’ll still be able to log in and access your account until February 29. We know you worked hard to build your audience, so we strongly encourage you to log in before February 29 to export your subscriber list.
