Hello, I work for a small charity with a limited budget. We are currently using Mailchimp, but we are curious as to what alternatives there are as we are migrating to a new CRM this year (from Etapestry to either Beacon or Donorfy) and thought it would be wise to explore new options for this mailing function in addition, as no CRM option we found can quite replace what Mailchimp does (emails with images etc). 

We like the price of Mailchimp but not particularly its function. we mostly use it to send out monthly newsletters to our supporters. 

We recently explored DotDigital but the monthly subscription proved prohibitive for a small charity.

I had a look on Charity Excellence Framework, in the resource section but couldn't find anything relvant to this query. 

Can anyone advise any trusted alternatives to Mailchimp for us to consider please?

thank you in advance.
