CaseBase
£39 / month
Engage — website included, per office, not per contact. Casework Suite is £120 if you want the inbox too.
CaseBase vs Mailchimp
Mailchimp is built to send emails. CaseBase is built for an elected office — the emails, plus a constituency website, petitions, surveys, letters and the electoral roll.
Mailchimp
By contact count
Fine for a small list. A constituency-sized audience on Standard is typically well over £100 a month — and you still need a website somewhere else.
Mailchimp prices change with list size and plan. Figures here are a typical office comparison, not a quote from them.
Electoral roll
Upload the roll and write to the people on it. Mailchimp is a mailing list — it does not take an electoral register.
Surveys and petitions
Run them on the MP's site. Responses land on the constituent. Mailchimp can do a survey on some plans; it is not a petition tool, and it is not the office record.
Letters
Mail merge letters from the same people you email. Mailchimp stops at the inbox.
Website included
News, petitions, surveys, voting record, written questions, your own domain — hosting in. Mailchimp's pages are a marketing site, not a constituency one.
A bit cheaper, too
CaseBase is a flat office price. Mailchimp goes up every time the list grows — which, in an MP office, it does.
Mailchimp is strong at email. The gaps show up once the office is more than a newsletter.
