I agree Mailchimp has a nice offer. However, the point of the article wasn’t whether one mailing app is better than another, it was whether you should charge people to try out your application. Lot’s of companies offer free trials, but how effective are they in converting “users” to “customers”? Aweber’s approach is interesting as I believe the people trying their service actually intend on paying for a mail service rather then simply trying out a service for “fun”. Case in point: how many free trials have you tried without really ever having any intention of paying for the service? For me, quite a few.

They also have a very generous free subscription. Check it out at: http://www.mailchimp.com
