I read MailChimp is to send bulk emails and Mandrill for transactional emails.
I am not so familiar with these terms. Can I have bulk transactional emails when I have a lot of users? or does bulk emails apply just when I sent one copy to many users?
My app is sending emails a few because is new, but it could grow. Will I be sending bulk emails when application grows? event if these emails are transactional?
What is a transactional email?
"Smooth setup & ui", "Mailing list" and "Robust e-mail creation" are the key factors why developers consider MailChimp; whereas "Simple installation", "Great api" and "Generous free allowance to get you started" are the primary reasons why Mandrill is favored.
You can use Mailchimp Transactional for personalized, one-to-one e-commerce emails, as well as automated emails like password resets, order confirmations, and welcome messages. Here's a comparison of Mailchimp Marketing and Mailchimp Transactional, to help you decide which works best for you.
Mandrill is a paid Mailchimp add-on, and allows clients to send one-to-one transactional emails triggered by user actions, like requesting a password or placing an order. They're powerful touchpoints between you and your customers, so we've made it easier to make the most of them.
Transactional emails are typically non-marketing emails. Usually they are a thank you, confirmation, invoice, receipt etc. Something that is related to a transaction your customer made. General newsletters or promotional/sales emails (anything sent in bulk to a list) is not transactional.
