There are also additional charges depending on the number of contacts and emails you send, beyond the limits of your plan. These are called add-on contact blocks, and the cost varies based on the plan you are on. If you go over the contact or send limit for your tier, Mailchimp will charge you for an extra, smaller set of contacts. The price of these add-on blocks, and the number of contacts and email sends they include, depends on your plan and pricing tier. 

For example, on the Standard plan, the email send limit is 12 times your contact limit, so one block of 1,000 additional contacts includes 12,000 additional email send​

So if your total contact count or send count ever exceeds the limit of your plan, they won’t interrupt your service. Instead, you’ll see an additional charge on your monthly bill.

Pay As You Go Plan

The Pay As You Go Plan is a flexible alternative to a monthly plan. Instead of paying a recurring monthly fee, you purchase email credits as needed. Credits are units of payment that are used for the Pay As You Go plan. Each email sent costs one credit.

It's a good option for seasonal markets or people who send quarterly updates only. This plan comes with the same set of features as the Essentials plan. For example, one email sent to 100 contacts equals 100 sends, so it would cost 100 credits. Credits expire after 12 months. Pay As You Go credit blocks start at $150 for 5000 credits. These credits cannot be used with any other Mailchimp pricing plan. You can stop this plan anytime but you won’t be refunded for unused credits.‍
