specification: API Commons Plans specificationVersion: '0.1' schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/interface-research/main/schema/api-commons.yml#/$defs/Plans provider: MailerLite providerId: mailerlite created: '2026-05-08' modified: '2026-08-13' generated: '2026-08-13' method: searched source: https://www.mailerlite.com/pricing reconciled: true notes: >- Re-read from the live pricing page on 2026-08-13, replacing a 2026-05-08 bulk-sweep `generated` file whose tier names ("Growing Business", "Advanced") and free-plan allowances (500 subscribers / 12,000 emails) no longer match what MailerLite publishes. The current ladder is Free / Comfort / Power / Enterprise, and the Free tier is materially smaller than recorded: 250 subscribers and 2,500 monthly emails. THE FINDING THAT MATTERS FOR API CONSUMERS: API and MCP access is PLAN-GATED. MailerLite states plainly that "Email sending via the API and MCP server is available on paid plans. On Free, API and MCP access is limited and doesn't include sending." The previous artifact asserted "API access is included with all tiers", which was wrong. An agent authenticating against a Free account can read and manage records but cannot send. tags: - Email Marketing - Automation - Subscribers - Plans - Pricing description: >- MailerLite subscription plans.

On Free, API and MCP access is limited and doesn't include sending." note: >- MailerLite names the MCP SERVER in its pricing copy alongside the API — the agent surface is an explicitly monetized product line, not an unpriced add-on. That is still unusual as of this pass. maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: kin@apievangelist.com
