Calendar and Mailchimp Activity are evenly matched on rating (4.0★ vs 4.0★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow. On pricing, Mailchimp Activity offers a free tier (Free) while Calendar starts at Multiple plans available. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly for stores at sub-1K monthly orders where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered. Mailchimp Activity has the larger user base (585 reviews vs 369), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Calendar's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort of orders for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Zendesk Marketplace listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Calendar typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (369 reviews). Mailchimp Activity aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (585 reviews).

Calendar and Mailchimp Activity both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV.

AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
