Ask HN: What are the best options to switch from Mandrill?

For some reasons Mailchimp decided to merge his Mandrill service under is main Mailchimp business.

They sent out an email yesterday for all Mandrill users to merge their accounts. Which I have done.

However, I'm not happy at all how things are right now: - The merger was buggy and painful - The pricing is ridiculous. I have to pay a $10 fee just to be allowed to use their service - I now have to use 2 separates websites instead of one - mailchimp.com is hard to use

So, I'm not happy with how things are going and I'm thinking of leaving mailchimp for another service. What do you guys recommend?
