MailerLite Version

In 2022, a brand new version of MailerLite was released that features both an updated interface and an infrastructure designed to support advanced features. All accounts created after March 2022 will be using the new version. Accounts created before this date will use our previous version, which we have renamed MailerLite Classic.
