Pros
I like the list management, I like that everything you really need is bundled in a single plugin, and it's free. Yes, there are add-ons, and you will need to upgrade for high-volume emailing, but for a small business to send out a weekly newsletter to a moderate-sized list, it's the way to go.
Cons
There isn't much. I do wish that the signup widgets were more customizable and a bit more intuitive, but it's nothing you can't figure out with a little work.

I develop website on the WordPress platform, and for a while was using the Mailchimp plugin as the go to source. I was introduced to Mailpoet and have not looked back as a solution for clients that need that type of functionality.
Pros
The robust function for the out of box product.
Cons
You need a firm understanding of how email marketing works for your targeted audience.

Pros
It's directly integrated inside of Wordpress, so you can manage your email campaign directly from your website. But a part from that is a mess
Cons
The editor, the email editor is something so hateful, so stressing, so frustrating I stopped using it.

Now that MailPoet has been acquired by WooCommerce, it has become an industry standard for Wordpress. Of course, this can be both a good and a bad thing, depending on how they will chose to move forward with this.
It still is a very easy to use tool which I recommend to anyone starting a website or anyone with a niche website that has a small audience. For the most part, you won't need anything more complicated unless you chose and want to expand. But beware of the cons I've listed here.
Pros
Mailpoet is very easy to use. It's specifically designed for the average Joe. You can easily integrate it into your Wordpress and start capturing leads. It has a good amount of features to be useful but not too many to be overwhelming and it integrates with Woocommerce, which means it has functionality to run an ecommerce store. Or you can use it for just running a blog and use the "send emails of the latest blogs posted" feature.
Cons
While the subscriber data is technically hosted on the website, it's more of a hybrid solution. Yes all subscribers are stored in the Wordpress site, but the email deliverability is done through MailPoet and they are pretty quick to punish anything that "looks" like SPAM and disable your email deliverability without appeal. For this reason I only recommend you subscribe to the monthly plan, not the annual plan.
You can change your email sending provider to something else, sure, they allow you to do it. But, your usage of the plugin and the cost is still based on the number of subscribers even if you're using someone else's email delivery plan, which seems nuts since all the data is on your server and the usage of the plugin whether it's 1 subscriber or 1 million doesn't affect them at all if you're using someone else's email delivery service.
The free plan has a 1000 subscriber limit, which is fine for most small sites, but only a delivery of 5000 emails per month, which - if you have 1000 subscribers - that means you'll only be sending 5 emails a month.
