Phenomenal mail merge tool for Gmail!
I'm pleased with YAMM because it allows me to pull data from existing Google Sheets and send customized emails using Gmail quickly!
PROSThere are a lot of mail merge options out there, but I think that YAMM is among the best for working with Gmail. We use G Suite (Google Apps) in our school system and this is the reason I love YAMM - it's so easy to set up and use if your familiar with the Google platform (specifically Google Sheets). All I have to do is create a Sheet with two columns - one for names and the other for emails. From there, when my email draft is ready, YAMM does all of the hard work for me! It's so simple, easy, and quick to send a lot of personalized emails. Since it works from Sheets, you also have the ability to filter names in the spreadsheet or create tabs for different purposes, which is extremely helpful if you have to send multiple, repeat emails throughout the year. YAMM also helps me collect data and track emails (opened, clicked, etc.). When consider mail merge options, I also think YAMM is one of the most cost efficient ways of doing it if you're wanting to use G Suite tools (unless you stick to mail merge through Windows applications). I cannot really speak to their customer support - never really used that - but they do offer great, simple, step-by-step instructions that are more than you need.
CONSI honestly don't have any complaints. It's extremely simple to use and very time efficient. Some different pricing options would be helpful, I suppose. Perhaps they could build in pricing tiers depending on the need of the individual.

Affordable and easy way to send personalized emails with Gmail
This is a great, easy-to-use tool that lets you send personalized emails to a list of people (they receive it as an 1-on-1 email from you).
PROSThis is a great, affordable tool that does one thing and one thing really well: send mail merged (personalized) emails to a list of people. All you have to do is add your contact list to a Google Sheet, draft your email in Gmail and use YAMM to send them as 1-on-1 emails to everyone in the list. You can create additional columns in your spreadsheet for any word or phrase you want to personalize in the email for each contact (examples: first name, company name). YAMM also tracks email opens and clicks and provides you a report afterwards. Basically, if you need to email a list of people (prospects, customers, colleagues, etc.), YAMM is the way to go. Since the emails are sent from Gmail, they have much higher deliverability than ones sent from an email marketing platform (though you should still use the latter if you need to email a huge list).
CONSThis tool does one thing exceptionally well so pretty much no bones to pick. Something that would be nice to have is the putting the open, click and bounce rate right on the spreadsheet, so you can easily share it with people and show them the metrics if you need to. Right now, the report appears in a sidebar and only you can open it.

Great for the money and email delivery
I love it and I get good open/click through rate.
PROSIt is free unless you want access to the 400 emails per day at which point you have to pay a very low annual fee. The emails deliver directly to a recipients mailbox rather than going to promotional or similar.
CONSIt runs through gmail so if you have several bounces or failures to deliver then you can put your gmail account at risk. This means it is best to use an email verifying software before you send out any email.

Easy and Affordable but Limited Features
Overall, Yet Another Mail Merge, is a cost effective and easy platform to learn and use. I would definitely recommend it for small teams, small mail merges, and infrequent use. However, with the limited features that do not allow more than one merge scheduled in advance and lack of automated follow-ups, it is more manual than other mail merge programs. There is also very limited customer support, and it will take several days to get an issue resolved (if they respond at all).
PROSIt is extremely easy to set up, implement, and use, and it's quick to train a whole team to use Yet Another Mail Merge.
CONSThere are some limited features, such as you can only schedule 1 mail merge in advance from a specific account. You also cannot set up any automated follow-ups, or have a mass stats report pulled for multiple campaigns.

I love, love, love this tool!
Just plain, easy to use, easy to set up mail merge tools for G Suite.
PROSYAMM is such a great tool. It's easy to set up and use. It's that simplicity that I really like. The free limits are generous and the paid version is worth the cost. Sure there are more robust or feature rich tools out there, but with YAMM you are up and running in 30 seconds.
CONSAs mentioned above, there are lots of other email marketing tools that have more features, but for day to day mail merge use cases, YAMM is great. I haven't used YAMM in a few months, so perhaps some new features have come on board to close that gap.
Vendor Response

Decent Barebones Software - but lacking features
YAMM was helpful when we were first building our inside sales program, though we quickly outgrew it as a business. It's a great introduction to mail merge software and their freemium model makes it a good place to start.
CONSWe frequently ran into annoying little bugs, the UI isn't great, and you're upcharged for a lot of features that should just be in the basic subscription.
Reason for choosing Yet Another Mail Merge
We ended up switching to Mixmax in the end because it's a more powerful tool.
Vendor Response
Hi Sam, YAMM CEO here. As we currently have only one paid plan that contains all features, what do you mean by the fact that you were upcharged?

A great to tool for beginner as well as intermediate user for running email campaigns

PROSThe smoothness of email push-outs and the tracking system is really nice
CONSThe customer support is not there while we are facing any issues.

Such an amazing tool!
We send all our outbound emails with YAMM and we've implemented it in a company that uses it for all partnership, business development, sales and internal emails. They can't imagine their life without it - us included!
PROSBest simple tool I found for email sending in bulk, without the need to use a special software - it's a simple add-on for Google Sheets which we already use for a lot of different things in our company. It has all the required features you'd need in a mail merge, or better, in a mail sendout - unlimited custom variables (values in the sheet) for text, URLs, attachments or similar, scheduled sends, sending to segments, follow-ups, etc. You can use YAMM for sales outreach, marketing emails, or simply internal company emails.
CONSTracking status isn't completely live, you need to run the sheets add-on to have it update the sheet with the latest email status - this is easy to forget so you get incorrect numbers if you don't run it manually.

Amazing solution for sending personalised emails
Yet Another Mail Merge is a great solution for sending personalised emails via gmail. Using a simple draft email and a spreadsheet with your contacts you're set to go. It also provides analytics and the amazing thing is that is GDPR friendly.
CONSActually I can't tell that there is something I don't like on YAMM. It's not a complete traditional email marketing service but is a great solution for sending personalised emails via gmail.

Yet Another Mail Merge Review
I quite using the application. Really useful and easy to use. But need to give more information about syntax and all.
PROSWe can send the email at once to several people that we wanted like broadcast
CONSThe limited number of senders that can send is the only issue. We need to upgrade and the prices are a bit higher. Sometimes, though 50 senders showed, once we send a test mail it will be reduced to 49. And also it's only sending to the 47 people only. always missing 3 people.

Great, inexpensive, mail merge option with one hiccup
The service and support is excellent. It's incredibly straightforward what's going on, and being able to get test emails is wonderful. There is so much documentation about every aspect of managing a campaign and templating that I can't recommend it enough. I hope they've fixed the problem of users logged into Google with multiple accounts.
PROSDrafting emails in GMail and having them show up in the plug-in when starting a merge from Google Sheets is incredibly easy. I really like the amount of documentation they provide to customize emails and templates. One great feature is that it'll change the attachments included depending on the individual or other rules.
CONSAfter a few years this wouldn't show as connected to my account when I had multiple Google accounts registered. The only answer was to open the browser in incognito mode and log into Google again, which was a royal pain. Unfortunately, in the end, this led me to go to another service.
Reason for choosing Yet Another Mail Merge
From a quick Google search YAMM had a lot of support from other users, and the cost was really inexpensive.

This is a great mass emailing tool for all kinds of business
I love it, this has made my life easier by the time of sending personal info to many recipients at once.
PROSI love how you can just link it to your google account and create drafts that you can, later on, integrate with custom fields and even attachments to send massively.
CONSI don't like that it will not allow you to send chains without the YAMM label on them, it can feel a little overmarketed at times.

Favorite Mail Merge Tool!
Being able to schedule mail merges in advanced was a game changer. It made it possible to have email batches go out at prime reading and response times which I normally wouldn't be in the office for. Once you get a hang of formatting the add on is quick and easy to use!
PROSIn addition to their awesome mail merge features, YAMM also tracks who has opened and replied to the email and if the email has bounced back! Makes it so easy to quickly look over and assess email success. Absolutely love the feature to schedule emails!
CONSTheir support website can be difficult to navigate and finding the correct "help" topic isn't always intuitive. I often found more tutorials or help articles through the search bar than the navigation bar.

YAAM lets me send personal email campaigns to increase membership with my university club.
Hands down the best thing about YAMM is how easy it is do to. All you need is a Google email and a Google spreadsheet. Your spreadsheet can have as many fields as you want, name, email address (of course), hometown, age, etc. One you write the email in Google Mail (with some simple "<<>>" formatting, your spreadsheet will find the draft, and fill in all the rest. It's ready to send (don't worry you can test it first), and viola! you have a personal email campaign.
CONSThere are a couple hang ups. One is timing. You have to make sure your draft exists when you want the email campaign to run. As well, you can't send the email easily using someone else's email to route back to. Best to just start in your own account.

Want to follow your mails?
Its great for managing your mails when you need to send to a list of comercial clients and want to know how to proceed.
PROSIt has the 3 basic things you want to know when sending mails: if it was opened, if it bounced and if it was responded.
CONSYou cannot have the history of what happens when resending a mail that was already sended. You will need to make a new list for that.
