tax deductible?

Yes.

Costs for email services like Mailchimp are a tax deductible marketing expense.

But why?

Email outreach and marketing is a staple when you're trying to grow an audience for your service. It's both ordinary and necessary to do your job. Therefore, the IRS considers email software expenses to be tax deductible expenses and claiming them will save you money on taxes!

Does it trade with the standard deductions?

Nope
