  Hey Tania! Plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com-hosted sites. However, you can link subscribers to your MailChimp account by creating a Custom Widget:

  Let me know if you have any other questions :)

  Thanks, will try! Are there other wordpress sites which can use plugins and are there benefits to switching?

  Tania, We have many users who opt to launch self-hosted WordPress sites because they enjoy the flexibility of installing plugins, or using third-party themes. If you haven’t yet looked into launching a site via WordPress.org, take a peek at this:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Let me know if you have any questions about self-hosting, or about WordPress.org! Thanks very much.
