Mailjet
- Free plan caps at 6,000 emails per month with a hard 200 emails per day limit
- Starter plan is capped at 2,000 contacts; unlimited contacts require the Essential tier
- Email credits do not roll over and unused emails expire at the end of each billing cycle
- Essential and Premium plans both cap at 15,000 emails per month for $17 and $27 respectively, so the price increase buys other features, not more volume
