Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

MailerLite

  • Free plan caps at 250 subscribers, 2,500 monthly emails and 2 user seats
  • Comfort plan is limited to 3 user seats; unlimited seats require the Power plan
  • Pricing scales with subscriber count and email volume rather than a flat seat rate, and resets to the plan's subscriber ceiling each billing anniversary
  • Annual billing earns only a 10% discount versus monthly, smaller than many competitors' annual discounts

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
