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

Rocket.Chat

  • No prices, tier names with numbers, or minimum seats are published anywhere on the pricing page; all three paid editions (Commercial, Government, Defense) route to Contact sales or Contact us
  • The free community edition is not represented on the pricing page at all, which lists only the three quote-only enterprise tiers
