Which one is for you
Pick Mailazy if

- Works for teams that already pay for SES, SendGrid or Mailgun
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want one bill, as the SMTP sending is paid to a separate provider
- Pricey if you need behavioral rules, which start at $49 a month and allow just 1 on Pro
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 automation and 1,000 contacts
- Watch out: SSO and white label need Business at $199 a month
- Watch out: the page does not say whether the free plan includes behavioral rules
Pick Mailjet if

- Tight if you pass 50,000 emails a month, where Essential stops and Premium is $59, or $499 at 500,000
- Not for you if you need a dedicated IP below 100,000 emails a month, and even then it's on request
- Watch out: the free plan stops at 200 emails a day and has online support for the first month only
- Skip it if you need automations or landing pages on Essential, as they start with Premium
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAMailazyFair | 2.4GPAMailjetFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $49 a month billed monthly for 2 seats, against $15 in the middle of email tools, and the behavioral email rules are limited to 1 on that plan. Business is $199. | CGraded on 50,000 emails a month: Essential is $40 at that volume billed monthly, 10% less paid yearly, toward the dear end of this category. The same plan covers campaigns, with unlimited contacts and segments, but 50,000 is as far as Essential goes. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree covers 1 seat, 1,000 contacts, 5,000 emails a month, newsletters and 1 automation, enough for a small list. The page does not say if free includes the behavioral rules. | CFree for good, no card: 6,000 emails a month with the API, SMTP and webhooks, the largest monthly allowance of any free plan here. It's capped at 200 a day, and online support only lasts the first month. |
| Features | CBehavioral emails, automations, newsletters and AI drafts. It sends nothing itself, so you pay an SMTP provider on top, and SSO and white label need Business. | BAPI and SMTP sending, a parse API for inbound email, webhooks, templates with variables, a campaign editor with MJML, validation and inbox previews. It covers the sending job; automations and landing pages need Premium. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You connect your own SMTP provider and set up events and rules before it does anything. | CJudged on how fast a developer sends a first email: API keys and SMTP details come with the free plan, once your domain is set up. No rating on record. The campaign side adds an editor and lists to learn, if you use it. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb service that works with Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Claude and ChatGPT. No desktop or phone app. | BWeb, with an API and SMTP relay, plus WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, HubSpot, Google Cloud and Sinch Engage. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top. |
| Best for | behavioral emails sent through your own SMTP | app email and newsletters on one plan |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
