How we grade them
| 2.2GPAMailganerFair | 2.4GPAMailjetFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo paid plan price is stated in a table; a calculator sets it, and the figures differ between versions of the page. SMTP transport runs $0.68 per 1,000 emails. | 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 | CFree for accounts with up to 500 contacts, a cap that most newsletters pass. | 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 | CBulk and triggered mailings, editor, API, SMTP and validation. Product recommendations and subscriber validation are not part of the paid tariff, and validation is billed separately. | 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. Plans are picked by a calculator and there is a template editor and sending domain to set up. | 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 platform with API, webhooks and SMTP, plus an own-server deployment option. | 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. |

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.
