When should you choose Sequenzy?

Sequenzy is the better choice when email is your primary channel:

  • SaaS founders who need transactional email + marketing with Stripe integration

  • Teams wanting simplicity who don't need multi-channel notification routing

  • Companies needing marketing automation alongside transactional email

  • Startups wanting all-inclusive email without separate provider subscriptions

  • Founders preferring AI-generated sequences over building from scratch

When should you stick with Courier?

Courier is the better choice when you need multi-channel notification orchestration:

  • Apps with multiple notification channels (email + push + SMS + in-app)

  • Teams wanting user preference management across channels

  • Companies needing intelligent routing (fallback from push to email to SMS)

  • Platforms wanting provider abstraction to switch providers without code changes

  • Products needing in-app notification feeds

Honest Limitations of Sequenzy

  • Email only—no push notifications, SMS, Slack, or in-app messages

  • No multi-channel routing or orchestration logic

  • No user notification preference management

  • Smaller free tier compared to Courier

  • No provider abstraction (but you don't need one since Sequenzy delivers directly)

Honest Limitations of Courier

  • Doesn't send emails directly—requires a separate email provider and its costs

  • No marketing automation, campaigns, or email sequences

  • Complex to implement for teams that just need email

  • No Stripe or payment integration for SaaS workflows

  • Notification-focused—not designed for email marketing

  • Overkill if you only need one channel
