When should you choose Sequenzy?
1. You Need Marketing + Transactional
EmailIt is primarily a transactional service. If you need to send marketing campaigns, onboarding sequences, or promotional emails alongside your transactional messages, Sequenzy handles both in one platform. One dashboard, one bill.
2. You're a SaaS Founder
Sequenzy is built for SaaS businesses. Stripe integration, trial expiry sequences, churn prevention, subscriber lifecycle management. EmailIt sends emails but doesn't understand your customers or their subscription status.
3. You Want a Visual Editor
Our email editor lets you design emails with drag-and-drop blocks and AI assistance. EmailIt requires you to build HTML emails in code. If your team includes non-developers who need to create emails, Sequenzy is the better choice.
4. You Need Automation
AI-powered sequences let you build automated workflows triggered by user behavior, subscription events, or time delays. EmailIt has no automation. Everything you send through EmailIt needs to be triggered by your own code.
When should you stick with EmailIt?
1. You Only Need Transactional Email
If your product only sends password resets, order confirmations, and system notifications, EmailIt does the job well and costs less. No point paying for marketing features you won't use.
2. Budget Is Your Priority
EmailIt's per-email pricing is significantly cheaper than Sequenzy for transactional-only use. If you're watching every dollar and don't need marketing, EmailIt keeps costs down.
3. You Want Maximum Simplicity
EmailIt is straightforward. REST API, SMTP relay, done. No complex setup, no feature overload. If simplicity matters more than features, EmailIt delivers.
4. You're Already Using It
If EmailIt works for your transactional needs and you don't need marketing features, there's no reason to switch. Don't fix what isn't broken.
