When should you choose Sequenzy?

1. You're Building a SaaS Product

MailerLite is built for small businesses, bloggers, and creators. Sequenzy is built for SaaS founders. If your business runs on recurring subscriptions and you need to sync with Stripe, trigger emails based on subscription events, and track MRR—Sequenzy is purpose-built for this.

2. You Need Transactional + Marketing Emails

Sequenzy handles both transactional emails (password resets, receipts) and marketing campaigns in one platform. MailerLite is marketing-only—for transactional emails, you'd need their separate MailerSend product, adding complexity and cost.

3. You're a Developer

Our API is modern and built for deep product integration. If you're building email into your SaaS product programmatically, Sequenzy's developer experience is stronger.

4. You Want SaaS-Specific Automations

Trial expiry sequences, churn prevention flows, usage-based alerts—these are built into Sequenzy. MailerLite's automation is more generic and requires manual setup for SaaS use cases.

When should you stick with MailerLite?

1. You Need Landing Pages or a Website

MailerLite includes a landing page builder and website builder—both with modern templates. We don't have landing pages or website features. If you need to build lead capture pages or a simple website, MailerLite is the better choice.

2. You're a Blogger, Creator, or Small Business

If you're running a newsletter, blog, or small business (not SaaS), MailerLite is designed for you. Their features—digital product sales, pop-ups, landing pages—are optimized for content creators and small businesses. Sequenzy is optimized for SaaS founders.

3. You Need the Generous Free Tier

MailerLite offers 500 subscribers free with most features included. Our free tier is only 100 subscribers. If you're just starting out and need to minimize costs, MailerLite's free plan goes further.

4. You Want Unlimited Email Sends

MailerLite doesn't limit email volume on paid plans. We cap at 300k/month on the $49 plan. If you email your list very frequently, MailerLite removes that constraint.

5. You Sell Digital Products

MailerLite lets you sell digital products directly through their platform. We don't offer this. If you're selling ebooks, courses, or downloads, MailerLite has built-in commerce features.

Honest Limitations of Sequenzy

  • No landing pages: MailerLite has unlimited landing pages with templates. We don't.
  • No website builder: MailerLite can build full websites. We can't.
  • Smaller free tier: 100 subscribers vs MailerLite's 500.
  • Email limits: 300k/month vs MailerLite's unlimited.
  • No digital product sales: We don't have e-commerce features.
  • Newer platform: MailerLite has more operational history.

Honest Limitations of MailerLite

  • Not built for SaaS: No native Stripe subscription management or SaaS-specific features.
  • No transactional emails: You need MailerSend (separate product) for password resets, receipts, etc.
  • Limited advanced automation: MailerLite's automation is simpler—less powerful for complex SaaS workflows.
  • Basic API: Functional but not as developer-friendly as Sequenzy.
  • Reduced free tier: Recently cut from 1,000 to 500 subscribers on the free plan.
