When should you choose Sequenzy?

Sequenzy is the better choice when you need more than just transactional email delivery:

• SaaS founders who want marketing automation + transactional in one platform

• Non-developers who need visual email builders, not HTML templates

• Stripe-powered businesses that want automated emails based on billing events

• Small teams that prefer subscriber-based pricing over per-email costs

• Marketing-focused companies that need campaigns, sequences, and segments

When should you stick with Mailgun?

Mailgun is the better choice for pure transactional email at scale:

• Developers who want mature REST + SMTP APIs with 10+ years of reliability

• High-volume senders who prefer pay-per-email pricing

• Teams needing inbound email parsing for support tickets, etc.

• Companies requiring email validation to clean lists before sending

• Enterprises needing dedicated IPs for reputation isolation

• Applications needing SMTP relay as a drop-in replacement

Honest Limitations of Sequenzy

• No built-in email validation service

• No inbound email parsing for reply handling

• Dedicated IPs only available for enterprise customers

• Newer platform (less battle-tested than Mailgun's 10+ years)

• No send time optimization AI

Honest Limitations of Mailgun

• No marketing automation—purely transactional

• No visual email builder (HTML templates only)

• No campaign management or broadcast features

• No subscriber segmentation for marketing

• Email costs can add up at scale (per-email pricing)

• Requires Mailchimp for marketing features (different platform)
