When should you choose Sequenzy?
Sequenzy is the better choice for SaaS:
SaaS founders needing transactional + marketing email with Stripe integration
Teams needing transactional email (Selzy doesn't have it)
Companies wanting Stripe automation for subscription lifecycle
Developers wanting a combined transactional + marketing API
Startups wanting a permanent free tier (vs Selzy's 14-day trial)
When should you stick with Selzy?
Selzy is the better choice for general email marketing:
Small businesses wanting affordable email marketing with AI tools
E-commerce stores needing Shopify or WooCommerce integration
Teams wanting Telegram chatbots for messaging automation
Marketing teams who value AI-powered email creation tools
Budget-conscious businesses starting at $7.50/month
Pricing at Every Scale
| Contacts | Sequenzy | Selzy | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | Free (2,500 emails/mo) | $7.50/mo (Lite) | Sequenzy free |
| 1,000 | Free (2,500 emails/mo) | ~$15/mo (Lite) | Sequenzy free |
| 5,000 | $29/mo (60k emails) | ~$35/mo (Lite) | Sequenzy $6/mo cheaper |
| 10,000 | $49/mo (120k emails) | ~$55/mo (Lite) | Sequenzy $6/mo cheaper |

| 100,000 | $349/mo (1.2M emails) | ~$350/mo (Lite) | Similar cost |
Pricing is very competitive between the two. The key difference is what's included: Sequenzy has transactional email and Stripe integration on every plan. Selzy has more AI tools and Telegram chatbots on the Standard plan.

Real Setup Time
| Task | Sequenzy | Selzy |
|---|---|---|
| Account creation | 2 minutes | 2 minutes |
| Domain verification | 10-15 minutes | 10-15 minutes |
| First email campaign | 5 minutes (AI-generated) | 10-15 minutes |
| Stripe integration | 5 minutes (native) | N/A (not available) |
| Transactional email | Built-in | N/A (not available) |
| First automation | 10 minutes | 15-20 minutes |
| Telegram chatbot | N/A | 20-30 minutes |

Both are quick to set up. Sequenzy is faster for SaaS-specific workflows. Selzy is faster for e-commerce and chatbot use cases.
