When should you choose Sequenzy?
Sequenzy is the better choice for SaaS companies:
SaaS founders who need email with Stripe integration, not multi-channel marketing
Teams wanting simpler pricing without separate billing for each channel
Companies needing transactional + marketing in one plan without add-ons
Startups wanting SaaS automation triggered by subscription events
Developers who want a clean transactional API alongside marketing
When should you stick with SendPulse?
SendPulse is the better choice for multi-channel marketing:
Small businesses wanting email + SMS + chatbots + web push in one platform
Teams needing chatbots for WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook Messenger
Companies wanting a built-in CRM with deals pipeline
Businesses needing landing pages alongside email marketing
Budget-conscious teams who want a generous free tier to start
Pricing at Every Scale

|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | Free (2,500 emails/mo) | Free (500 subs, 15k emails) | SendPulse more generous free |
| 1,000 | Free (2,500 emails/mo) | ~$12/mo | Sequenzy free |
| 5,000 | $29/mo (60k emails) | ~$48/mo | Sequenzy $19/mo cheaper |
| 10,000 | $49/mo (120k emails) | ~$96/mo | Sequenzy $47/mo cheaper |
| 25,000 | $99/mo (300k emails) | ~$180/mo | Sequenzy $81/mo cheaper |
| 50,000 | $199/mo (600k emails) | ~$300/mo | Sequenzy $101/mo cheaper |

SendPulse's email pricing is competitive at low volumes but gets expensive at scale. Add SMS, chatbots, and transactional as separate charges and costs climb further.
