Selzy vs MailerLite

Two affordable email platforms with different strengths

TL;DR

Key Differences

The main things that set these tools apart

Interface
MailerLite wins

MailerLite's interface is noticeably cleaner and more intuitive. Everything feels well-designed and easy to navigate. Selzy works fine but doesn't match MailerLite's polish. For daily use, MailerLite is more pleasant.

AI Features
Selzy wins

Selzy has more AI tools: email builder, multi-role assistant, template generator, image generator. MailerLite has basic AI writing and subject line suggestions. For AI-assisted email creation, Selzy offers more.

Creator Features
MailerLite wins

MailerLite includes a website builder and paid newsletter subscriptions. Selzy doesn't have either. For creators monetizing content, MailerLite is more complete.

Price
Selzy wins

Selzy is cheaper at 10k subscribers (~$55 vs $73). But MailerLite's free tier (1,000 subs) is much better than Selzy's 14-day trial. Overall value depends on your starting point.

Overview

Selzy and MailerLite are both affordable email platforms for small businesses. For our take on each, see our Selzy comparison and MailerLite comparison.

MailerLite's Clean Design

MailerLite's interface is a joy to use. Clean, intuitive, well-organized. Its email builder, landing pages, and website builder all feel cohesive. Selzy is functional but doesn't match this level of design quality. For teams who value daily UX, MailerLite wins.

Selzy's AI Toolkit

Selzy's AI features are more developed. An AI email builder, a multi-role assistant (translator, proofreader, copywriter, analyst), AI template generation, and AI image creation. MailerLite's AI is limited to basic suggestions. For AI-assisted email creation, Selzy offers more tools.

The Sequenzy Alternative

For SaaS founders who need transactional email alongside marketing, Sequenzy combines transactional email and marketing campaigns with Stripe integration at $49/month.
