Elastic Email compared with Mailjet

Two different things to pay for

The biggest difference between the two platforms, apart from the feature set, is the billing structure. For a small business with one list and a growing campaign calendar, that number decides whether emailing your customers more often is affordable.

Mailjet logo

You pay for email sent

  • Volume-based: the bill follows how many emails you send each month
  • Contacts stored don't affect the price
  • A heavier sending month pushes you into the next tier
  • Sending more often to the same list moves the price

You pay for contacts stored

  • Contact-based: the price follows your list size
  • A generous sending allowance comes with every tier
  • Plan level (Starter or Pro) is set by the features you need, not the volume
  • Email the same list more often without the price moving

What each platform costs

The gap is small when you're starting and widens sharply as soon as a monthly newsletter becomes weekly

Why small businesses are switching to Elastic Email

Hands holding a dollar

Affordable pricing at every plan tier

Elastic Email is cost-effective for small businesses, no matter their sending needs or list size. It's cheaper than Mailjet, and the gap grows even bigger with every campaign.

Landing pages, A/B testing, advanced campaign statistics, and even monetization features - everything built into the Elastic Email app.

Chat bubbles

24/7 human customer support for free

Where Elastic Email pulls ahead

Features a small business would otherwise buy from someone else or do without entirely.

Landing pages without a domain of your own

Build a signup or sales page with the no-code builder, start from a customizable template, and publish it on a myelasticemail.com address if you don't own a domain yet, so a small business can collect emails before it has a website. On Mailjet, landing pages are a Premium-tier feature.

Landing pages without a domain of your own

A/B testing and advanced campaign statistics on the plan you're already on

Test subject lines and content, segment your list, and read full campaign statistics from the Starter plan up. Mailjet puts A/B testing behind Premium. And its campaign statistics are more limited, so the businesses sending the fewest emails, and with the most to learn from each one, are the ones left guessing.

Paid newsletters, powered by Stripe

On the Pro plan, you can charge subscribers a recurring fee for premium content, with checkout handled through Stripe, so a list a small business spent years building can become a revenue line, not just a channel. Mailjet has no built-in monetization features at any pricing tier.
