Mailjet
Chose Mailjet
Much cheaper than Marketo and Pardot. And better security ratings than Campaign Monitor. I can't evaluate the integration with Salesforce; we use list management in Mailjet directly. I have been working with Marketo, Pardot, and Mailjet in the past. Mailjet's key difference is …
Chose Mailjet
To date we haven't used MailGun for all that long so I cannot comment just yet
Chose Mailjet
At first I thought Mailjet is cheap in price. But finally, the lacking of support makes it worth not a penny.
Chose Mailjet
The only real incentive to use Mailjet over Mailchimp is the price. They offer a better priced solution. A large email list can be very expensive but with Mailjet it was affordable. Only not worth the customer service lack that comes along with it.
Chose Mailjet
Mailjet was much easier to set up, and much more affordable for us than other solutions we evaluated, such as SendGrid. SendGrid may be better suited for organizations with larger volumes or more technical staff, but for us, Mailjet was a superior solution at this time. We also …
Chose Mailjet
Mautic is a more sophisticated application than Mailjet, but it's also way harder to setup. It connects with existing contact forms, which Mailjet doesn't, but then again Mautic is way more expensive. Aweber stinks in my opinion. I found it difficult to use, expensive and …
Chose Mailjet
Mailjet is just pretty straightforward there is no more "rocket science" needed to create/design templates for general marketing campaigns or for automation campaigns. For general campaigns, it can be compared with Mailchimp or Active, and yes maybe in my particular opinion …
Chose Mailjet
The pricing is very competitive and the fact that the database filters are not very strict makes life easy for small and medium business owners to reach out to current clients as well as prospective clients for business purposes and lead following. Mailchimp had too many …
Chose Mailjet
I find Mailjet much more user-friendly than Mailchimp. It is simpler to enter new contacts that I have made into the system. Entering graphics and plugging in text with cut and paste from another application works much better and maintains a good format. Mailjet is just much …
Chose Mailjet
I have used Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and a few others. To be honest, I prefer the Mailchimp platform, BUT where Mailjet outdoes all of the competition is in the quantity of emails sent. They deliver where others don't, including with the ease of reviewing their "Reports". …
Chose Mailjet
Hubspot mail is very clunky. Definitely not focused on mail as a core competency. Just not as built up and not equipped to mail in these volumes. Mailchimp feels and works more like a tool for smaller brands. Maybe they have a different enterprise tour but it didn't feel bent …
Chose Mailjet
The free version offers more flexibility, and the interface is easier to navigate. Unlike competitors, Mailjet immediately offers an ability to add alternative text when adding an image to a campaign, which is required for our organization to meet ADA compliance. Great preview …
Chose Mailjet
Its email layout are very well designed for my products. They are very much relate-able. So I always prefer to use it for building customer relationship even after our sales process. My CRM team utilize this software effectively for proper communication with our clients. My …
Omnisend
Chose Omnisend
I’ve used other platforms in the past, but once I started using Omnisend, I knew I didn’t want to switch. No doubts. It’s always evolving, always on track.
Chose Omnisend
Omnisend was easier to use than Mailchimp from a non techy user.
In my opinion, the change in ownership of Mailchimp has resulted in drastic, draconian and totally over the top reaction against loyal ethical customers without care or concern.
Chose Omnisend
For email campaigns we use Omnisend since the beginning. For product reviews, we used to have Yotpo app but we got rid off it as it got expensive with volume increase on our platform. Also, they did not consider our custom domain request. So, we switch to Omnisend for that as …
Chose Omnisend
We can create marketing campaigns that can span across multiple channels so that we can reach more customers regardless of the platform they are using. The system combines multiple channels into a single workflow for maximum engagement. Comes with various features that make it …
Chose Omnisend
I would say Omnisend is fairly similar in UX, usability, pre-built content templates, and customizable features. I chose Omnisend because it seemed simple to start and the price was within budget. The list segmentation and contact import features feel superior to the other …
Chose Omnisend
By far, Omnisend is my preferred mail software. The program has several customizations and options in the free plan that you do not receive on other mail software programs.
Chose Omnisend
At first I went through the standard choice, which is MailChimp. It's a nice-looking program and everything, but I wouldn't say they're user-friendly. It's quite techy and when you have an ecommerce store you really just want to get the results. It's a lot of work to create …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
I raised a ticket. It’s been four days and they won’t reply. So I raised another ticket asking why they are not replying. The issue was quite urgent. Then in a very short time, I saw the ticket was closed. So they have time to close my ticket, but they don’t have time or they don’t want to reply to a ticket. Very interesting.

Their attitude of doing nothing is the worst and the rudest I’ve ever seen in my years of working with several email service companies. And I see that they blame this on the pandemic. But many other good companies, they are not doing this. Your problem is your problem, don’t try to blame someone else.

So, please DO NOT buy it, consider others.

So, when everything goes smoothly, all companies seem great. But the real test comes when things go wrong — that’s when you see a company’s true face and values.
Not so long ago, we, as a company, ran into some serious issues: domain reputation problems, bugs in our email programs, and more. And of course, all of this happened right in the middle of a newsletter campaign — perfect timing, right?
But here’s the thing: the Omnisend team and their local partners are absolute professionals. I’m not super technical, and a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff is beyond me, but the support team guided me step by step with patience, clarity, and real-life examples throughout the whole investigation process.
I’m genuinely happy I chose this platform. No matter what the issue was or what caused it, they treated it like their own and committed to helping me solve it.
Polite. Fast. Warm. Professional.
That’s the standard Omnisend sets — and it's a tough one for competitors to match.
I also want to give a personal thank you to Baarath — we exchanged quite a few emails, and he really stood out. While support shifts change, he became my support superhero.
All the best to the Omnisend team — keep doing what you do!

Pros
  • Mailjet is good at "links", it's really easy to link your content and photos to outside links.
  • Mailjet is good at getting emails out in a timely fashion.
  • Mailjet is really cost-effective compared to their competitors for what all you get.

  • Newsletter campaigns - the content editor is the usual one you see on email marketing apps, but it works so smoothly and well. Of course, there's Product Picker that allows you to just pick a product from your store and it goes straight into your newsletter--no need to add images or descriptions. Really easy.
  • Popups are great because they look amazing right out of the box. It's all pre-filled so if you don't like looking at a blank screen, you can just adapt the wording and it's there. voila!
  • Automation really is nice and it's the bulk of what we're doing now. It's like second level ecommerce marketing I guess, because you really see after some time how having automated steps can really save you time and make you a lot more money. Omnisend's automations are really good and intuitive and was really easy to learn and implement.

Cons
  • They don't have any mobile application of it. This is the major drawback of this software.
  • Their support facility takes longer time to resolve issues. They should have instant chat option also for quick solutions.
  • Post campaign reporting functionality could be more diversified. It seems basic only.

  • Initial setup wasn't firing right, support issue was handled pretty quickly and easily.
  • It does not go back and put previous orders/customers into the automation. It will only work with go-forward customers from the time you install the product. (At least that's what the outcome of our support inquiry told us...).
  • Would like to see more sample templates and campaigns.

Support is weird. They ask you to keep everything in one thread, but they can't see your replies if they forward it to tech, and things easily get lost. Also tech support is HORRIBLE, they just seem snobby, and give horrible advice liek to test things on a live version vs staging

It's quite techy and when you have an ecommerce store you really just want to get the results. It's a lot of work to create one simple newsletter and their customer support is pretty much non-existent. As for Klaviyo, they're pretty expensive. We just couldn't justify paying that much for results that were pretty much similar to MailChimp--in that it wasn't really impressive. Omnisend really was a breath of fresh air and their support must not sleep at all cause they answer all my smart and stupid questions within like 15 minutes. Every single time

Return on Investment
  • Changing from active campaign to Mailjet decreased our mail spend by more than 50% in savings.
  • Been able to send so many emails for different campaigns increases our retention with active users who became engaged users. In our case, it is important to be in constant communication with customers.
  • Mailjet needs to be complemented with other tools, such as Zapier, in order to create better implementations. It might cost you for additional software but it is still cheaper than solutions that charge you by the number of users.
