Both cover email marketing & automation. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Twelve thousand free emails every month
Mailercloud gives twelve thousand emails a month on a free plan that needs no card, which is one of the larger permanent allowances in this category. Above it, a single cheap tier lifts the send limit rather than adding features. A separate email API is sold beside the marketing product for anybody who needs transactional sending too. The list-management and reporting tools are ordinary rather than clever, and the free allowance is the reason to be here.
Our note
The free allowance is the reason to look, and it is larger than Mailjet's or MailerLite's on emails a month. Check the contact bands before growing, because the price moves on contacts once you are paying even though the free tier is measured in sends.

Build an email template once, export it anywhere
Stripo designs the email and then hands it to whatever actually sends it, exporting to a long list of platforms rather than trying to be one. That suits anybody happy with their sending tool and unhappy with its editor. Modules can be saved and reused across a team so a brand's blocks stay consistent. It does not send, track or hold a list, so it is an addition to an email stack rather than a replacement for one.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Our note
This earns its place as an addition rather than a replacement, so price it on top of what you already pay to send rather than against it. If your current tool's editor is merely adequate, the money is better spent elsewhere; if it is actively costing you hours a month, this pays back quickly.
