Making the work
Growing an audience
Running the business
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.
Send-based email pricing with a real free tier
Mailjet meters emails sent rather than contacts held, and its free tier carries six thousand a month, which is enough to run a small list indefinitely. Marketing campaigns and transactional sending share one account and one sending reputation. Contacts are uncapped on every plan including the free one, so a large dormant list costs nothing. Editing is collaborative, which is unusual here and is the reason teams pick it over a cheaper single-seat tool.
Our note
Compare on emails a month rather than subscribers, because that is the axis this prices on and it is the reverse of most of the category. The free tier is genuinely permanent, which makes it a better first choice than a trial-only tool if you are not yet sure the newsletter will stick.
Only on this side
Emails a reader can fill in without leaving
Mailmodo sends interactive email: a form, a poll or a booking widget renders inside the message and submits from there, so a survey does not need a landing page and a click. Where a mail client refuses that, it falls back to an ordinary email with a link. Campaigns, journeys and the interactive blocks sit in one builder. The interactive part is the whole reason to pay, so it is worth checking whether the audience reads mail somewhere that supports it before committing.
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
Check where your readers actually open mail before buying, because the interactive rendering is the product and the fallback is a normal email with a link. If most of your list is on a client that supports it, the response-rate gain is real and easily worth $27.
