When should you choose Sequenzy?

1. You're building a SaaS product

If you bill through Stripe, Sequenzy is the obvious pick. Your customer data syncs automatically - who's on trial, who upgraded, who's about to churn. Stripe integration means your email automations actually know your business context. Mailercloud has no concept of subscription states.

2. You want AI to write your emails

Mailercloud has AI subject line suggestions, which is a nice touch. But Sequenzy goes much further - describe what you need ("5-email onboarding sequence for trial users who haven't set up their workspace") and the AI generates everything. Subject lines, body copy, CTAs, timing. Test your ideas with our free subject line tester.

3. You need transactional + marketing in one tool

Mailercloud is marketing-only. Password resets, order confirmations, notification emails? You'll need a separate service. Sequenzy handles transactional emails alongside marketing, so you're not managing two platforms. Check our transparent pricing.

4. You need SaaS-specific automations

Trial expiry reminders, churn prevention sequences, upgrade nudges based on usage - Sequenzy has these built in. With Mailercloud, you'd need to build all of this from scratch using generic automation triggers.

When should you stick with Mailercloud?

1. You need unlimited email sends

This is Mailercloud's strongest selling point. If you send high volumes - daily newsletters, frequent promotional blasts, or large list broadcasts - unlimited sends at $50/month is hard to beat. Sequenzy caps at 300k emails/month for 10k subscribers. See our full list of Mailercloud alternatives if you're comparing options.

2. You're on a tight budget and want the best free plan

Mailercloud's free tier gives you 1,000 contacts and 12,000 emails/month. Our free tier is 100 subscribers. If you're bootstrapping and need room to grow before paying, Mailercloud gives you more runway. Brevo is another good budget option with unlimited contacts.

3. You want AMP interactive emails

AMP emails let recipients interact inside their inbox - fill out surveys, browse product carousels, RSVP to events. We don't support AMP. If interactive email is part of your strategy, Mailercloud or Mailmodo are better choices.

4. You want proven customer support

Mailercloud consistently gets praised for responsive, hands-on support. Multiple reviewers mention fast response times and willingness to help with setup. We offer direct founder chat, which is fast but limited to one person. If you need a support team, Mailercloud's is solid.

Honest Limitations of Sequenzy

• Email cap: 300k emails/month at 10k subscribers vs Mailercloud's unlimited. High-frequency senders will feel this.

• Smaller free tier: 100 subscribers vs Mailercloud's 1,000 contacts. Less room to test before paying.

• No AMP emails: If interactive email is your thing, we can't help here.

• No annual discount: Mailercloud offers 30% off annual billing. We don't yet.

• Newer platform: Mailercloud has been around longer and has more established infrastructure.

Honest Limitations of Mailercloud

• No transactional email: You'll need a second tool for password resets and receipts.

• No SaaS features: No Stripe integration, no subscription tracking, no MRR monitoring.

• "Unlimited" has limits: New accounts start with ~5,000/day sending caps that increase over time.

• Basic AI: Only subject line suggestions, no content generation.

• Same contact, multiple lists: You can't add the same email to multiple lists, which limits segmentation flexibility.

• Limited integrations: Smaller ecosystem compared to tools like Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign.
