These Platforms Serve Different Markets
Let's be direct: tinyEmail and Sequenzy are built for different businesses.
tinyEmail is e-commerce-focused. Shopify integration, product catalogs, abandoned cart emails.
Sequenzy is SaaS-focused. Stripe integration, subscription tracking, transactional + marketing.
Choosing comes down to your business model, not feature lists.
When should you choose Sequenzy?
1. You're Building a SaaS Product
Sequenzy is purpose-built for software businesses. Stripe integration syncs customer data, MRR, subscription status, and churn signals. tinyEmail's integrations are designed for e-commerce transactions, not recurring SaaS billing.
2. You Need More Emails for Less Money
The pricing difference is significant. Sequenzy includes 300,000 emails/month at $49/mo. tinyEmail Pro is $65/month for 15,000 emails. That's 20x more emails at a lower price. If you send frequently to your subscriber base, this adds up.
3. You Want Unified Transactional + Marketing
Sequenzy handles transactional emails (password resets, receipts, account notifications) and marketing campaigns in one platform. tinyEmail focuses on marketing - you'd need a separate service for transactional.
4. You Need SaaS-Specific Automations
Trial expiry sequences, churn prevention flows, upgrade prompts based on usage - these SaaS lifecycle automations are built into Sequenzy. tinyEmail's automations are optimized for e-commerce journeys.
5. You Want Revenue Attribution for Subscriptions
Track which email sequences drive MRR, reduce churn, or convert trials. Sequenzy's analytics are built around SaaS metrics. tinyEmail attributes revenue for e-commerce purchases.
When should you stick with tinyEmail?
1. You Run a Shopify Store
tinyEmail has a free plan specifically for Shopify stores. Deep integration with product catalogs, customer purchase history, and abandoned cart data. Sequenzy has no e-commerce integrations. If you're on Shopify, tinyEmail is the obvious choice.
2. You Need Lots of Templates
tinyEmail offers 600+ pre-built templates optimized for e-commerce. Product showcases, promotional layouts, seasonal campaigns. Sequenzy has fewer templates focused on SaaS use cases.
3. You Want CRM Integration
tinyEmail integrates natively with Salesforce, Zoho, HubSpot, and other CRMs. If your marketing stack includes a CRM, tinyEmail connects directly. Sequenzy doesn't have CRM integrations.
4. You Need a Dedicated IP
tinyEmail Pro includes a dedicated IP address for sending reputation control. This matters for high-volume senders who want isolated deliverability. Sequenzy uses shared infrastructure.
5. You Need E-commerce Automations
Abandoned cart recovery, product recommendations, post-purchase sequences, browse abandonment - these are tinyEmail's strengths. Sequenzy doesn't have e-commerce automation features.
Honest Limitations of Sequenzy
- No e-commerce integrations: No Shopify, WooCommerce, or product catalog support.
- Fewer templates: No 600+ template library.
- No CRM integrations: No Salesforce, HubSpot, or Zoho connectors.
- No dedicated IP: Shared sending infrastructure only.
- No SMS: Email-only platform.
- Newer platform: Less history than established competitors.
Honest Limitations of tinyEmail
- Expensive for email volume: $65/mo for 15,000 emails vs Sequenzy's 300,000 emails at $49.
- E-commerce focused: Not built for SaaS billing and subscription tracking.
- No native SaaS integrations: No Stripe OAuth for subscription data.
- Limited transactional support: Focused on marketing, not transactional emails.
- AI locked to Pro tier: AI features require $65/mo minimum.
The Real Pricing Breakdown
At 10,000 subscribers, typical sending:
Sequenzy:
- $49/mo
- 300,000 emails/month included
- All features included (AI, automation, transactional)
tinyEmail:
- Free: 500 subscribers, 15,000 emails (no AI, limited features)
- Pro: $65/mo for 15,000 emails (AI, unlimited segments, dedicated IP)
- Additional emails: Tiered pricing based on volume
The volume difference is stark. If you're sending more than 15,000 emails/month, Sequenzy's pricing is significantly better. If you need dedicated IP or Shopify integration, tinyEmail's premium makes sense.
About Email Volume Pricing
tinyEmail prices by email volume, not subscriber count. This works well for e-commerce where:
- You email customers frequently with promotions
- Sending varies seasonally (Black Friday spikes)
- Subscriber lists may include one-time buyers
Sequenzy prices by subscribers with generous email limits. This works for SaaS where:
- You have a defined subscriber base
- Sending is consistent (onboarding, lifecycle)
- You want predictable monthly costs
