## Keep sending after a trial

Mailjet Free has monthly and daily caps. SendGrid's trial ends, so plan for a paid plan before starting a regular newsletter.

## Check contacts and sending separately

Mailjet's paid tiers allow unlimited contacts with a set sending allowance. SendGrid Marketing Campaigns uses named contact and sending brackets. Get the price for your exact bracket, because the product's starting price may not apply to it.

## A signup form is not a landing page

SendGrid gives you a hosted signup form you can share. Mailjet Premium can publish landing pages. If you need control over layout, domain, or publishing, check those separately from forms.

- Mailjet Premium, landing: Publishing included.  Source: https://documentation.mailjet.com/hc/en-us/articles/35529166189083-Mailjet-s-Landing-Pages, checked 2026-11-12. Record: https://feature-ledger.lehmanrylan790521.chatgpt.site/services/mailjet/#mailjet-premium-landing

- SendGrid Basic, landing: Hosted signup form. A form you can share by link. We found no general-purpose landing-page builder.

## Common questions


### Can I use SendGrid Email API prices for these tables?

No. Marketing Campaigns is billed separately and has its own contact and sending limits. Email API prices don't apply to these records.
