Elastic Email vs Mailjet: automation, free caps, and contact counting

Elastic Email Marketing Free, Starter, and Pro at the listed contact tiers, and Mailjet Free, Essential 15,000, and Premium 15,000. Elastic Email API pricing is separate and not included.

The advice below is our reading of each vendor's plan terms. We have not tested usability, performance, or deliverability.

By use case

Test a small automated sequence

Elastic Email Free includes one automation and has a daily send cap. Mailjet Free doesn't include automation.

Choose a paid sending model

Elastic Email Starter pairs a contact tier with a monthly sending allowance. Mailjet Essential allows unlimited contacts but caps monthly sends by tier.

Plan the largest individual campaign

A monthly total can hide a daily limit. On each free plan, check whether you can send your whole newsletter on the day you plan to. The monthly number alone won't tell you.

Upgrade for the feature you need

Elastic Email Pro allows unlimited automations but still caps sending at your tier. Mailjet Premium adds automation and landing-page publishing. Unlimited automations do not mean unlimited sending.

Common questions

Is Elastic Email's API plan the same as its Marketing plan?

No. These records cover the Email Marketing product. Research API pricing and limits separately before comparing developer sending.
