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.

- SendGrid Basic · Contacts / subscribers: 5,000 · Basic 5K tier. The lowest bracket in SendGrid's overage table. Larger tiers cost more. Evidence record · Twilio SendGrid source

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 pages: Publishing included. Evidence record · Mailjet source
- SendGrid Basic · Landing pages: Hosted signup form. A form you can share by link. We found no general-purpose landing-page builder. Evidence record · Twilio SendGrid source
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.
