Pros and cons
Pros
- At the smaller contact list, $9 ranks 1 of 10 in our data, the strongest price placement in the set.
- A free plan is part of the deal, and its limits of 6,000 emails/month, 1,000 contacts, 200 emails per day are enough to run a small list without spending anything.
- The step to the larger list is modest, $19 against $9, so list growth does not rewrite the bill.
- It is aimed at beginners and small business, and the published price points suit a sender of that size rather than a large list.
Cons
- At the larger contact list, $19 sits above Postmark's $15, so a growing list erodes the price advantage.
- Support runs on help centre only, which is thin when a campaign is already mid-send.
- Zoho's free plan covers Up to 2000 contacts, 6000 emails per month, 5 users, so Mailjet's 6,000 emails/month, 1,000 contacts, 200 emails per day leaves less room on a free tier.
- Ranking at the larger contact list is 3 of 10, well off the smaller list placement.
Who it suits
- Small businesses and beginners who want to start on a free plan with limits of 6,000 emails/month, 1,000 contacts, 200 emails per day and no spend.
- Teams on a smaller contact list, where $9 is the figure that decides it.
- Readers happy to work through a help centre for answers.
Who should look elsewhere
- Postmark, if a larger contact list is the plan, since its fee there is $15 against Mailjet's $19.
- Zoho, if the free tier needs to hold more contacts, because Up to 2000 contacts, 6000 emails per month, 5 users covers more than 6,000 emails/month, 1,000 contacts, 200 emails per day.
- HubSpot, if you want a free tier that reaches across marketing, sales and service instead of a contact based email price.
Intro and renewal prices
Mailjet keeps its email marketing prices in a short list: $9 for the smaller contact list and $19 for the larger one. That list does not split a promotional opening rate from a later renewal rate, so the figure you budget on at signup is the figure that keeps running. For a reader weighing price at entry and price at renewal, that removes one variable: there is no opening discount to model and no cliff to expect at the anniversary.
Price as your list grows
Moving up a list size takes Mailjet from $9 to $19. That is a gentle step rather than a repricing, and the same published figures apply at renewal, so list size is the main thing that moves the bill. Teams planning a large import can project the cost from a single figure, and the jump between the two sizes is not where a budget tends to break.
How it compares on our data
On the smaller contact list, Mailjet ranks 1 of 10 in our data, the highest placement in the set. At the larger contact list it ranks 3 of 10. Read that as a tool that is hard to beat while the list is small and less special once the list grows. The pattern is the argument, since Mailjet earns its place on the smaller list and the case weakens as contacts accumulate.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Mailjet cost at the smaller contact list?+
Mailjet's published price at the smaller contact list is $9, and the price at the larger list is $19. Both figures come from the same published plan list, so the smaller one is the figure to budget against while you are sizing up a new list.
Does Mailjet have a free plan, and what is in it?+
Yes. The free plan gives you 6,000 emails/month, 1,000 contacts, 200 emails per day at no cost, enough for a small list and a modest sending rhythm. Compare that with Zoho's free allowance of Up to 2000 contacts, 6000 emails per month, 5 users, which holds more contacts on a similar monthly email volume.
What does Mailjet cost as the contact list grows?+
The step up is gentle: $9 at the smaller list becomes $19 at the larger one, rather than a jump of several multiples. That pair is worth checking before you import a large audience, since the free allowance of 6,000 emails/month, 1,000 contacts, 200 emails per day will not carry it.
Does Mailjet's price change at renewal?+
Mailjet's published list does not split a promotional opening rate from a later renewal rate, so the amount you start on is the amount that continues. At the smaller contact list that figure is $9, and at the larger list it is $19. Budget on those.
How does Mailjet compare with Postmark on price?+
Postmark is cheaper at the larger contact list, where its price is $15 against Mailjet's $19. Mailjet has the stronger position while the list is small, so which one is cheaper depends on how far you expect the list to grow.
How does Mailjet's free plan compare with Zoho's?+
Zoho's free plan covers Up to 2000 contacts, 6000 emails per month, 5 users, so it holds more contacts than Mailjet's free allowance of 6,000 emails/month, 1,000 contacts, 200 emails per day on a similar monthly email volume. If your list already sits near the cap, or several people need to send, Zoho is the roomier option on the free tier.
How do you get support from Mailjet?+
Support runs through a help centre, which covers the everyday questions a small sending team runs into. No live channel is listed alongside it, so a blocker during a campaign means working through written material rather than reaching someone directly.
Who is Mailjet aimed at?+
Mailjet is built for beginners and small business, and the pricing matches that. The free plan lets a first campaign run before any spend, while $9 keeps a small list affordable once you move past it. Bigger senders should check how the price behaves as the list grows.
How does Mailjet score on price in our data?+
The overall score is 9.3, and cost carries 9.3 of it. The price strength comes from the smaller contact list, where Mailjet ranks 1 of 10, while the larger list sits at 3 of 10.
