Mailjet vs. beehiiv

beehiiv is the dynamic and modern alternative to Mailjet, focused on newsletter growth and monetization.

Email Infrastructure vs Newsletter Growth & Monetization

Mailjet is infrastructure for developers: transactional emails, SMTP relay, and API-first delivery. It excels at password resets, order confirmations, and high-volume promotional blasts.

beehiiv was built by the team behind Morning Brew for a different purpose entirely: audience growth, content monetization, and building newsletter businesses.

Mailjet charges by email volume. Send 100,000 emails monthly? That's $89/month.beehiiv charges on subscriber count with unlimited sends. 10,000 subscribers sending weekly? That's a flat $96/month, no matter how many emails you send. One model punishes engagement. The other supports it.

Mailjet is good for

  • Product teams that send transactional messages via API or SMTP
  • Developers who want to integrate transactional email into their apps
  • Marketing teams that manage high-volume outbound email campaigns

beehiiv is best for

  • Content-focused newsletters and publications
  • All-in-one solution for website, email, data analytics, and growth tools
  • Ownership of your audience and custom aesthetic
  • Affordable flat-rate pricing that favors growing creators and companies
  • Enterprise-level solutions made simple and accessible to everyone
