The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
Mailjet
Strengths
- Priced by email volume, with unlimited contacts on the Essential and Premium plans
- Advanced drag-and-drop editor on every plan, including the free tier
- Send API and SMTP relay for transactional email on all paid plans
- Free plan with 6,000 emails per month
Limitations
- Automations, A/B testing and dynamic content are reserved for the Premium plan
- The Free and Starter plans cap contacts at 1,000 and 2,000
Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement
Strengths
- Scores, engagement history and attribution sit directly on Salesforce CRM records, with no connector between marketing and sales
- Multi-touch attribution models and B2B Marketing Analytics report campaign effect against pipeline rather than against opens alone
- Einstein covers both sides of the job, scoring prospects and drafting email and landing page copy
Limitations
- Priced per organisation from $1,250 a month billed annually, so the entry cost does not scale down for a small team
- Contact allowances are the real cost driver, and extra blocks run from $100 to $400 per 10,000 contacts and month depending on edition
- Business units cost $2,000 per unit and month on top of the edition price
- The value rests on Salesforce being the system of record, which makes it a poor fit for companies running another CRM
