Hosted marketing and transactional email with automation; the 300-message daily cap is less startup-shaped.

Campaigns and automation for up to 2,000 automated contacts; the 300-email daily ceiling slows launch day.

The vendor's own free tier does newsletters and transactional mail; 300 messages a day is the small print.
