Head to head

Email Bump vs MailerLite

These two are structurally similar: contact-priced, sending uncapped at the top tier, no CRM, no pretension to be a suite. The differences are the transactional API, the free tier, and which side of the Atlantic your data sits on.

Ten rows below, including the three where MailerLite wins. It's cheaper at the entry tier and it's in the EU, which for some readers is the whole decision.

The short version

Which one you want, in three sentences

Pick MailerLite if you need EU data handling, if you want landing pages and forms in the same tool, or if $12/mo Comfort covers your sending and the cheaper entry price matters more than the send cap.

Pick Email Bump if you also send product email — receipts, resets, notifications — and would rather not run a second subscription for it, or if you want uncapped sending without moving to the top tier.

Pick neither if you need deep branching automation, which is ActiveCampaign, or ecommerce revenue attribution, which is Klaviyo.

Against us

Three places MailerLite is the better choice

It's cheaper to start and it's in the EU. Comfort from $12/mo undercuts our $19, and MailerLite is a Lithuanian company handling EU data as standard while we send from us-east-1. If either of those is your constraint, the rest of this page is academic.

Landing pages, forms and websites. All included. We have none of them. If your signup flow lives in MailerLite today, replacing it means adding another tool, and that changes the arithmetic.

It's a more finished product for non-technical users. The editor, the templates and the onboarding are excellent, and it's been polished for years. We're newer, and it shows in places.

FAQ

Email Bump vs MailerLite, asked and answered

Is Email Bump cheaper than MailerLite?

Not at the entry tier — Comfort starts at $12/mo against our $19. It becomes cheaper when you'd otherwise be running two subscriptions, because MailerSend for transactional email is a separate bill and here it's the same plan.

It's also cheaper if you'd need MailerLite Power at $25/mo purely to escape Comfort's send multiplier, since sending is uncapped here from the first paid tier.

Can I import my MailerLite subscribers?

Yes — a standard CSV export of subscribers, fields and groups imports cleanly. Take the export with subscription status attached so unsubscribes arrive as unsubscribes.

Automations rebuild rather than import, as they do between any two platforms.

Do you have landing pages like MailerLite?

No. No landing pages, forms builder or website builder. Email, inbound email, contacts, segments and flows.

If MailerLite is hosting your signup forms today, that's a real gap you'd need to fill elsewhere before switching.
