Considered Both Products
Mailjet
Chose Mailjet
Much cheaper than Marketo and Pardot. And better security ratings than Campaign Monitor. I can't evaluate the integration with Salesforce; we use list management in Mailjet directly. I have been working with Marketo, Pardot, and Mailjet in the past. Mailjet's key difference is …
Chose Mailjet
To date we haven't used MailGun for all that long so I cannot comment just yet
Chose Mailjet
At first I thought Mailjet is cheap in price. But finally, the lacking of support makes it worth not a penny.
Chose Mailjet
The only real incentive to use Mailjet over Mailchimp is the price. They offer a better priced solution. A large email list can be very expensive but with Mailjet it was affordable. Only not worth the customer service lack that comes along with it.
Chose Mailjet
Mailjet was much easier to set up, and much more affordable for us than other solutions we evaluated, such as SendGrid. SendGrid may be better suited for organizations with larger volumes or more technical staff, but for us, Mailjet was a superior solution at this time. We also …
Chose Mailjet
Mautic is a more sophisticated application than Mailjet, but it's also way harder to setup. It connects with existing contact forms, which Mailjet doesn't, but then again Mautic is way more expensive. Aweber stinks in my opinion. I found it difficult to use, expensive and …
Chose Mailjet
Mailjet is just pretty straightforward there is no more "rocket science" needed to create/design templates for general marketing campaigns or for automation campaigns. For general campaigns, it can be compared with Mailchimp or Active, and yes maybe in my particular opinion …
Chose Mailjet
The pricing is very competitive and the fact that the database filters are not very strict makes life easy for small and medium business owners to reach out to current clients as well as prospective clients for business purposes and lead following. Mailchimp had too many …
Chose Mailjet
I find Mailjet much more user-friendly than Mailchimp. It is simpler to enter new contacts that I have made into the system. Entering graphics and plugging in text with cut and paste from another application works much better and maintains a good format. Mailjet is just much …
Chose Mailjet
I have used Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and a few others. To be honest, I prefer the Mailchimp platform, BUT where Mailjet outdoes all of the competition is in the quantity of emails sent. They deliver where others don't, including with the ease of reviewing their "Reports". …
Chose Mailjet
Hubspot mail is very clunky. Definitely not focused on mail as a core competency. Just not as built up and not equipped to mail in these volumes. Mailchimp feels and works more like a tool for smaller brands. Maybe they have a different enterprise tour but it didn't feel bent …
Chose Mailjet
The free version offers more flexibility, and the interface is easier to navigate. Unlike competitors, Mailjet immediately offers an ability to add alternative text when adding an image to a campaign, which is required for our organization to meet ADA compliance. Great preview …
Chose Mailjet
Its email layout are very well designed for my products. They are very much relate-able. So I always prefer to use it for building customer relationship even after our sales process. My CRM team utilize this software effectively for proper communication with our clients. My …
Robly
Chose Robly
Robly is better suited for a general constituency, versus a more targeted donor system like Blackbaud. It allows us to send weekly, and other general newsletter contact and updates to individuals who might not qualify as donor prospects. Alternatively, it keeps our donor …
Chose Robly
Constant Contact is better known but much more expensive for essentially the same thing. When choosing a tool, you need to consider whether the integrations are important. If they are, Robly might not be the best tool. It is more "stand-alone" than other tools. As far as pure …
Chose Robly
In comparison to Robly, Mailchimp can also be considered very user friendly for both marketing professionals and amateurs. It offers many of the same features including creative designs and analytics. We prefer to use Robly for our newsletter and bulk marketing messages because …
Chose Robly
Robly is better than most other platforms because you get better results and you also have more analytics to look at which helps you make better decisions.
Chose Robly
When trying to find an email platform to use with our company, we tried out three major softwares: Robly, Mailchimp, and Constant Contact. The price of Robly is what initially made it stand out to us, but upon using it, we also fell in love with the simplicity of the editing …
Chose Robly
Our clients that use Robly have a tremendous amount of lead turnover. They need information quickly and need to be able to respond and adjust quickly to recipient behaviors. They are working primarily with millennial contacts that digest information at a glance and primarily …
Chose Robly
I have not compared Robly with any other software, I always chose it over any other software, therefore I have no opinion about it.
Chose Robly
Tracking and follow up is better. I switched because I really like the follow up feature to those who had not opened first email.
Chose Robly
Robly is less expensive and more user friendly than Constant Contact. We selected Robly because of the reduced price and features. Constant Contact fit well with our needs, but when another organization recommended Robly to us and we tried it, we decided to stick with it. We …
Chose Robly
Robly has been much more cost effective, which is very important for us, since we are a small business. It is easier to use than Constant Contact, though we now have a significant dip in our subscribers since we've made the switch. Constant Contact didn't even compare in visual …
Chose Robly
Blows them out of the water. Better design, ease of use, formatting, layouts. Reports are more detailed. Worth the additional cost from CC. Client datebase mgmt is much easier and better tracking.
Chose Robly
Constant Contact is much more restrictive in your ability to create a truly branded campaign. Robly has much more of a custom template set up and the tools you need to make a campaign yours and distinctive from a typical template. Constant Contact did have the ability for a …
Chose Robly
More functionality than Constant Contact.
Chose Robly
We like Robly. We love the logo too. Send us freebies. We would like to have more use of CRM on Robly. We would like to use Robly as a CRM and integrate it with our email lists on Facebook and Zoho (which we use). We need to get people more inclined to interact back with us in …
Chose Robly
We chose Robly initially because they boasted the ability to receive 50% more opens through most email marketing campaigns. We've been happy with their service and software and plan to continue use [it].
Chose Robly
We switched to robly after they advertised 50% more opens. Among the various features of their software, we have created much better looking email messages, as well as increased options for sending and reviewing the response to the message. Robly also offered better pricing …
Chose Robly
We chose Robly for the lower cost and OpenGen - it has served us better than Constant Contact which was more than triple the price.
Chose Robly
We outgrew the simple and minimalist service TinyLetter affords.
Chose Robly
Robly has much of the same functionality as Constant Contact. I find Robly's interface to be more intuitive. Robly allows us to upload as many images and documents as we want, without charging us extra. Robly's subscription price is lower than Constant Contact. Their …
Chose Robly
I had used Constant Contact for years, needed a change, like their drip deployment, and follow up deployment [times] number of days after the initial deployment.

User Testimonials
MailjetRobly
Likelihood to Recommend
I raised a ticket. It’s been four days and they won’t reply. So I raised another ticket asking why they are not replying. The issue was quite urgent. Then in a very short time, I saw the ticket was closed. So they have time to close my ticket, but they don’t have time or they don’t want to reply to a ticket. Very interesting.

Their attitude of doing nothing is the worst and the rudest I’ve ever seen in my years of working with several email service companies. And I see that they blame this on the pandemic. But many other good companies, they are not doing this. Your problem is your problem, don’t try to blame someone else.

So, please DO NOT buy it, consider others.

Robly can become easily exploitable for advertising agency services, which rely mostly on stable dynamics to make sure that marketing campaigns work and provide enough results to see profits. In other words, if Robly is managed from a purely professional methodology, better results can be obtained. Robly can also be used to manage small sales where you can better organize information about a specific customer, such as their contact details and history of interactions through different sales operations by the company, so it is not only possible to focus its use on mass marketing, but also intimate businesses that require some degree of administrative control in relation to new message alert notifications. If used in conjunction with services oriented to the execution of seminar sessions or online classes, it is possible to send mailings to groups, where the content information of each session allows viewing different documents and material of various formats from the e-mail, and thus make the sessions to be held seem more attractive to the public. This strategy is very feasible if you are going to sell a product explaining its use and characteristics.

Cons
  • They don't have any mobile application of it. This is the major drawback of this software.
  • Their support facility takes longer time to resolve issues. They should have instant chat option also for quick solutions.
  • Post campaign reporting functionality could be more diversified. It seems basic only.

  • The emails do not allow us to add certain tools that would improve our management in the case of data collection, such as the application of interactive surveys within these emails.
  • It does not integrate with services such as Survey Gizmo, which would be useful for structuring surveys.
  • It also does not integrate with sufficient cloud backup platforms, which forces us to export our customer list data manually, and this can lead to errors.

Because we like the price and value. The annual subscription model allows us to maximize usage without worrying too much about cost, being a small mom and pop outfit.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Overall Robly's usability can be considered easy and intuitive. For experienced marketing professionals this program would not be challenging to navigate even on the first uses. There may be a slight learning curve for amateur users but overall it is fairly simple and easy to use and creates professional results.

Return on Investment
  • Changing from active campaign to Mailjet decreased our mail spend by more than 50% in savings.
  • Been able to send so many emails for different campaigns increases our retention with active users who became engaged users. In our case, it is important to be in constant communication with customers.
  • Mailjet needs to be complemented with other tools, such as Zapier, in order to create better implementations. It might cost you for additional software but it is still cheaper than solutions that charge you by the number of users.

  • Robly has enabled us to become more efficient in communicating with our audience. Because of the small size of our organization, we have a limited number of hours to dedicate to crafting communication with our audience. The ease of use of Robly means that we can spend less time on the mechanics of creating mass emails and more time on the quality of the communication itself.
  • Since we started using Robly, our Opt-outs, Spam and Bounce rates (which were already quite low) have dwindled to practically nothing. Over our last 10 campaigns, we had 6 emails bounce, 1 marked as spam, and 18 opt-outs out of over 30K emails delivered.
