MailerLite's clean interface is genuinely great for getting started — until you need conditional automation logic, advanced segmentation, or your list outgrows their 500-subscriber free plan. SendX gives you that power without the complexity tax.
"After testing out SendX for 1 month it was clear that this is the right system for us. We went ahead with the full implementation and did a deep integration of SendX with our in-house CRM. I would recommend anyone who has a marketing automation use case."
We think you should make an informed decision. Here's our honest take on where MailerLite falls short — and what it genuinely does well.

Everything you need to know about SendX and our services
Absolutely! SendX takes email marketing a step further with comprehensive automation, scalability, and integration capabilities.
MailerLite is great for starting out, but if you're planning to grow and need more, SendX provides the tools to power up your strategies beyond the basics.
MailerLite’s email automation is sophisticated to use. Their automation feature is part of every plan, including the free trial. You can use autoresponders to set up marketing emails, like welcome emails. Building automation flows using their drag-and-drop builder is easy because the platform is intuitive. However, if you’re looking to do triggered email marketing, SendX is a complete value for money. It’s a powerful tool for building multistep automation flows and is cost-effective.
Import contact information into SendX to ensure the information you want to maintain from MailerLite will still be available when the migration is complete. List cleansing is an important consideration to do before importing any existing email lists. You can use SendX to import clean lists, and the initial send should go to an engaged list.
With MailerLite’s free plan, you can send 12,000 emails monthly to 1,000 contacts. Only 1 user can sign up for the trial account. Also, key features such as drag-and-drop editor, email automation builder, signup forms, and pop-ups are included in the trial. However, if the contact limit is exceeded, you will have to shell out money and switch to a paid plan.
Yes, SendX is a far more advanced alternative to MailerLite. With SendX, you can send Personalised emails that reduce redirections and drop-offs. Connecting your own SMTP is also a huge advantage for any email marketing team. Besides, SendX offers 24/7 email, phone, and chat support.
According to Email Deliverability Report 2022, MailerLite delivered 16.33% of emails to spam folders, and 4.61% of emails got lost. MailerLite’s high spam rates and servers getting blacklisted from time to time have often frustrated subscribers. For a better deliverability rate, you can stick to SendX. We offer help with domain warmup, block spammers, and consult our clients on how to boost their deliverability rates.
