Mailjet is a sending platform with a campaign builder added on. Its API suits developers who send application mail, and its automation on Premium lets you build sequences today. For a team that does both kinds of email, that combination is useful.
Ternloop is built for the campaign workflow. The editor, contact groups, CSV import, scheduling, and delivery stats are designed for newsletters and announcements. Bounces, complaints, and unsubscribes are marked automatically through SES webhooks.

Questions to ask before you switch
Start with your sending pattern. Mailjet supports email through an API and through its own tools. If your product sends transactional messages, you may want to keep an API for those and use Ternloop for campaigns. If your main work is a newsletter or a promotion, Ternloop's writing and scheduling tools may be enough.
Next, compare costs at your volume. The comparison we reviewed lists Mailjet's Essential plan at $17 a month for 15,000 emails, and its Premium plan at $27 a month, which includes automation. Ternloop's 20,000 email tier is $15 a month. Mailjet's free plan covers 6,000 emails a month, with a limit of 200 a day. Check the current plan details before you decide.
Then compare the automation features. Mailjet's Premium plan includes automation, according to the comparison we reviewed. If you need sequences that react to behavior, keep Mailjet for those flows.
Finally, plan the move. Export your contacts, import the CSV into Ternloop on a Pro plan, and send a test campaign to a small group. Confirm that unsubscribes and bounces update your list before you send to the full audience.
