When Unlayer may suit you better

  • You also need page, popup or document builders from the same vendor.
  • You need SOC 2 Type II or a contractual uptime SLA today.
  • You want a free tier to build your integration on.
  • Your users need the interface in many languages: Unlayer ships 30 locales.

When Mailblocks is the better fit

  • You only need email, and want it priced for that: $49 / month instead of $250.
  • You want the AI builder and white labelling in the plan rather than bought as credits.
  • You want MJML next to the HTML, so templates stay portable.
  • You need wildcard subdomains for a multi-tenant app without an enterprise contract.
