Two meters, pointed at different things

MailerLite bills the list

Every subscriber counts toward your tier, mailed this month or not. Comfort adds a send cap of 10x the tier; Power lifts it for a higher price.

day3 bills the sends

Subscribers are free and unlimited. Only the emails you send move the price, so a big list mailed weekly stays cheap.

Where that flips

A tiny list fits MailerLite Free, and a big list mailed daily can come out cheaper on Power. The calculator shows where the line falls.

Where MailerLite wins

When the list is tiny. MailerLite Free holds 250 subscribers and 2,500 emails a month for nothing. day3's free tier only sends to your own team, so the first real email costs $1. If you fit inside MailerLite Free, stay there.

When you send every day. Power has no monthly send cap, so past a certain frequency its flat price beats paying per send. A 25,000-subscriber list mailed daily is a few dollars a month cheaper on MailerLite Power, billed yearly, than on day3.

When you want the whole suite. Websites, landing pages, pop-ups, a drag-and-drop designer, digital products, paid newsletters, and A/B testing, all in one login. day3 has signup forms and a composer, and nothing else from that list. If a small marketing team uses that breadth, it's worth more than the difference.

day3 is built for a different job: a software team telling its users what shipped, plus the transactional email from the same domain. The longer comparison goes through the rest of it.

Moving from MailerLite

Import from MailerLite: paste your API key, subscribers and unsubscribes come over.

No export, no spreadsheet. Anyone who unsubscribed on MailerLite arrives unsubscribed, so the move never mails someone who left.

Websites, landing pages, pop-up designs and paid-newsletter billing don't come across, because day3 has none of them. Drag-and-drop designs are rebuilt in day3's composer. Automations are rebuilt by hand on day3's canvas, which is an early preview.

The day3 side of the move, from domain records to a test send, is shown screen by screen.
