If your list is small and you send very often, yes. Most SaaS teams have the opposite shape: volume grows with product usage while the engaged list stays focused, which is exactly what MailBlastr’s volume-based plans (with contacts included) price well.
Loops — its Notion-style editor is the nicest writing experience in email today, honestly. MailBlastr’s block editor with AI assistance is strong and developers often prefer templates-as-code, but Loops wins pure writing feel.
MailBlastr by a distance: full REST coverage of campaigns, automations, audiences, segments, domains, webhooks, templates, and polls with 8 typed SDKs and a CLI. Loops’ API focuses on contacts, events, and transactional sends.
Loops centers a workspace on one brand; MailBlastr includes 10 domains on Pro and up to 1,000 on Scale with per-domain reputation isolation — built for agencies and multi-product teams.
Export contacts, re-create journeys in the visual automation builder, port templates as HTML (or rebuild in blocks), verify your domain, and swap transactional calls to POST /emails or an SDK.
