Alternative to MailerLite: Hyax
MailerLite is one of the best ESPs for creators. But when you also need a website, products, courses, community, and support tools, you’re duct-taping five products together. Hyax is the full platform with AI-powered email built in.
Pricing at a glance
MailerLite scales with subscriber count. The slider uses estimated monthly prices by list size (Growing Business / Advanced-style), confirm on mailerlite.com.
Hyax email cost (optional)
Assumes ~40,000 sends/mo (4 sends to your full list per month). Pick one, /pricing for Resend vs plan caps.
MailerLite: Estimated monthly billing by subscriber tier; MailerLite’s exact quote depends on plan and annual vs monthly, verify on mailerlite.com.
Hyax:Starter plan ($29/mo). Monthly billing, flat pricing, unlimited contacts, 0% platform fees. Does not include raw Resend charges when you use your own API key for unlimited sending. See pricing for email limits and plan caps.
Showing the Starter subscription only ($29/mo). About 40,000 sends/mo is above Starter's included platform sending, so this comparison does not include the email cost of that workload.

Why switch from MailerLite to Hyax
Platform, not only ESP
MailerLite is built for email (and landing pages). Hyax adds blog, products, courses, community, help desk, chat, and AI, still at $29/mo flat.
Often pricier at scale
At 15k contacts MailerLite is often tens of dollars more than Hyax Starter, and that’s before you buy the rest of your stack elsewhere.
Editorial + campaign AI
Hyax trains on your brand for long-form and campaigns. MailerLite’s AI stops at lighter generation inside an ESP workflow.
