Pro Clean, easy to use UI
MailChimp packs a lot of functionality in a clean, usability-focused user interface.
Pro Detailed tracking
MailChimp offers detailed tracking reports so you know how well your newsletter fared.
Pro Completely free
You can add up to 3,000 contacts to your account by default. This limit can be lifted by getting in touch with the TinyLetter team.
Pro Extremely lightweight
It is a very stripped down, feature-lite service, focused on creating conversations.
Con No Multi User Accounts
Not able to have an account accessed by multiple users.
Pro Cost effective
Sendy costs a one-time fee of $59 and uses Amazon SES that charges 0.0001$ per e-mail.
Pro Huge email marketing campaign can be easily done
You can use Sendy with Amazon SES to send huge email marketing campaigns. Configure Sendy on DigitalOcean server and start sending mass email marketing campaigns.
Con Have to setup Amazon SES account separately
Not an all-in-one solution as Sendy is just a front-end for the actual mail server on SES. (This is entirely understandable as you probably wouldn't want to self-host the actual mail server, but it's extra work to be aware of.)

Can automatically ping an RSS feed for updates, generate, and send campaigns to pre-selected subscriber lists.
Pro Full bounce message management and analytics
All bounce messages are stored in full for easy viewing, as well as aggregated bounce statistics per list, subscriber, and campaign.

Con Sub-par support
It has been reported several times that Mailgun's support is not excellent. Most of the time, they require a lot of time to respond to questions or support queries.
Pro Excellent analytics
SendGrid offers amazing analytics and reports. You can check which messages are delivered, which are marked as spam and much more. SendGrid also lets you download the data in order to look through it locally.
Pro Both newsletter and transactional emails
Usually when choosing a service to send your application's emails you need two. One to send the newsletter or news and promotions from the marketing team and the other to send you application's automatic emails and messages. With SendGrid you don't have to choose two because it doubles
