SaaS email needs differ from e-commerce - prioritize product event triggers. Transactional + marketing email in one tool simplifies your stack. Segmentation capabilities determine how personalized your campaigns can be. Check deliverability rates - the best features don't matter if emails go to spam. API access matters for SaaS - you'll want to trigger emails from your product.
