What to watch for

Omnisend: Little reason to pick it if you do not sell products.

MailerLite: Automation runs out of room once flows get complex.

How to decide without guessing

Both run free tiers, so the cheapest way to settle this is not to read more comparisons. Open an account on each, import two hundred contacts, and build the one automation you actually need. You will know within an afternoon which interface you can live with, and that is the variable no comparison table can measure for you.
