Metricool
Metricool stops measuring social media and starts closing sales inside it.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Juuno and Mailjet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
Mailjet is publishing deliverability compliance guidance, and little else.
A low-cadence blog — ten posts spanning eight months — weighted toward authentication and regulatory change rather than product. The substantive entries are two treatments of the CNIL and Garante tracking-pixel guidance in France and Italy, and a DMARC post that states a real product default: Mailjet is DKIM-first. The rest is competitive migration content, a platform comparison still labelled 2025, and research published under the sibling Mailgun brand.

The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
The arc through 2026 is a signage vendor building out a library of small, self-contained screen apps and then repeatedly returning to fix the surfaces that host them — playlists, scenes, schedules and the media library. Commercially the direction is already set: Screen Analytics went out free in beta in March explicitly destined for a paid tier, and the Growth plan shipped in July. August adds no pricing news and instead spends its length on app configuration consistency and a long list of playback and layout fixes.
Expect the Yelp app to return from its pause and more single-purpose screen apps to follow the Clock and WiFi QR pattern. Whether Screen Analytics moves behind the Growth plan is the open question these notes do not answer.

The positioning is compliance-and-deliverability first, which is the pitch of an infrastructure sender rather than a campaign tool — the transactional-plus-marketing post argues exactly that, against teams running two platforms. The Mailchimp migration guide and the comparison roundup point at where Mailjet expects to win customers: cost and consolidation, not features. Nothing in the window describes a shipped capability.
More regulatory response content is the safest read, since two of the last ten posts already cover the same EU pixel guidance; on product direction this source is silent and a release feed would be needed.
