Without Compromise

Enterprise-Grade Security

JungleMail is designed to keep employee data within your existing Microsoft infrastructure, while Staffbase Email uses a separate cloud platform that requires staff data synchronization for full functionality.

Faster Results

Faster Deployment

You can install JungleMail within hours, leveraging your existing Microsoft 365 setup. Staffbase, by contrast, requires weeks or months for full deployment, involving complex user provisioning and app rollouts​.

Connect to SharePoint and Entra ID

Full Microsoft 365 integration

  • JungleMail is built for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint: newsletters can be archived to SharePoint, and you can pull and refine SharePoint news directly while building your template.
  • It leverages your existing Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Exchange Online, using the Microsoft Graph API for secure, high-scale distribution.
  • Users get seamless SSO – no extra logins – and, when deployed in your tenant, no external data hosting is required.

By contrast, Staffbase Email runs as a separate SaaS platform with Outlook/Gmail add-ins or a web app that integrates with Microsoft 365.

JungleMail is built within the Microsoft 365 environment (SharePoint, Entra ID, Exchange), which avoids the need for a separate platform or data duplication.

Without Hidden Costs

Outstanding JungleMail value

According to the ClearBox Consulting 2025 report, JungleMail delivers significantly better value when your focus is building, sending, and measuring internal newsletters. JungleMail uses recipient-reach licensing and is purpose-built for email, while Staffbase is a broader suite (App/Intranet + Email) with quote-based plans – so if you don’t need an intranet or employee app, an email-only platform typically lowers total cost.

Confirm with current quotes for your user counts and scope.

A Smarter Choice

Why Switch from Staffbase to JungleMail?

Where JungleMail wins: it is Microsoft-native – SharePoint, Entra ID, Exchange – with no duplicate platforms or directories. You target existing Entra ID/AD groups (SSO by default), pull live SharePoint content and archive back, deploy in hours, and send at 20k-60k+ emails/hr. JungleMail is purpose-built for internal newsletters, backed by ISO 27001 governance and flexible Azure data residency, and recipient-based pricing that includes fast sending, training, success, and templates – often several times more affordable for email communication optimisation needs.
