Mailgun
Postmark
Great API and something like 25,000 emails for free to start. They're hard to beat
I'm looking at their pricing page right now and it says that free trial includes only 100 emails per month.

Thanks for the suggesting! It looks great!
And they’re bootstrapped! Love that company.
Mailgun as well - using it for traditional transaction email (billing, registration, password resets) and also allowing customers to send emails and track them from https://soccercruit.com.
Mailgun is free for sending up to 10,000 emails and it's pretty affordable after that. The way I look at it is if I am sending more than 10K emails a month, I definitely have a number of paying users, making it well worth it.
how do tackle 'my user is a spammer' issue ? @colin_mcatee
Does mailgun allows you to have some sort of IP reputation at "your final user" level ?
Im looking for that :
Hey @lv_universal_voucher I am going to have to figure out how to tackle the user being a spammer issue, I just know that you can. I am currently building the beta of my app and have not got to it yet.
I am not sure about IP reputation but I am pretty sure it would be your reputation. Mailgun recommends you setup a cname with a different subdomain then your main site/app (ex: email.myapp.com) - here is some documentation on how they verify domains: https://documentation.mailgun.com/en/latest/quickstart-sending.html#verify-your-domain
I am sorry I cannot be more helpful, I am not a Mailgun expert but I have had great experience getting everything setup so far and their logging is great.
let me know if you find the solution to our issue @colin_mcatee.
ping @startupdude @eelcoj @luisehk if any of you know how to take this issue !
@lv_universal_voucher does your system allow your users to send to lists (e.g. multiple recipient broadcast) or is it intended for 1-to-1 / transactional scenarios? What kind of monthly volume are we talking about here?
By default, Mailgun uses a shared IP. Here's an article that talks about the differences: https://help.mailgun.com/hc/en-us/articles/202453900-Do-I-need-a-dedicated-IP-address-
Yes, that is the feature, @startupdude
myfinaluserA sending messages to multiple hisfinalusers X Y Z by mail on broadcast mode. I've read your link. Im clearly under 50K / week, but it does not solve the issue (that i might think i have).
Maybe i should just not care until its a real issue...
Been using Mailgun for years. Love them.
We are sending transactional emails and also notification emails which is the core feature of https://newreleases.io service with Mailgun. Pretty happy with the service.
There was an issue that Hotmail blacklisted the shared IP from where emails were sent. Support set a different one very quickly.
I use Mailgun. Simple APIs, easy to setup and manage. They give you 10K free emails per month, so as long as you stay under that limit, you pay ZERO.
I wrote my own PHP wrapper class that handles pretty much everything that I need which means I can do whatever I want and not limited to "what the platform supports".
Happy to answer any questions.
Most popular seems to be Mailgun, followed by Sendgrid, Amazon SES and Postmark.
I’ve been using solely Mailgun.
We use a combination of Mandrill, sendgrid and PostMark. Sendgrid is decent but it does not have the same level of reporting/email logs that Mandrill provides. For example, in sendgrid, you cannot see the "email body" of a specific email that was sent when troubleshooting issues. Major Pain. Mandrill however is more strict in terms of requiring domain verification etc (which could be a good thing depending on your use case). PostMark is a very recent addition to our infrastructure so cannot quite comment yet but looks good so far.
Amazon SES
We use Amazon SES. 62,000 emails a month (if triggered from an EC2 instance) mean many businesses won't end up paying a penny.
Mailjet. Great free plan.
Mailjet.
We use https://www.mailjet.com/ and paid 20$/month.
But they have $ 0 FOREVER with 6,000 emails/month and 200 emails/day.
