I’m always wary when I see such deals:
I’ve heard the recommendations and the supposed trustworthiness of the founder, but I’d still be reluctant to subscribe.
An ‘80+% off’ sale reminds me of how some providers display their pricing to mask shady practices like overselling.
I was recently looking for a pay-as-you-go plan but didn’t find many options. Mailgun initially hid, then completely removed, their pay-as-you-go “flex” plan. It seems providers aren’t too fond of these plans anymore, often pushing customers toward minimum $15–$20/month subscriptions for sending 10,000–20,000 emails, even when all we need is a few hundred.
Which providers offer plans for less than $5/month besides Amazon SES?
That said, a flat price and single payment for unlimited use is certainly an interesting business choice.
