Continuing the discussion from Mailgun is $1/month per 1,000 emails sent (and first 1,000 are free) : I’ve been happy with Mailgun but am paying about $25 per month now (25,000 emails). What cheaper – but still reputable – alternatives can you recommend? I wondered about Amazon SES. Also, a recent…

Thanks. That’s a good start. From memory, I think Mailgun’s 50k option is $35.

No problem. I can do a bit more research for you in a few.

MXRoute is an option up to 300 emails/hour for $45/year.

I’ve had fun reading their responses to bad reviews on Trustpilot . I like the cut of their jib!

[image] ufuk: try amazon SES. This. I’ve sent 5,441 emails in June, being 0.0001 each = U$ 0.54.

I tried migrating to SES these days. They denied my request for production access for some security reasons that they won’t let me know (?). And it appears that it’s tricky to track emails with SES.

contact with support, i believe they will fix it.

SendGrid is indeed a good alternative. Their service is reliable even in China. (Mailgun’s verification code can’t reach me via SMS…while theirs can) The old price of Essential 50k plan was even cheaper, which is 15$.

Cheaper alternative to Mailgun?

I know SendGrid has an Essentials plan where you can send up to 50k emails per month for $19.95 per month.
