I figured people would want to use this post to compare alternatives to Sparkpost so I’ll mention that the only solution on the list of [supported email services](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-email.md) that’s able to compete with that is [Elastic Email](https://elasticemail.com/pricing/). It’s able to do 200,000 emails on $18 a month. I hope this is useful to users who want something with a premade config for Discourse but doesn’t cost a ton of money.
