Ahora comunican que los planes gratuitos que habían extendido a quienes los utilizaban ya no estarán disponibles. Y me recomiendan pasar al plan de inicio de 30 USD al mes, lo que ascendería a 360 USD al año.
(…) estaremos descontinuando nuestros antiguos planes gratuitos. El 15 de septiembre de 2019 o antes, deberás iniciar sesión en tu cuenta de SparkPost para seleccionar uno de nuestros planes actuales. Según tus patrones de envío y uso de funciones*, recomendamos el plan Starter de 50K. Si no seleccionas uno de los planes actuales antes del 15 de septiembre, serás migrado automáticamente a nuestro plan gratuito “Test”, con un límite de 500 correos electrónicos/mes y 100 correos electrónicos/día.
* PS: ¡Uso menos de 6.000 correos electrónicos por semana!
Creo que el plan de inicio es un asalto armado No utilizo ninguna función de SparkPost, solo lo que Discourse necesita para enviar los correos de registro o el resumen. Ni siquiera utilizo la función de Discourse para responder por correo electrónico.
Así que… ¿qué otro servicio de correo electrónico puedes recomendar?
I used Mailgun, which has a great free tier. If you do less than 10,000 emails you should be fine and integration worked well with my Discourse install. https://www.mailgun.com/pricing
I’m facing the same issue. The entry level Production tier cost is too high to justify staying.
Bear in mind though, you can share the quota across instances, so if you have several forums, all monetised …
Mass migration ensues! Lookout for related support posts
(Trouble is, if they are an efficient outfit with most of their costs scaling with volume I suspect they won’t care - they just want to turn all volume into cash)
I was still on one of their old 100,000 free emails/month plan and got the mail too. I can’t blame them for having to run a profitable business, but for me, Amazon SES is a more economical choice. I’ve been using it on my Discourse instance for over a year without any issues.
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 that’s able to compete with that is Elastic Email. 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.
Small, low traffic sites aren’t likely to be sending 200,000 emails a month. Free tiers, either Elastic’s or Mailgun’s (which I recommended earlier) should suffice.
Excuse me @Owen_Walters, when you mentioned Elastic Email; which plan is the best to start with discourse? I saw in the pricing’s elastic email page that they offer… the “Email API”'s offer “Pay as you go” will work with discourse?
That’s actually a very good option for even moderately active sites, and still good for very low volume new sites, thanks for sharing.
Do they aggregate by all your sites - ie charge by account rather than domain? Can you then leverage your quota across several sites? (Which would essentially make adding a new site marginally zero cost).
SidV, what do you mean by that? SparkPost doesn’t specifically have Discourse Integration as such, but its SMTP interface permits Discourse to send emails? What is Elastic Email missing?
I really do not understand why Elastic Email Sales Support told me that. I asked them if they could buy any of their plans to use Discourse, and they responded again that there was no integration.
Now I’m still in conversation with another person.
Finally, Carlos from Elastic Email said:
Pay as you Go is definitely compatible with SMTP. You should have no problem using that plan. Just ensure to use the instructions in the article and the Discourselink you provided and everything should work correctly.
If there are any problems during setup please let us know and we’ll ensure to provide assistance to get everything working correctly. We highly appreciate your help with this.
Thanks for choosing Elastic Email!
I should try, but it seems that nobody here uses Elastic Email (?).
Just ask them if they still support SMTP, because that’s what Discourse uses. The guide I linked above shows how to use Elastic Email’s SMTP with Discourse.
