    All three solution we evaluated are compatible and integrated in Google Cloud Platform (the cloud solution we use). We went for Sinch Mailgun since we already used Sinch to handle SMSs, and they are from the same Company.

    I am in Email marketing space over 8 years. And Sinch Mailgun was far most the worst experience I got. Not suggested.

    To be honest, the tools are quite similar and again I dont recommend using them as a standalone products, but they power the work we do via CRMs and our marketing campaigns. Mailgun integrates slightly better which it is why it is the preferred choice for our agency, as it …

    We chose Mailgun over sendgrid and Postmark because we really like their API. We have stuck with them because they have never given us any reason to switch. Their reliability is superb and their API remains excellent. sendgrid and Postmark are both good in their own rites, …

    They have a great free tier for up to some amount of emails a month. Looks attractive when you are a new startup, but once you have customers and they go down, not so much.

    MailGun is more expensive than SparkPost and about the same price-wise as SendGrid. MailGun had a notably easy set-up process, since they are the first SMTP service we signed up with, and their support has been very helpful in identifying deliverability issues, providing …

    I chose Mailgun because I work in the healthcare space, and they were the only company I could find that was decent, not over the top expensive, and would sign a BAA.

    Not really a con but I typically choose SendGrid over Mailgun simply because I've been using SendGrid for so long. Overall, SendGrid and Mailgun are both rock solid and very affordable. You could probably flip a coin on which one to use. I would definitely look into SendGrid's …

    Mailgun was selected by the co-founders and original development team. But once I took over as the head of development and marketing we switched over to the competitor, SendGrid. SendGrid was not only cheaper, but gave us a much more robust product with marketing emails, ads, a …

    Chose Sinch Mailgun
    Amongst the various transactional email vendors (Mandrill by MailChimp, SendGrid's transactional email product, Mailjet, etc.) they are all relatively similar. Mailgun stands out in that it has one of the more generous free tiers and therefore is a strong choice for small …

    I've tried SES. It had spotty deliverability and AWS has fiddly docs and apis. I tried a few others and while some worked well, they had neither the exposure or maturity to make me confident in using them in a production app. Out of all the products that I have tried that offer …

    I used Mailgun first, and after they weren't able to fix my problems or offer any support I switched to Postmark with lower bounce rates, higher delivery rates with more detailed reporting. Setup is more of a to-do but it's well worth it once you start seeing your bounce rate …

    As I mentioned before, even when you do try to validate an email address client side, you have options (see above) BUT and that is the big but, those are mostly a regex solution, but it's not enough. mailgun addresses that exact issue and also looks at the domains, their rules, …

    We went with Mailgun because they had fantastic APIs and libraries (Ruby in our case) and because their pricing was among the best of all services that we evaluated.

    I previously selected mailgun because of a PHP framework called Laravel. Since I was using that framework, and they had ready examples with mailgun and how to set things up, I went with the flow. It was really easy. Later when I started deploying my services, I was introduced …
