Reviews & Testimonials
Support and services are almost always an issue with SendGrid defectors. We take pride in understanding your unique issues and prescribing our solutions accordingly.
For us, at the volume we’re sending – every fraction of a percentage means a potential customer, and as a community of designers, it’s our job to create meaningful touchpoints. High deliverability ensures that our messages and our reach are seen; any improvement in our email program has a huge effect on our business.
I switched from SendGrid to Mailgun and am so glad that I did! Yahoo began rejecting our transactional messages from SendGrid. I switched to Mailgun and all transactional messages are delivered 100%. Mailgun was very easy to setup and test. I encountered one provisioning error, which Mailgun had fixed within ONE hour on a Saturday evening! Outstanding service. I highly recommend Mailgun and wish we had used it from the start. Thank you, Mailgun!
Mailgun has great ability in email delivery. It’s also really reliable as I have not heard my website users complaining about not receiving emails. The sort of new intuitive design makes me like Mailgun even more!
