Mailgun vs Sendgrid
You don’t need to send 5+ million emails every month to have an email expert on your side. Mailgun helps senders of all sizes optimize their email strategy for greater deliverability to reach the inbox.
Keep sending at your own pace
Every Mailgun customer (even on the free plan) gets 10,000 emails free every month. Forever. With a Sendgrid account, you get 40,000 emails free in your first 30 days – but that volume quickly drops to 100 monthly emails. Great email deliverability doesn’t happen quickly. At Mailgun, you can take your time on the free tier to figure out how much email you really need to send and if a dedicated IP address is the right choice. We won’t force you to spend more than you need to or charge you to store contacts on your mailing list.
Protect your sending reputation from bad email addresses
Mailgun makes it easy to prevent deliverability issues and stay off a blacklist. We’ve built an email verification service into our email delivery platform, so you can keep your contact data clean and simplify list management tasks. Know if an email address has a typo, if it’s disposable, or if it might affect your delivery rates before sending your next email marketing campaign. SendGrid recently launched their own validation product but it's still very early stages. Mailgun's validation product is much more mature in it's lifecycle which could lead to better and faster results.
Who's Monitoring Your Email Reputation?
Do you know who is daily monitoring your IPs and email sending reputation? Get an expert on your side with Mailgun's Managed Services. Don’t wait until you learn the hard way, you need to have someone daily looking out for your email deliverability reputation.
Track the performance of your marketing email
Not all email providers give you insights into how your messages are doing once they land in the inbox. Mailgun lets you measure the business impact of your email campaigns with a/b testing, using tags on your email templates for real-time analytics. Know how your messages are rendering on different desktop clients like Outlook, Gmail, and more.
