Great email deliverability doesn’t happen quickly. With Mailgun’s email service, you can take your time on the free tier to figure out how much email you really need to send through your web app.
A support team member that can help is just a ticket away if you need to troubleshoot (even on the free plan). Sparkpost doesn’t give any ongoing ticket support to free accounts, and you have to send at least 150k messages to get a free dedicated IP. With Mailgun, all paid subscription plans include a dedicated IP address, so if you can easily separate your high volume transactional email from other emails on a shared IP.
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.
Mailgun makes it easy to prevent deliverability issues that come up from sending to invalid email addresses. We’ve built an email verification service into our email delivery platform to help you with email list management and email authentication using Laravel to reach the right people. Know if an email address actually has a mailbox to match, or if it’s a risky contact that could affect your sending reputation. Sparkpost doesn’t do this directly on their platform – you have to integrate an external email validation service and manage multiple vendors.
Streamline your billing and account access through the same UI for a better interface – even if you’re sending marketing emails and transactional messages from multiple regions. As your email service provider, Mailgun can provision resources that process recipient data and send outgoing emails entirely within the EU to exceed the standards of GDPR compliance. Easily toggle between two regions and send from the EU or the US through the same account. Sparkpost as your email provider requires that you create two separate accounts to manage your sending domains for the EU and the US.
Mailgun has a variety of features for companies considering an alternative to Sparkpost.
