mailgun is free. twilio is very cheap for sms.

Does mailgun have a trusted IP from where I can send emails? Sendgrid is about the same: you get a free slot for 100 mails/day but the IP is blacklisted by spamhaus so it has no use to me :/

If mailgun has the same issue, it might not be worth it. Anybody has an experience with Mailgun's free tier?

I'd be happy to pay on the order of $1 or $2 per month for my usage and be sure to send emails without issues.

I never heard of Mailgun having such issues. Previous company I was working for (medium size ecommerce platform) was delivering thousands of emails/day via Mailgun without problems. Not using their free tier though, but paying.

Yep this is the issue: Sendgrid offers "well-seen" ips in their pro tier at 50$/month or so, which is 10 times what we spend on hosting..
