I recently switched over to MailerSend for all of our transactional e-mail. It's drop-dead simple to setup a new domain, and you can manage multiple domains under one account. Their domain validation is rock solid and IP address pool is clean and not blacklisted. Logging and analytics could use some feature upgrades, but it's not bad. Support has been excellent. I have no connection to MailerSend other than being a relatively new customer.

Wow, I've been looking for a Mailgun replacement for a long time. I was using it to receive emails at @mydomain.com and forward them to my primary email. Then they started charging for inbound routes, and I couldn't justify the price for <200 emails a month. So I switched back to my registrar's free email forwarding, and had to give up API support.

MailerSend seems to be a great alternative.

Thanks for your kind words! I’m a lead developer over at MailerSend and every happy customer is a driving force to make our product better!

Minimum $25 per month is not a good deal for many customers like me. Sometimes clients send $9-15 per month emails from their sites, sometimes $50 worth (with mailgun). I don't want to pay a fixed price like $25 when I may only use 1/5 of it.

For now, you can use the free plan, and pay 1$ per 1000 emails.

I love that the pricing page is simple instead of having multiple paid tiers each with their own pricing scale for # of monthly emails. I'm currently doing 100k/month with Mailgun, and while saving money on sending isn't much of a priority at the moment, I'll definitely look into this more down the road. Maybe try it out for a side project in the mean time.

I'm sort of surprised I haven't noticed this before when researching email providers.

Thanks! You are more than welcome to test out our services, we do provide 12k emails/month for free. And yeah, we are quite new in the scene of transactional email providers, but growing fast so you should hear more and more about us in the future :)

CTO at MailerSend here. We are happy to be mentioned here and if you have any problems or suggestions let us know - we want to keep it dead simple but also for customers to have all the features that are needed.
