mailgun alternative

The best Mailgun alternative for growing senders.

Mailgun is a developer-friendly ESP — but costs rise quickly at volume, dedicated IPs are add-ons, and support is email-only on lower tiers. SMTPServer offers SMTP + API, live chat, and a dedicated IP from €39/month.

Why switch from Mailgun?

Small and mid-size teams often outgrow Mailgun's pricing before they outgrow its features. SMTPServer targets the same developer audience with route parsing via webhooks, inbound forwarding, and transparent volume tiers — plus chat support on every paid plan.
