SENDGRID ALTERNATIVES

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.

Protect your sending reputation from bad email addresses

Mailgun makes it easy to prevent deliverability issues and stay off a blocklist. 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 also launched a validation product in 2019, but Mailgun's validation product is more mature in its lifecycle, which could lead to better and faster results.
