Pros

“Steep Learning Curve: The sheer breadth of options (dedicated IPs, suppression lists, custom routing) can overwhelm newcomers; the UI feels more like a developer console than a user‑friendly dashboard.”
GP

Gilbert P.

DevOPS

“Limited Built‑in Email Templates: Unlike some competitors, Mailgun doesn’t offer a visual template editor; you need to craft HTML yourself or use third‑party tools.”
GP

DevOPS

“They provide backward compatibility with their old API to reduce downtime during upgrades, especially for legacy systems where upgrading to the latest library or source code is not feasible.”
AP

Alan P.

Software Engineer

Pros

“We needed to be able to send Text Messages across various Internet Providers, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Cricket, Etc.. To make this feature work we needed the ability to have our emails converted to the "Text-Messaging" protocol and SMTP2GO provided this service.”
DC

David C.

Administrator

“Security is a notable strength — SMTP2GO supports SPF and DKIM (when your domain is verified) and helps you implement DMARC via DNS.”
MS

Matthew S.

IT Manager

“SMTP2go is our go-to any time we need an easy to implement SMTP solution for things like multi-function devices or scripting & automation, and it has not once failed, not even a hiccup.”
TG

Todd G.

Manager, System Operations

Cons

“Pricing Complexity: While free tier is generous for low volume, the cost structure (per‑sent + per‑recipient, dedicated IP fees, and extra features) quickly adds up, making it hard to predict expenses without careful budgeting.”
GP

Gilbert P.

DevOPS

“Need your own custom domain which is understandable for the sake of potential email spam which degrades the credibility of the platform.”
EL

Edward L.

Manager

“I didn't like how mailgun disable our account (with over 25 active applications/domains and hundreds of users) and didn't tell use why for over 3 days.”
