What is Postmark?
According to the vendor, Postmark focuses not only on delivery, but incredibly fast delivery. Buy focusing on transactional email and not allowing sending of bulk promotional email, Postmark maintains a pristine reputation for delivery with ISPs.
The vendor doesn't ask customers to pay extra for "improved delivery" by upgrading to a dedicated IP. They stand by their pool of shared IPs just as strongly as their dedicated IP addresses because they manually approve every account and don't allow any bulk promotional email on our IPs.

(1-10 of 10)Postmark is the transactional email holy grail!
I love how I get a weekly email for each website with a summary of the total emails sent through Postmark, and bounces (if any). Usually, if there are bounces it's because someone put in the wrong email (occasionally because someone sent a prior email to spam). This has been useful to tell e-commerce clients when one of their customers didn't receive the confirmation email due to entering the wrong email during purchase.
Everything about Postmark is great - support, setup, product, visibility into what's going on. I wasn't sure what to expect when ActiveCampaign bought it, but so far, no change. A+, highly recommend for transactional email.
- Great, helpful customer support (rarely needed)
- Reliable product
- Well thought out interface, easy setup
- Great ongoing visibility into status of emails sent through Postmark
- Honestly, there is no real place I would expect them to improve.
When email deliverability matters
- Email deliverability
- Uptime and stability
- Delivery and open tracking
- I wish the DMARC monitoring service was built-in
- I wish they kept historical records longer, or had an option to
- I wish they helped set up BIMI
- I wish they had a feature to validate/verify an email address
Transactional Email Made Easy
Some examples of transactional emails are for new user sign-up, order confirmation, password reset, and emails dynamically alerting users about in-game occurrences (end of a season, monthly team report, etc.).
- Easy to integrate with
- Very good delivery rates
- Open tracking
- Supports bootstrapped businesses
- Postmark meets all of my needs, and there's nothing missing that I wish it had.
I can't speak to how well-suited Postmark would be for other use cases or at a much larger scale. For what I need, it's perfect, and it has been one of, if not the most, stable pieces of my entire stack.
Postmark, reliable email when you need it most.
- Reliability is a must, and we see this with Postmark.
- Implementation was easy enough.
- Not many cons since it's pretty straightforward, and if email delivery service was often impacted, we'd most likely find a new provider.

Excellent Solution for High Volume Email Management
- Excellent real time tracking of production server.
- Automated reporting is very nice. Great to not have to pull reports manually.
- User management is very easy.
- Cost effective.
- Latency can be an issue.
- Postmark utilizes a status page, which is very helpful however the last incident we experienced with Postmark was not documented on the page.
- API was simple to write to.
Postmark support can be slow to respond when an issue arises, however they always resolve issues within a timely manner.
Generally our emails are not time sensitive, so it is not an issue for us but if you need emails delivered immediately-you might want to weigh options.
Postmark for Email
- Email tracking: we often get questions from customers about if a certain message was delivered and we are able to quickly search by email address to pull the message in question up and view the status.
- Proactive System Status Updates: if Postmark ever experiences an issue a banner is posted across the top of their webpage with the current status. You can click into the banner to be redirected to their status page to gain more insight.
- Filtering: we can filter messages by tags which makes it helpful when looking to view a certain type of message (i.e 'DailyDigest').
- We have run into some glitches in their system that have causes messages to not get delivered or for delivery to be delayed. I'm not sure what causes this on Postmark's end but it makes for some very angry customers on our end.
If email deliverability matters, Postmark is one of the best.
- Transactional Emails.
- Great user interface. Easy to manage templates and see activity.
- High deliverability rates. Seen much better deliverability scores then when we had our own dedicated IP.
- Email history limited to 45 days. Longer would be helpful.
- The ability to re-deliver messages from the website directly when they fail.
- Don't have much else. Very solid service.
Postmark gets your messages into inboxes every time
- Deliverability is far better than any other ESP I've used
- Customer support is quick, friendly and passionate
- You can tell this is a small company which cares about their services
- Nice UI with a clear 45-day history of messages/events
- The new Rebound API is awesome for catching users who enter the wrong email address during an order/signup request
- I wish there was an annual payment option. Currently, you can only pay monthly.
Postmark - A useful tool for transactional emails
- Excellent deliverability
- Ease of go-live since SMTP is also available (apart from API)
- Inbound email handling
- I would love to see more search capabilities
- More improvements on the templating language
- More permissions for users
It is not the correct solution for handling email marketing since it does not offer reporting capabilities and other main features found in email marketing platforms.
