Allegrow vs. SMTP2GO

It's well suited for small businesses who don't have a large email list (less than 20K size), on a budget, and wants a simple solution to warm up their domain and IP. It's less appropriate if you plan on sending emails to a large list because the pricing can be a bit too expensive. As a side note, if you send more than 20K emails per month, for every 1,000 emails, you need to connect a different email address to Allegrow. Given they allow 5 accounts, this can add up very quickly which will push you into the next pricing plan.

It's great for any application that you need to track email receipt and recipient interaction, or with devices/programs that don't fare well with Exchange based email services. Don't try to set SMTP2GO as your outbound email server if you're using O365, that just isn't a possibility (not that I've looked into that setup).

• Improved deliverability
• Improved email send rate
• Learning and understanding spam filters

• adding senders or domains to improve email deliverability
• you don't have to deal with RBL to white list an IP address previously used for spaming
• Control panel gives you enough flexibility without a cluttered UI
• Everything you need is well documented
• The API is easy to use offers you the ability to integrate SMTP2Go with virtually anything

• Less disturbance to mail due to the amount of emails being received in the inbox

• Might be nice to add a monthly good looking PDF report for subaccount users that can be branded and sent directly to the subaccount contact. A 'client facing' report that we can use to show our customers the email usage history.

Reliability in email delivery is what counts the most. SMTP2GO is undeniably a winner in this category. The price is reasonable, therefore the RoI is excellent.

While reporting could use some tweaks overall it is a very good product that works reliably and is simple to set up and maintain.

Allegrow's support team is second to none. After spending months back and forth via email correspondences, the pending issue was the direct fault of my email configuration SPF record. All this time spent was cause by me not them. They were kind enough to offer unrelentless support with ample details.They truly and genuinely care about each customer. Don't matter how big or small. One of their reps. is an all star as he held my hand every step of the way.All and all, I highly recommend Allegrow for warming up your domain and IP because their support wont leave you hanging like other services I used before!God bless you guys tremendously!

When I first contacted SMTP2GO while searching for a solution, they were extremely helpful and attentive. I think it only took two email messages to answer all my questions and make a decision. I don't think I've ever needed any support to implement and operate the several solutions I currently use with the SMTP2GO service. It just works intuitively and flawlessly.

I havent used other Allegrow alternatives. I chose Allegrow because of their lifetime deal on AppSumo and they were the only warm up email services I knew about at the time.

It has been so long since I did my comparison with other products that no comparison would be valid today. It has worked so well at a price point that is so acceptable that I don't feel an urge to do the evaluation again.

Incentivized

• Improved deliverability of emails
• Deliverability improved by 24% on average across several email accounts

• Allowed us to use the same SMTP information across the board for all customers instead of having them split between several accounts.
• More cost efficient than paying for several different email accounts.
• Created an additional layer of great customer service for us since SMTP information is able to be preprogrammed into the equipment before ever leaving our facility.
