Overall Satisfaction with Mailgun

We used Mailgun to provide transactional email services for a recruiting services startup we had developed. It was part of our core infrastructure, serving all emails (sign up, password resets, notifications, etc.) required for our application to operate. It allowed us to easily implement these features within our Ruby on Rails app without having to worry about things like servers, deployments, and configuration.
  • Fantastic API and developer experience.
  • Easy to set up and maintain.
  • Reliable service with fantastic reporting.
  • The web UI could've been better in places.
  • Mailgun was a vital service in developing many of our application's core features, allowing us to differentiate ourselves from other outdated services in the market. It was core to almost all of our early sales.
We went with Mailgun because they had fantastic APIs and libraries (Ruby in our case) and because their pricing was among the best of all services that we evaluated.
Mailgun is great for software startups looking for a way to implement transactional emails. Their API is fantastic, and they provide official libraries in several common programming languages, making implementation a breeze. Their pricing is also extremely competitive giving you a lot of bang for the buck when cash flow might be tight. The only reason not to recommend Mailgun might be if you have very particular email delivery requirements that extend beyond their (very robust) services.
