Overall Satisfaction with Postmark

We send primarily transactional email - notifications for verifying user email addresses, for new messages received, and alerts based upon user preferences. We also send occasional, more generic broadcast emails to subsets of the user base. Postmark has been the most effective email provider in ensuring that emails end up in user inboxes. This is especially critical for us, considering we require email verification to begin using our services.

  • Customer engagement is higher because they are receiving emails from our application consistently
  • Mailgun and from Pathwire
I've also used AWS Simple Messaging Service (SES) but couldn't select it from the above, as well as the old one Mailchimp used to run and shut down. We had big deliverability issues with those services, inconsistent but often for self-hosted email providers and free email providers like Hotmail or Yahoo.

If email deliverability is important, then Postmark is king. I've used all sorts of providers, with dedicated IPs and without. Postmark has always had the best deliverability and has resulted in the least amount of customer service time wasted dealing with users who simply did not receive an important email from us. It is pricier than other options, but it's well worth it if deliverability is at all important to you.
