Clients don't complain about it, so we're content. > > Our experience continues to be fantastic, and we continue to recommend Mailgun to clients who need SMTP services. Pricing is still very affordable, and service beats competitors that we're recommending clients migrate to Mailgun from. ----- ### "A great mail delivery service that just works\!" — 5.0/5 > **Vikas** | *14 March 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you know your way around DNS records, Mailgun is remarkably easy to set up and just works\! > > **Cons**: The pricing can go up significantly after the free tier (but at least they have a free tier) > > My overall experience with Mailgun has been positive and is boosted through their integration with Web Hosting Providers especially xCloud. ----- ### "Disastrous service — avoid at all costs" — 1.0/5 > **François** | *2 September 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The only good thing was being grandfathered into their retired Flex plan, but even that couldn’t make up for their disastrous service. > > **Cons**: Their automated system falsely flagged my SaaS, disabling all transactional emails without warning. Support was extremely slow making Mailgun completely unreliable for any business. > > After years of using Mailgun for legitimate transactional emails only, they suddenly disabled my account without warning because of a flawed automated system. This caused immediate chaos for my SaaS, as transactional emails are mission-critical. I switched providers within 24 hours but kept communicating with Mailgun support out how long they would take to restore the service. It took them 8 days before reactivation. Completely unacceptable. No serious SaaS can rely on a provider that pulls the plug without notice. The new service is superior in every aspect: deliverability, UI, and reporting. MThanks to Mailgun for pushing me to move. ----- ### "A user friendly and efficient tool for email testing" — 5.0/5 > **Pablo** | *15 October 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Mailgun is how easy it is to use and set up. The interface is intuitive, and the email tracking and validation features make testing and troubleshooting very straightforward. It’s a great tool for QA work and for ensuring that emails are being sent and received correctly. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Mailgun is that some advanced settings and logs are not immediately visible or easy to find across different domains. It takes a bit of navigation to locate specific details when troubleshooting. > > My experience with Mailgun has been very positive. As a QA, I need to perform different validations related to email sending with Mailgun, and this is really easy to do, even though it was my first time using this type of platform. Its user-friendly interface was very helpful to me. ----- ### "Best for integrations" — 5.0/5 > **Gary** | *23 October 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Getting started is relatively easy, you have to setup what you have for this type of service, There are guides to accomplish most of things, and dev platforms are mostly pre loaded with mailgun integrations, which is a huge win > > **Cons**: Prices are really good, as long as you "stay in your tier" It have happened a couple of times, we go way beyond our limit but also way below the next tier of pricing and the charges are easily 10X > > I'm more than satisfied with mailgun as platform, I've used easily a dozen, and It's the one I've stayed with to integrate with software or other platfors for sure. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/419700/mailgun?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/419700/mailgun) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
