Ability to clean database lists to minimize bounce. However, the BEST part is they are free up to 10,000 emails a month, which is a ton\! So to give the full custom power of connecting your domain and sending out, that's a huge value. I will get over that limit and upgrade soon, but that is an incredible way to start a relationship. Almost a year of free service to use their system versus my server. > > **Cons**: I actually have not found anything that I do not like. Many will complain about high bounce rates or going into spam. I find that issue arrises on multiple factors outside of mailgun control, such as the receiving server, and the mail habits of the person opening it, do they get a bunch of spammy mail already? And was the mail piece written in a poor nature, this increases spam folder direction, however, they do have dedicated IP service for those wanting to mitigate one area of cause for spam direction. Again, never been my experience. > > Super pleasant, great chat support, fast email support replies, always quick to help and communicate. ----- ### "Mailgun just does what I claims to do" — 5.0/5 > **Marcus** | *28 December 2024* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mailgun is one of those tools that simply works. As someone who uses it regularly, I appreciate its reliability and ease of integration, especially with WordPress. Setting it up is straightforward, and once configured, it takes care of email delivery without needing constant attention or troubleshooting. One of the standout aspects is how much you get with the basic plan. Features like email tracking, analytics, and solid deliverability are included, which is often more than enough for smaller projects or businesses. It’s refreshing to see such a feature-rich offering without having to upgrade right away. I also love how well Mailgun handles what it promises—emails are delivered quickly and consistently, which is crucial for ensuring important communication doesn’t end up in spam folders. You also have a pretty good overall statistic. For anyone looking for a no-fuss email solution with great value in its entry-level plan, Mailgun is a fantastic option. > > **Cons**: Some settings are difficult to find, making configuration a bit frustrating at times. Additionally, the service region selection defaults back to the US, which I always forget to change. These minor inconveniences don’t overshadow its overall performance, but they’re worth noting for users who value a seamless experience. A more intuitive settings layout and a persistent region selection would make Mailgun even better. > > Mailgun is a powerful email delivery service that excels in reliability and ease of integration, particularly with platforms like WordPress. It’s straightforward to set up and handles email delivery with minimal maintenance. I’ve been impressed by how much functionality is included in the basic plan, offering features like tracking and analytics that are often premium in other services. ----- ### "Don't use mailgun. You'll lose all you emails, customers and they don't confirm to EU compliance law" — 1.0/5 > **Niels** | *10 November 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about mailgun is that you move away from it very easily. Just close your account and don't look back > > **Cons**: I didn't like how mailgun disable our account (with over 25 active applications/domains and hundreds of users) and didn't tell use why for over 3 days. > > We're a paying mailgun customer for over 10 years. Until mails stopped going out. After logging in, there was an error that says 'account disabled' with no further information. It took 24 hours for customer support to respond and tell us there was a security problem with our account, but we were left on our own to figure out what was going on and how to solve it. All in all it took over a week to get our accounts back. By that time, we had migrated away to better, cheaper and more reliable alternatives. ----- ### "Seamless integration" — 5.0/5 > **Letha** | *4 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mailgun is working seamlessly with my custom portals business. The learning curve is pretty quick if you already understand DNS, Webhooks and APIs but if you don't Mailgun has plenty of instructions. > > **Cons**: I don't have a dislike - it has worked perfectly. I tried a newer platform and it did not have all features as promoted. MailGun is the original best. ----- ### "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. ----- 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
