The Mailgun alternative that gives you more email for less money

Same REST API and SMTP relay developers already know, but Elastic Email includes more sending volume, built-in email verification, and template tools at every price point, so you're not paying extra to scale.

Why developers are switching to Elastic Email

More volume per dollar

50,000 emails a month cost $19 on Elastic Email's Starter plan. Reaching the same volume on Mailgun means moving up to the $35/mo Foundation plan - almost double the price for the same count.

Verification without additional costs

Single and bulk email verification are included in both Starter and Pro plans. On Mailgun, validation is a paid add-on unless you're paying $90/mo for Scale, which includes just 5,000 checks.

One API for transactional and bulk sends

The same REST API and SMTP relay handle password resets and newsletters alike, with a template gallery and AI-assisted design included, so you're not reaching for a second tool for marketing sends.

Where Elastic Email pulls ahead

The features that come standard on Elastic Email instead of sitting behind a paywall, an add-on fee, or a support ticket.

Email API & SMTP relay

Send transactional and bulk email through the same REST API or SMTP relay with support for attachments and SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication available on every plan, including Free. That means password resets, order confirmations, and newsletter sends can all run through one integration instead of stitching together separate tools for transactional and marketing mail.

Suppression management

Suppressions gather every address excluded from sending due to a confirmed deliverability issue - unsubscribes, hard bounces, complaints - in one place, with the reason for each listed. Since API plans don't include contact management, this is what keeps you from sending to an address that's already opted out or bounced.

Try Our API

Authentication & Private IP's

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation come standard on every plan, so your domain reputation is protected from the first email you send. When you're ready for more control, optional private IPs with automated warm-up (from $40/mo) let you build and manage your own sending reputation instead of sharing infrastructure with other senders.

Create Your Account

Reseller & white-label tools

On the Pro plan, CNAME hosting, white-labeled SMTP and API endpoints, and subaccounts let agencies and platforms resell email sending entirely under their own brand. As a result, clients never need to know Elastic Email is powering the infrastructure underneath.

24/7 support - human and free, from day one

Every plan includes free 24/7 support by email and in-app chat. Unlike in Mailgun, there's no ticket queue and chat support reserved for higher tiers. Additionally, when you need faster help, the Dedicated Support add-on prioritizes your queue and gives you direct access to delivery experts for technical advice.
