Why Make the SwitchLess Clutter. More Clarity.
Maileroo is built for teams that want email delivery to feel easier, not like another platform they have to wrestle with. You can get set up quickly, see what happens after each send, and get help from people who understand email when something needs attention.
Built for Email,
Not Platform Complexity
As a marketing partner, you can’t fault Brevo as a platform that caters to growing businesses, and with its operation in the email delivery scene it also holds a strong position amongst the industry. However, with Maileroo it is a full out of the box solution, giving businesses and developers full control of every sending environment they configure whether that is domain based or application based.
Brevo offers an interesting pricing model which offers a tiered experience such as ‘Starter’ plans gatekeeping certain features from you, and even charging you a monthly fee to remove their logo from your emails. At Maileroo, our approach is simple, everything we build is built on the feedback of our users and accessible without tiers, your own sending environments, your own branding, your controls in the way you intend them.
Backed by 99.90% uptime SLA guarantee, EU data residency and infrastructure and IPs we own.

Core FeaturesEverything You Need to Send, Track, and Optimize Your Emails
Send with confidence, track every message as it moves, and tune your performance. One platform, built developer-first. And deliverability? We fine-tune it obsessively behind the scenes, so your emails land where they should.
Real-Time Logging
Sent, delivered, opened, clicked: watch every event the moment it happens. When something breaks, the logs tell you why.
Statistics & Analytics
Open rates, click rates, bounces, complaints. The numbers you need to sharpen your sending, all in one dashboard.
Webhooks
Push bounces, opens, clicks, and deliveries straight into your application the instant they happen. Your app stays in sync without polling.
Branded Tracking Links
Put tracking links on your own domain. Better brand consistency, better deliverability. SSL is provisioned for you, and setup takes one click.
Inbound Routing
Retire the no-reply address. Replies land in your inbox, routed by Maileroo, so real conversations can happen.
Why Use Maileroo?Why People Move to Maileroo
You're sending within ten minutes of connecting your domain. After that you get per message tracking, opens, clicks, bounces and deferrals, suppression handling that runs on its own, and an engineer to ask when placement drops.
CSA Certified
Our sending IPs sit on the Certified Senders Alliance whitelist, which means better inbox placement at German and European mailbox providers.
Dedicated IPs
Included from 250k emails a month, with no per-IP monthly fee on top. Your reputation stays yours, isolated from every other sender.
Know What Happened to Every Email
Opens, clicks, bounces, and deferrals per message, live. Drill from the chart to the individual send when a customer says they never got it.
Collaborators and SAML SSO
Invite your team with roles that fit what they actually do, and connect SAML so access lives in your identity provider. Offboard someone there and they lose Maileroo too.
Scoped Credentials
A separate SMTP or API key per app and per environment. A leaked staging key can't touch production, and revoking one doesn't stop everything else.
Inbound Routing
Point an MX record at us and receive email as well as send it. Parsed messages land on your endpoint, ready to use.

"I love it as an SMTP service for transactional emails. The app is fast, easy to understand and fully featured, but not overwhelming, and email delivery is super fast and reliable. Just perfect! Every time I needed to request a feature or inquire about something with the team, they responded quickly and satisfactorily, both in their Discord channel and via email."

"I have been a Maileroo customer for almost 2 years now and I am very satisfied: Sending emails is super fast and reliable. The support is great and fast (usually within 1 hour). The interface is functional yet easy to use. You pay much less at Maileroo than at other providers without compromising on quality. In short, a great company to work with as an agency!"
Olaf Lederer

"Using Maileroo for half a year now. Api and its documentation is simple, straightforward and just works. What truly makes the difference is the fast, personal support. Support is always quick to respond and to find a solution. Requests or suggestions are taken seriously and often translated into practical improvements. That level of personal involvement and service is rare and makes Maileroo a solution I can confidently recommend. Experience with mailgun, mailjet, sendgrid, resend and Maileroo takes the cake."
