SMTP Relay & Email API
Two ways in. Drop our SMTP credentials into any app, or call the Email API directly. Both take minutes, both just work.
Mandrill AlternativeSkip Mailchimp.
Just Send Email.
Mandrill requires an active Mailchimp subscription before it sends a single email. Maileroo doesn't. Send over SMTP or API, watch every message land, and start with 3,000 free emails a month.
No Mailchimp required. No add-on paperwork. Just an API, an SMTP relay, and the analytics to back up every send.

Why Use Maileroo?Why Make the Switch?
Every plan gets the full toolkit. Dedicated IPs, per message logs, webhooks, and a human on support are included from the first email, not locked behind a tier or a Mailchimp subscription. Point your domain at us and you are sending in minutes.
Free Dedicated IPs
Mandrill charges $29.95 a month per IP. We don't charge at all. Your reputation stays yours, isolated from every other sender, on every plan.
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.
SAML SSO and Roles
Access lives in your identity provider. Offboard someone there and they lose Maileroo too, with per user roles for everyone still in.
CSA Certified
Our sending IPs sit on the Certified Senders Alliance whitelist, which means better inbox placement at German and European mailbox providers.
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.
We Own Our IP Space
Our /24 ranges are registered to us, not leased from a provider. That means the reputation we build stays with us, and your sending isn't affected by whoever shared that space last year.
Why Make the SwitchBlocks, Add-Ons, Per-IP Fees.
Leave Them Behind.
Mandrill sells email by the block, 25,000 at a time, and none of it works until Mailchimp is on your card. Add a dedicated IP and the meter starts again: $29.95, every month, per IP. Maileroo is one price a month, dedicated IPs included past 250k.
A Few Lines of Code and You're Sending
Mandrill's API works. Getting an account that can use it doesn't: subscribe to Mailchimp, buy a block, then configure a domain. Maileroo skips two of those three steps.
Grab an API key or SMTP credentials and go. Order confirmations, password resets, whatever your app needs to say, delivered in about five minutes from a cold start.
3,000 free emails a month. No card on file.
Try the Dashboard
Priced Per Month, Not Per Block
Run the math on Mandrill and the real floor is closer to $40 a month: Mailchimp Standard plus one block of 25,000 emails. Ours starts at $10. That's the whole bill.
Dedicated IPs come free past 250k emails instead of $29.95 apiece. Analytics, suppressions, webhooks: included, even on the plan that costs nothing.
Support's included too, staffed by people who actually run the servers.

"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!"

"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."
