Why Make the SwitchWhy developers switch from Resend to Maileroo
Tired of email platforms that feel like a pretty wrapper around AWS SES? Maileroo is built by people who live and breathe email. We run our own infrastructure, keep setup clear, and give you hands-on support whenever you need it. Created by developers for developers, Maileroo makes integration feel straightforward.
Predictable, Transparent Pricing
Plans start at $10 a month. We hold that price by running our own hardware instead of reselling AWS, so there is no middleman markup as your volume climbs.
Dedicated IP Addresses at No Extra Cost
Pass 250,000 emails a month and a dedicated IP is included, not upsold. Your reputation stays out of the shared pool and inbox placement holds steady.
Real-Time Event Logging
Deliveries, opens, clicks, and bounces land in the log the moment they happen, searchable for 14 days. When something breaks, the event trail shows you why.
Integration in Under Five Minutes
Drop in the SMTP credentials or call the API. Most apps send a first email in about five minutes, and the docs assume you have a backlog, not a free afternoon.
Unified Email Platform
SMTP relay, REST API, inbound routing, webhooks, analytics, testing tools and suppression management live in one dashboard. You get a single view of every email without stitching separate tools together.
Granular Access Controls
Restrict SMTP access by IP or domain and scope each credential to what it needs. You can even control what access your team-members have inside your sending environments too. The controls are built in, so tightening security never means a migration.
Visibility and SupportWhen Email Breaks, You Reach an Engineer
Pricing starts at $10 a month and stays flat as volume grows. Support is staffed by engineers who have shipped production email and read your logs before they reply.
Bootstrapped and
Independent by Design
Resend is backed by venture funding, known in the community for its React Email and its user-friendly dashboard. It is a genuinely strong product wrapped behind the AWS SES infrastructure for sending that gives it a trusting position in the industry.
Maileroo is a completely bootstrapped startup, founded and operated by Patrick Yammouni and Areeb Majeed. Both come from development backgrounds and have built the infrastructure, product, and support system from the ground up with every feature you see shipped because a customer asked for it, not because it fit a roadmap set by outside investors.
That difference shows up in two concrete places of where your data lives, and how fast you get a real answer when something breaks. Resend stores account data, metadata, and logs in the United States. Maileroo stores everything inside the European Union which matters if GDPR data residency is a requirement for your business, not just a preference.

Real Engineers,
Seven Days a Week
Resend's support window runs 1 PM to 12 AM GMT, Monday to Friday. Maileroo's runs 9 AM to 9 PM AEST, seven days a week, including weekends, when production issues don't wait for business hours.
We publish our actual response times because we track them: 33 minutes average first response by email, 12 minutes average on live chat, and 1.5 hours average to full resolution.
Every conversation, whether email or live chat, is handled by a technical engineer, not a first-line support rep reading from a script. When we're offline, Joey AI is trained specifically on email infrastructure and deliverability, so you're not stuck waiting until morning for a routing or DNS question.
Maileroo has one of the largest catalogues of email testing tools that help you test nearly every aspect of your email delivery and infrastructure to ensure that you are getting the best out of your email system. When we say we support you in your emailing journey, we absolutely mean it.

Migrating From
Resend to Maileroo
At Maileroo, we promote an uptime SLA guarantee of 99.9% whilst Resend does not publish one alongside its status page for those under their enterprise plan. Whilst we both have our server uptimes publically available, we also engineer our infrastructure around a redundant setup to ensure that your emails are delivered.
Resend has a larger catalog of community-maintained SDKs across more languages. Maileroo currently ships 6 official SDKs, with community-built libraries growing alongside them with fewer options today than Resend, but each one maintained directly by our own engineering team rather than the community alone.
Switching over from Resend to Maileroo can be done in 60 seconds if using SMTP credentials or in minutes if using our email API. We provide you with ready-to-paste code snippets that you can use to migrate once you have added and verified your domain with us.

"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."
