Why Make the SwitchBuilt for Mail That Can't Wait

Designed to Scale
SMTP.com is an exceptional provider that has been around for quite some time and boasts an uptime of 99.99% which by industry standards is fantastic. Maileroo is a modern email delivery platform that tailors its systems to developers looking for not just a system that sends, but a full eco-system of tools to test, route and define policies within isolated sending environments.
We believe in making a system that you can just plug into your production environments without having to worry about additional random or hidden costs. SMTP.com provide you additional tools at costs that scale with your plan such as their Reputation Defender which at its core is a suppression handling system that charges you an additional 20% of your plan, in which Maileroo offers as a core service across all plans at no additional costs.
We back our systems with 99.90% uptime SLA, data residency in the EU with GDPR compliance and a fully redundant infrastructure setup at its core to ensure we keep your emails sending.

SMTP.com provides reliable deliverability and proactive reputation management, whilst Maileroo is built for serious senders who wish to scale their environments with included suppression handling, isolated sending environments, inbound routing, user defined security policies and more.
We offer predictable pricing models, with no overage fees as we include an additional 12% buffer to your monthly plans for free to accommodate for spikes in sending. With available technical expertise via live-chat and email, we provide support to all and don't lock it behind premium tiers or higher-priced plans. Whether you're on our free plan or sending millions of emails a month, your first point of contact is always a technical person ready to help, and when we're offline, our AI assistant Joey is on hand, trained on our documentation and technical guides to answer your questions and even provide code for your integration.

"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."
