Why Switch to Maileroo?Why Switch to Maileroo?
Mailgun is built for transactional email. Maileroo gives you the same sending power in a platform that feels easier to set up, easier to manage, and easier to scale.
Mailgun charges $59 per month per dedicated IP, only available on Scale plans at $90/mo. Maileroo includes dedicated IPs on higher-volume plans at no extra cost.
Mailgun removed its permanent free tier. You get 5,000 emails in your first month, then nothing. Maileroo gives you 3,000 free emails every month, no card required.
Mailgun gates SAML SSO behind Scale plans at $90/mo. Maileroo includes SAML SSO, scoped API keys, and SMTP credential IP restrictions on all plans.
Maileroo's sending IPs sit on the Certified Senders Alliance whitelist for better inbox placement at 35+ European mailbox providers. Mailgun is not CSA certified.
Maileroo runs infrastructure across Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and France with full GDPR compliance. Choose where your data lives without enterprise contracts.
Mailgun does not break down delivery by recipient country. Maileroo shows you exactly where your emails land, country by country, so you can spot regional deliverability issues.
Why MailerooWhy Teams Choose Maileroo Over Mailgun
Simple setup from day one. Maileroo keeps the dashboard clear, so you can get from signup to sending without fighting the interface.
Maileroo sends from its own RIPE-registered IPv4 blocks, not rented pools shared with whoever signed up yesterday. Your reputation is ours to protect, so we protect it.
CSA membership means our sending practices are audited against the standard European mailbox providers trust. It is not a badge you can buy on the way to launch.
No reselling someone else's API with a dashboard on top. We run our own MTAs on our own hardware, which is why we can fix a delivery problem instead of filing a ticket with an upstream provider.
Full event timeline per message, from accepted to delivered, bounced or opened, plus the raw SMTP response the receiving server actually gave us. When Microsoft defers you, you see why.
At-least-once delivery with retries and per-endpoint backoff. Your billing system finds out about that hard bounce even if your server was down when it happened.

"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."
