Elastic Email vs Mailganer (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Elastic Email if

• Fits if you send about 50,000 emails a month and your app doesn't need webhooks
• Works for agencies reselling email under their own brand, which needs Pro at $49

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your app needs bounce webhooks or inbound email on Starter, as both start with Pro at $49
• Tight if you need more than 3 days of logs, which is all Free and Starter keep
• Watch out: the free plan stops at 100 emails a day, even though it allows 3,000 a month
• Not for you if you want newsletters on the same account, as Email Marketing is separate and priced by contacts
• Pricey if you need a private IP, an add-on at $40 or $50 a month

Pick Mailganer if

• Fits if your list is under 500 contacts and you want it free
• Works for teams that want SMTP, campaigns and validation from one vendor

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a clear price, because the calculator figures differ between versions of the page
• Tight if your list grows past 500 contacts, which ends the free tier
• Watch out: email validation is $0.0054 per address up to 10,000, billed on top
• Watch out: online store triggers are priced by site sessions, $34 a month up to 25,000
• Pricey if you need the Special plan, which the vendor aims at bases above 200,000

Elastic Email

• A private IP is an add-on at $40 or $50 a month, depending on the plan.

Mailganer

• The pricing page computes plan prices with a calculator, and the figures differ between the plain page and the rendered page, so no plan price is recorded here.

• Email validation costs $0.0054 per address up to 10,000 and product recommendations and subscriber validation are not part of the paid tariff.
