The email allowance is shared across all three. - **SMTP relay, REST API and SDKs:** Official SDKs are listed for Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, Java, .NET, Rust and Elixir, plus a CLI, an MCP server and batch sending of up to 500 emails per API call. - **Managed IP pools:** Mail goes out from warmed-up shared IP pools, with transactional email and newsletters on separate pools. Dedicated IPs are a Pro add-on. - **Spend limits and suppression:** A monthly cap pauses sending instead of billing overage, and a suppression list blocks bounced and unsubscribed addresses. - **Sandbox mode:** Test content, delivery handling and webhooks on a project without sending to real recipients. ## Good for - Developers who want email data kept in the EU - Small apps that fit in 10,000 emails a month - Agencies that need many sending domains on a flat plan ## Worth knowing - Prices are in euros; the pricing page says billing is in euros. - The free plan stops at 300 emails a month, 1 domain and 1 user. - A dedicated IP is a €50 a month add-on, available only to Pro customers, from 300,000 emails a month. - Written SLAs and bring-your-own-IP are for enterprise customers on Pro. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026.

It costs $134.06 a year. - You could not: Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Laravel, Symfony Mailer and WordPress among them, and has an API. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
