Best for sending, receiving and testing mail on one account
Maileroo is an SMTP relay and email API that also handles inbound mail and test inboxes, from $10 a month for 25,000 emails. The free plan has 3,000 outbound emails, but a dedicated IP starts at $72 a month and the price climbs fast after that.
Who Maileroo is for
- Fits if you want to send and receive mail through one account
- Works for developers who want test inboxes next to their sending
Who Maileroo is not for
- Skip it if you need a dedicated IP below $72 a month, as lower plans use shared IPs
- Tight if you stay free, with inbound capped at 1,000 and test emails at 100 a month
- Watch out: prices on the page are monthly and no yearly option is shown
- Watch out: Maileroo Verify is separate, at $0.03 per successful check plus the channel fee

Keep Maileroo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Maileroo you would be making mail servers with a good name among inbox providers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $120 a year.
What you could not
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Maileroo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
