SMTP2GO report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for relaying email from apps, sites and office printers
SMTP2GO is a straightforward relay: point your app, website or even the office printer at it and it sends, with SPF and DKIM set up for you and data centers in the US, Europe and Australia. 50,000 emails is $30 a month, with two months free if you pay yearly. There's nothing on record for receiving email, though, and the free plan stops at 1,000 a month.
Who SMTP2GO is for
- Great if your office printers, scanners or old systems need somewhere to send mail from
- Handy when you look after email for several clients and want subaccounts
- Good for schools, which get 30% off on its education page
Who SMTP2GO is not for
- Not for you if your app needs to receive and read incoming email
- Tight if you're staying free, at 1,000 emails a month and 200 a day
- Skip it if you only have a Gmail or Yahoo address to sign up with
Why SMTP2GO gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyGraded on 50,000 emails a month: Starter is $30 a month at that volume, with two months free if you pay yearly. That sits in the middle of what this category charges for that much sending. A dedicated IP and email testing need Professional at $75.
- CFree plan and trialFree for good with no card: 1,000 emails a month, but only 200 a day, with 5 days of reports, and extra emails can't be bought. Chat and phone help last 14 days. Fine for a test, tight for a live app.
- CFeaturesAPI and SMTP sending, automatic SPF and DKIM, delivery reports with bounce alerts, blacklist monitoring, three data regions and subaccounts. It does the sending job fully, but that's a smaller job: nothing on record covers receiving email or templates.
- CEase of useJudged on how fast a developer sends a first email: copy the SMTP details or use the API, with code examples in five languages, once your domain is added. No rating on record. Sign-up refuses Gmail and Yahoo addresses, so you need a work domain.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with an SMTP relay and REST API that work from apps, servers and devices, plus WordPress, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, WHMCS, Laravel and Django. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top.

Keep SMTP2GO, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SMTP2GO 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 9 of the 11 other email sending services grade higher. It costs $180 a year.
What you could not
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Google Workspace and Salesforce among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. SMTP2GO’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.
