I've personally been using Mailjet. Good interface for both transac & marketing email. Bought it on www.secret-saas.com to save money!

Nice sheet, Vanina. Could you please add Pepipost to this comparison sheet: pepipost-4odu2rou To give you a brief, Pepipost is an AI powered email delivery platform who not only gives a high inbox deliverability. But also reward the good senders by not charging them anything for the opened emails.

The email provides us with the system of mail jet and send grid which is some important technical features in the market these days, I took the support of AOL tech Support to deal with these systems of emailing, this helped me know much about the ways to deal with the transactions on email.

So far my experience is extremely ignorant, lazy and helpless first line support basically doing nothing. One ticket resolving takes more than 1 week!
arda on 2017-08-22 11:13:57
Thanks for the list! I had heard of most of them, but some were completely new. I have been using proofy.io for about a year now and I would recommend their service.
Rob J on 2017-07-11 10:05:09
Have had a good experience with Send in Blue. Just waiting for them to develop multi-user login. Fingers crossed!

commented on Elastic Email
One day, they simply disabled our account because of some user complaints. Without getting to details. They did it twice. First time I we agreed emails are ok and "you are welcome to use elastic emails". In three weeks (or so) on monday ElasticEmail welcomed me with "You account permanently disabled" sign. Great! adoconnection@gmail.com – thats my mail. I hope you ll be bancrupt damn elasticemail.
