As the world's largest email sender, SparkPost enables businesses of all sizes to predict and optimize email performance by unifying deliverability analytics, email delivery and a vast data footprint.
Mailtrap is primarily geared toward developers but can also be used by QAs, managers and marketers looking to control their entire email infrastructure with just one feature-packed platform.
Overall it has tied into our system great, and we have only had a few minor issues. And the nonprofit pricing is great.
They responded 6 months latter with wrong information delaying more and more the payment, but then they cut the service. It is the worse service I have ever received.
The Sparkpost team is clearly committed to improving their product, and they care about their customers. For anyone who's happy to use the API for configuration, using Sparkpost is a no-brainer.
Their response: "I'm sorry to hear you are still unable to pass the system's address verification. We have the address verification in place to prevent fraudulent charges. A bureaucratic nightmare.
SparkPost is, in theory a very nice and slick email delivery service. They offer a fair amount of free emails each month.
The product is getting worse while the prices are going up. And if they lied about past agreements, they're likely to do it again.
I appreciate the reliability of deliverability for these critical messages. I prefer to offload the responsibility of sending email from my web servers so they can do the job of hosting.
We do tend to go to spam a lot and when looking at Sparkpost, the lingo is very confusing unless you have someone who understands code.
What impresses us most about Mailtrap is its commitment to data clarity. It offers in-depth weekly summaries that help track everything properly and give us valuable insights.
A bit of trouble was while verifying our domain due to an issue with the provider, not the service itself.
One of the top advantages of this service is the ability to access email content Post-Dispatch. Not just the simple text but also the intricate details like HTML and RAW data.
The restricted storage space for test emails can become quickly filled, making it challenging to retain and reference a large number of test emails.
It’s performance and reliability have exceeded my expectations, and i am more than satisfied with it’s overall functionality.
A slight disappointment was that higher-tier plans, including the business plan, did not offera free trial period.
The rapid integration was a key win for us, especially given the volume of emails we deal with. Getting up and running swiftly was a must, and Mailtrap delivered on that front.
One downside I've noted is that the email address for the inbox is not accessible to users onlower-tier plans.
