### "The best email platform I have ever used"

July 16, 2026

5.0

I discovered Mailrelay after Sendgrid decided to waste all Legacy users. I had all my websites and projects there and was desperate to find a proper platform that suits my needs (both for small projects with free subs and for bigger ones with paid but more balanced plans). Mailrelay was the perfect match to be honest. In the past year that I have been using them the deliverability, tracking and features have been really superb.

Pros

Great technology, user interface, features (they keep adding new ones every week!), amazing balance between quality/price, with proper options for free users but great incentives to move to a paid/prepaid plans. I have been using other email platforms for many years and this is by far the best one.

Cons

The only cons is not being aware of their existence before. With so much noise in social media and websites it was difficult to discover them. But I'm glad I finally made it.

### "Mailrelay is the best option for freelances and small companies"

July 27, 2026

5.0

Pros

The free tier is big enough to experiment and it covers almost all my needs: automations, WordPress integration, etc.

Cons

Sometimes is a bit tricky and the interface is not as responsive as I'd like. I've experienced some issues when I've used it from my cell

### "There are better alternatives, but the free tier makes it a good choice"

February 5, 2019

3.0

The ability to send email marketing campaigns with 0 budget was the main point of using Mailrelay. This is the main reason why I would recommend Mailrelay.

Pros

Mailrelay's free tier is so high, that it's likely that you won't paid for the service until you really grow up - and even then, its pricing is really cheap. Also, it has a ton of learning material and their support service is helpful. Watch out for their blog and their onboarding emails, they deliver a lot of useful tips and tricks. What I like the most about their blog, is that they don't only focus on giving advice on email marketing topics, they also cover digital marketing in general. Speaking more about the app, I think it's important to remark an interesting technology that they have: some time ago, they implemented "Smart Delivery", a feature that sends the emails first to the most active customers, making sure that your IP reputation is the highest possible.

Cons

Features and design-wise, their competitors are far more advanced. It's UI/UX is really old, and makes navigation a bit hard. And the automation features are quite limited compared on other big players on the market. But I have heard that they are working on this, so we probably will have more advanced marketing features soon.

### "A Professional, Reliable, and Powerful Email Marketing Platform"

July 16, 2026

5.0

My overall experience has been excellent. Mailrelay has been reliable, fast, and easy to use from day one. Every feature I needed was available, and I never felt limited by the platform. It has made managing email campaigns much easier, and I would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a professional email marketing solution.

Pros

Mailrelay is simple, professional, and surprisingly powerful. The interface is easy to understand, yet it includes all the features I need for email marketing. Setup was quick, performance is reliable, and it offers excellent value for both beginners and experienced users.

Cons

Honestly, I haven’t found any significant drawbacks so far. It covers everything I need, works reliably, and the interface is clean and intuitive. If I had to mention something, I would only like to see even more advanced automation templates in future updates.

### "Excellent support and great pricing"

August 11, 2026

5.0

Pros

Excellent support, and the affordable pricing, whenever we encountered an issue with their system, their support was keen enough to help us through and resolve it for us and apart from that their pricing is unmatched at the moment.

Cons

Apparantly it's a new platform and they are constantly improving, some features such as contact import has the potential to improve.

### "Mailrelay experience"

September 1, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Mailrelay has been very positive. The platform is easy to use, reliable, and offers all the tools we need for our email marketing campaigns. What has stood out most is the quality and responsiveness of the customer support. When we experienced an email delivery issue related to a shared sending IP, the support team reacted quickly, explained the problem clearly, and moved us to a high-reputation IP at no additional cost. Their professionalism and willingness to help have given us confidence in continuing to use Mailrelay.

Pros

What I liked most about Mailrelay was the excellent and fast customer support. They quickly identified an issue with the shared sending IP, explained the situation clearly, and moved our account to a high-reputation IP at no additional cost. Their technical assistance was professional, efficient, and very helpful.

Cons

The main issue we experienced was related to the reputation of the shared sending IP, which caused some emails to be rejected by recipient servers and generated a significant number of soft bounces. However, the support team responded quickly and took effective action to resolve the problem.

### "The Perfect Partner for Your Email Marketing"

August 19, 2026

5.0

Overall, Mailrelay is easy to use, and their support team resolves any issues quickly. The pricing is also reasonable.

Pros

The templates are easy to use and make creating email campaigns quick and simple. I also appreciate how easy it is to contact Mailrelay’s support team whenever I need help.

Cons

I haven’t found any significant drawbacks so far. The platform meets my needs, is easy to use, and the support team has always been helpful whenever I have had a question or issue.

### "Very good experience"

August 21, 2026

5.0

Very good experience with them, once I set up everything I could start sending emails to my audience. 100% recommended.

Pros

The support that they focus to solve your problems with the platform and that I can send emails with easyness. The UI I like it.

Cons

Maybe that I can't customize more the landing page, and that's all in fact. Nothing else to be honest.

### "Useful email templates for newsletters"

July 20, 2026

4.0

It's a good platform to give your content a modern look with simple means.

Pros

Our teem chose Mailrelay because of its simplicity and ease of use. So far, this program meets our modest requirements well – once a month we send out a newsletter to our mailing list members (a short information about upcoming events, when and what is planned). We find Mailrelay's ability to add links to a specific section of our website (tour descriptions, calendar, or ticket purchase) very useful.

Cons

The issue we had to deal with – writing dates in the text – when publishing Mailrelay turns this "number row" into an active link. That's why we write the names of the months in words.

### "Cheap, but not great Email campaign service"

August 10, 2017

2.0

Pros

It is cheaper than Mailchimp, and as it is an Spanish company, most of the software was already translated in spanish.

Cons

UX and user interface are poorly designed and difficult to use. Also our spam ratio grew a bit when using the service. And, ironically, we were constantly sent not email marketing newsletters from the company, which were not that useful.

Response from Mailrelay

August 10, 2017

Hi Luis! Your account doesn't have some necessary technical configurations implemented, as for example SPF. That would explain the increased SPAM ratio, as those configurations are really required when working with email marketing. Please contact our support team which will be very happy to help. Regards, Mailrelay team.

### "Fantastic Service!!!"

September 27, 2016

5.0

Mailrelay is so easy to set up and to use, the UI is so intuitive. If you have a problem just email them and they respond very quickly (I've never waited for more than 2 hours!). There are so many features that you would pay for with other services but, unbelievably, this is FREE! Amazing! I've recommended this service to so many people.

Pros

Easy to use, easy to set up and free!

Cons

Nothing really, just minor things, like it always defaults to Spanish and that the default time is Spanish time, but you get use to it.

### "Great, but not for me"

March 29, 2023

4.0

Pros

The free offer is awesome. 80000 mails/month and 20000 contacts is simply unbeatable, as far as I know. A great way to start for free.

Cons

I simply couldn't make it work. I had all kind of delivery problems and many of the emails didn't get to inbox. I was fairly inexperienced at the moment, so it was probably because I didn't setup everything properly. Customer support tried to help, but after a couple of weeks of mails going and coming I gave up and tried with another tool.If you are experienced and can make sure all the configurations are fine, it may be a good tool for you

### "Great For Email Marketing"

September 28, 2016

5.0

My company is just a small to medium size business. I've tried numbers of email marketing software including those installed on my server (open-source), I think MailRelay is the best for small to medium size businesses.

Pros

The User Interface

Cons

Perhaps, they should add more email or newsletter templates.

### "Hit and Miss"

January 19, 2019

3.0

Not very satisfied overall

Pros

Creating templates, emails and generating campaigns is good

Cons

We initially used this for creating email campaigns but this has the added load of using an email server. It is not an all in one program. Paying for just creating campaigns in todays date makes no sense when there are 1oo\`s of other players who offer the same for free

When I heard about mailrelay offering free mass mail and autoreponder, i was elated. Finally I can send my newsletter and reach out to as many people as I can. The UI was easy to navigate and has superb tools to create newsletter and relevant statistical data to know your newsletter status. This is one great mass emailer.. Cheers to you.

Pros

Great UI, easy to navigate, user friendly, relevant statistical data. sufficient monthly quota.

Cons

need more tools to create customized newsletter. Do not have available codes to enhance the look of newsletter.
