Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rock solid service, great support" October 9, 2025 5.0 Very very easy. Its nice to work with people who understand the RFC's related to smtp. Also the number of outages smtp2go has had is effectively zero. My clients' perception of email delivery is that it's 100% bullet proof, and this is partly due to smtp2go's staff and service. Pros Easy to set up, very very stable, staff are available and very fast to work on tickets when something is going wrong. Log levels are good (critical to determine what when wrong and who's issue (sender or receiver) it is). Interface is good, security is good. Costs are very reasonable. Cons I use smtp2go for multiple customers, and i'm passing on the costs, but for the customer it can initially feel a bit like range anxiety when they don't know how much their spend is going to be, especially when they are coming off a "free" service (usually provided by their ISP). Its important to educate the customer on how crappy the "free" service is. The customer wouldn't be moving to a paid service if the free service wasn't crappy, and in my experience no ISP can or has offered what dedicated services like smtp2go can offer.

Admin Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Experience on SMTP" October 18, 2025 5.0 I'm sending emails from 3 years by using SMTP2GO, I got each support & help from the support team & also got 95% or more inbox ratio. Pros Email inbox ratio is really high & easy to access the SMTP for email sending. I can also use different user for different domain with high delivering ratio. Cons Someone tried to use my SMTP user to access it. In security it should detected automatically and block them. Review Source Response from SMTP2GO November 11, 2025 Thanks so much for the positive review! mV mark V. EVP Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product, very reliable!" October 17, 2025 5.0 Overall I am very happy with smtp2go and would recommend them to other users. The product is reliable and offers great troubleshooting tools. Pros The interface is smooth and easy to use. I like the reports and how easy it was to find specific emails. Great for troubleshooting. Cons It did take me a bit of time to understand the smtp lingo. Sometimes emails bounced but I couldn't quite tell why. Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) SMTP2GO offered more flexibility and was easier to program for relays. Review Source Response from SMTP2GO November 11, 2025 Thanks so much for the fantastic review! If you ever need help interpreting an email bounce, just reach out. The support team is super fast and keen to assist. JB John B. Owner Computer Networking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend!" October 14, 2025 5.0 Could not be happier. It does what it is supposed to do, we use it internally and client facing and it has been outstanding. Pros Once setup, it just works. Setup is self explanatory and when you do need help, support is there every step of the way. Cons I cannot think of anything I do not like. Support is outstanding when needed, outage transparency is on point, and pricing is ideal. Review Source Response from SMTP2GO November 11, 2025 Thank you for the amazing review! We really appreciate it. :) CL Cyrille L. Boss Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We love it !" October 9, 2025 5.0 A very nice tool ! We got a lot value for money ! We use it to connect all our customer scanner and MFC and some application. It's working, it's cheap so we love it ! Pros So easy to setup, to use. Lot of possibilities. We use it to connect all our customer scanner and MFC and some application. It support SPF and DKIM so it's all good ! Cons Rarely we must wait five minutes to receive email. but it's not very often. We don't have any problem Alternatives considered [Mailgun](https://www.capterra.com/p/159630/Mailgun/) Reason for choosing SMTP2GO Inexpensive and easy to setup. Tested and adopted Review Source Response from SMTP2GO October 14, 2025 Thanks for the positive review - we really appreciate the support! DB Donald B. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SMTP from third party software" October 14, 2025 4.0 Overall very quick, user friendly and fast learning curve. I also use SMTP2GO as an addon to my clients as a free service, ensuring of email sending ease. Pros Ease of sending emails from third party applications. Ability to control who can send and can limit abusers, non paying clients Cons If one email is sent to multiple receivers, then the count to your volume is by the number of receivers, not by the number of emails sent Review Source Response from SMTP2GO November 11, 2025 Thanks for the review - we appreciate the support! It's worth noting that the number of emails sent is the same as the number of recipients as they get one email each. JA John A. Systems Admin Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SMTP2GO is Great" October 9, 2025 5.0 Very Positive, great application. It just simply works as advertised. Would buy it again and again when given the choice. Pros It simplified using modern email service using legacy applications. Made workflows from those applications work with minimal configuration. Cons I have no dislikes. It is simple and easy to use and setup. There is minimal effort in keeping it running. Review Source Response from SMTP2GO October 14, 2025 Thanks for the review - it's supposed to be a 'set and forget' sort of service, and we're super pleased to hear it's working exactly as intended. AG Alan G. DIRECTOR Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly recommended" October 14, 2025 5.0 Been using their service for quite a while now. We had tried others, but SMTP2GO was the easiest when it comes to setup and integration. Pros Reliable deliverability with clear, real-time analytics and logs, simple UI, quick and friendly support, and painless setup that scales smoothly across multiple domains. Cons None to report so far. The platform has met our expectations across deliverability, support, and ease of use. Review Source Response from SMTP2GO November 11, 2025 Thanks for the fantastic review! JD Justin D. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A no-brainer: it just works!" November 13, 2023 5.0 It's been excellent. I tried two companies, and I had an issue with deliverability to Yahoo accounts with the other one! SMPT2GO had no issues. You can have multiple websites on the account, so I gradually brought other websites over to SMTP2GO. The API is easy to understand - or if you just want to use their SMTP credentials you can do that too. I've hardly needed to contact support - and once they contacted me to let me know I needed to make a tweak to improve deliverability. Overall, SMTP gives me peace of mind, meaning I'm not worrying about whether emails are making it to my customers. Pros I needed to separate out my transactional emails from regular communications. I also needed to be absolutely sure that messages were being received. I'd never set up transactional email before and I didn't want a time-based free account to start with. SMTP2Go has a free plan for up to 1000 a month. That's perfect if it's going to take time to roll out. Overall, for me the best thing is that it 'just works'. That means I can concentrate on other aspects of the service we offer, rather than worry about emails not getting through. Cons Really nothing. I had a couple of questions, and the support was friendly and sorted it out immediately. Alternatives considered [SendGrid](https://www.capterra.com/p/204113/SendGrid/) Reason for choosing SMTP2GO The pricing for SMTP2GO was cheaper. There was also a higher threshold for test emailing. Switched from [Google Workspace](https://www.capterra.com/p/247901/Google-Workspace/) Google was fine when the website was in its infancy. However, I needed to separate out transactional emails from my company's regular emailing with customers. Review Source CE Craig E. IT Services Support Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SMTP2GO The SMTP server you want, without the headache." June 15, 2022 5.0 The service has been rock solid, so there is really nothing to report about in general other than a great, stable, and reliable service. However, their support is AMAZING! They have gone to great lengths to support even non paid customers. And I think that is fantastic! Pros SMTP2GO will give you all of the features you want, with none of the failings you'd normally expect. You can authorize, secure, and lockdown accounts, change passwords easily on all the accounts setup for smtp auth. Filtering, and setup is simple, along with all of the tracking data they give you for devices sending, or having trouble sending is excellent. Cons HP printers suck, and should burn a firey death. There is nothing wrong with SMTP2GO however, HP decided that they wanted to make life challenging for ANYONE supporting printers... Don't buy HP. One possibly flaw is the low price, though they have been around for a long time, low fees can lead to less development, however they have not dropped the ball from what I can see. Review Source Response from SMTP2GO July 1, 2022 Hi Craig, Thank you so much for writing us such an awesome review!! We love that you are so happy, especially with our support team. They rock!! :) Let us know anytime if you have any questions. Happy emailing!

Its dashboard made sure that the notifications reached customers on time. Pros SMTP2Go is the most reliable email exchange with ton of customisation and monitoring. I really like the fact that it can send emails with higher limits when compared to outlook. And it's dashboard interface with realtime user activities tracker is very useful. Cons It's features and customer support are good and consistent. But it could be improved. It could have a contact database in its server, which could make the integration better. And there is no much testing on analysing Emails. Review Source IM Ihab M. IT Infrastructure Head Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent and reliable Email delivery service " September 29, 2020 4.0 Due to the bad reputation of our public IP addresses at our ISP, there were times where we couldn't send 20 emails per day as our IPs were blacklisted by all known antispam providers. we had no choice but to rely on a smart-host like SMTP2Go. we tried similar competitors but this by far was the best. Pros if your business relies on emails and If you are looking to enhance your email delivery and not worry about sending failures, SMTP2GO is your best choice. theirs servers are whitelisted at any Antispam service, your Email wont get bounced unless you have a typo mistake. They also provide you with brilliant reports to track every single email. support team are very helpful. several packages are available for everyone and you always upgrade/downgrade if you wish Cons I never had any problems so far. except for one time when we had a few infected users sending bulk emails to invalid recipients and got us blocked. it will a bit tough to handle with the support team cause they were too strict to unblock us but to be honest they had a valid reason as our problem could have affected the other members and therefore their business. otherwise, we are happy with what have! Switched from [SendGrid](https://www.capterra.com/p/204113/SendGrid/) We had a few problems with Sendgrid, some emails were bounced for no reason and the logs didn't show enough information. Support team are always busy, and they were not suitable to our business. Review Source Response from SMTP2GO October 7, 2020 Hi Ihab, Thank you for the review! So happy you are with us! We are elated to hear that you were able to work through the infected users! Our support team is ready to help! Happy emailing! :) SW Stephen W. Senior Software Engineer, CCS Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Need a Smart-Host for your hosted server? (yes, you do!) Then SMTP2Go is your BEST solution..." June 30, 2022 5.0 Before we used SMTP2Go as our outgoing SMTP Smart-Host, we would get many bounced emails based on poor IP-reputation from other unrelated servers in our public-IP subnet. This issue plagued us when sending to Live.com, Hotmail.com, etc. That's a SERIOUS problem. SMTP2Go has completely solved that problem for us due to their excellent IP-reputation and powerful infrastructure. We LOVE SMTP2Go! Pros Rapid support response, excellent outgoing email reputation (no blocked emails), easy set-up, and crazy-low pricing! Cons As a senior software engineer, you'd think I would have at least one Con for SMTP2Go--but I don't. They're just that good... Review Source Response from SMTP2GO July 2, 2022 Hi Stephen, Wow! Thanks for the incredible review! We really appreciate it. Awesome to hear that you are so happy with the service! Reach out to us at anytime you have questions, and happy emailing! Matt M. Founder & CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SMTP2GO is the best choice for SMBs looking for outgoing email" July 6, 2021 5.0 I used SMTP2GO to improve deliverability, and it has delivered on that. Pros I was having issues with sending outbound email from my home address, even though I was using a GSuite domain and Google's SMTP services. SMTP2GO provides a simple SMTP endpoint with clean IP addresses that I can use to deliver mail with nearly 100% success. They offer 2FA for security, all the modern email authentication signatures (DKIM, etc), and enough monitoring for my use. Cons I could not think of a single con with the service, but they do not offer the ability to add or remove headers that pass through their SMTP service, which may be a problem if you need that functionality.

Happy emailing! :) VR Verified Reviewer Senior Technician (Theatre) Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "easy to use and reliable." January 9, 2019 5.0 Using SMTP2Go to solve what was an ongoing headache for my clients with Emails not being delivered due to mis-blacklisted IP addresses where ISP / Hosts share IP's between clients this software has released my time and it worth every penny - in the lats year I have not had to track down a mistaken RBL listings once where as previously this was a monthly occurrence for some co-hosted clients. but every time I move a client over to use SMTP2Go the support overhead vanishes in this respect because it just works, I could not recomend highly enough. Pros the web-based interface, and ease of integration made this the natural choice long term - having had problems a with my IPS and hosting company getting shared IP address listed on DNSBL or RBL lists and spending allot of time doing de-listing because of other peoples mistakes rerouting via SMTP2GO made perfect sense, I tried the free package and while this would suffice for 90% of the time I don;t mind paying what is realistically a small fee for piece of mind - my clients don't notice and mail gets delivered. Cons As yet I have found no drawbacks, I can't fault the interface or the service. Review Source DC Divaldo C. CEO Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best SMTP service" July 29, 2023 5.0 Having several websites and applications that need to send emails through integration, I can create SMTP accounts for each one of them, the best thing is that I can even create subaccounts to differentiate the projects. For projects that send a lot of emails, it also allows me to create a dedicated IP, FANTASTIC! Pros Best transactional email service, very simple to use, you don't need to be too technical to understand and start using it. Unlike other solutions, domain validation and user creation is simple. Excellent dashboard and reporting system. Cons I haven't found any weak points yet, in fact it's the solution I give 5 stars for everything! Switched from [Zoho CPaaS](https://www.capterra.com/p/236582/ZeptoMail/)[MailerSend](https://www.capterra.com/p/214665/MailerSend/)[Mailgun](https://www.capterra.com/p/159630/Mailgun/) All the solutions I've tried have demonstrated either complexity or bureaucracy to get the service up and running. SMTP2Go is the ready-to-use solution. Outstanding service and support. Review Source Steve P. Web Developer & Company Director Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful SMTP services without the headache!" January 9, 2019 5.0 Pros SMTP2GO gave us a simple solution to enable web applications hosted within our own network, so send emails from .NET pages easily. It removed the overheads in setting up and maintaining local email services, plus allowed us to keep our own server IP's away from blacklists - especially useful when providing shared hosting space to many different customers! The web dashboard for SMTP2GO provides simple configuration and online reporting and usgae stats, plus provdes simple logging of mails, deliveries and failures. Cons TBH, nothing - it just works! SMTP2GO provide fast reliabel support and there is a wealth of information online to get you sorted, IF you get issues. Review Source Luis D. IT Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The only company that would provide the service we need" January 29, 2019 5.0 We have spikes in our emailing that most other providers could not accept. As a school we send out regular reports to parents and these have always been sent by one user as fast as the system could produce them. We may have 2,000 emails going out from the server at regular intervals very quickly and no other smtp service would accept this as it looked like spam to them. Pros What we need was a service that would not impose limits on emails per user or per hour. With SMTP2go we simply set a monthly maximum for the whole school. Cons My only complaint, and I'm told it may be addressed in future, is that I cannot set a common footer for every user. The footers have to be set individually for each user, which is a chore when the footer has to be changed. Review Source PD Paul D. Director Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An Effective and Reliable Email Service" May 7, 2022 5.0 We spent a lot of development time on email sending as it is so critical to our business. Once SMTP2GO was up and running we have just left it to do it's job - we've not touched emailing since. Pros Of all the methods we have used of sending email, including our own SMTP server and other email services, SMTP2GO delivers by far the most email messages. Before SMTP2GO, many of our emails were rejected at various stages of delivery, now it's below 1% Cons Every month we get an email saying we've used 80% of our capacity. I know that, because we send just over that band. We would pay a lot more to use the next band up. Review Source Response from SMTP2GO July 1, 2022 Hi Paul, Thank you for writing us a review.

Purchasing the service from a third party company minimizes workforce requirement from us to maintain the system. Pros It is easy to use and has a lot of integration / API to other systems. We have this embedded on our monitoring system so it can send SMS to relevant team when there's a critical alarm. Cons The price is a bit high in my opinion given that SMTP relay service can be obtain from open source systems. Reason for choosing SMTP2GO Pricing, support, scalability and integration feature.

Digital Marketing Support Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A simply solution to sending as many emails as you want. Side step ISP email limitations." October 5, 2017 5.0 Overcoming ISP email monthly and daily limitations at a modest cost. Not more I can say to that is there? Pros No limits on the number of emails you can send from your email client. Overcomes the email limitations of many ISPs. Good metrics and support if there are issue with blacklisting. They are strict that only opt-in listsare used and that there are clear opt-out instructions. Cons Nothing. It does what it says on the tin. Sometimes there can be issues with blacklisting, but support always are responsive and help fix the issue quickly. Review Source SL Steve L. Internet Officer Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy Integration with WordPress - It Just Works" September 22, 2020 5.0 What I like about SMTP2GO is that it was easy to get started and it just works. I searched pretty hard to find the features I wanted on a free service, and while they weren't the only organisation that fitted the bill, the others wanted me to jump through hoops to sign up. By the time I'd jumped through them, I'd already implemented SMTP2GO. We may move away at some point, but on our current level of usage the benefits of doing so would be marginal and we'd obviously have some set up and testing work to do. Pros SMTP2GO was amazingly easy to implement. Signing up was free, I was happy with the level of service available on the free tier and connecting it to WordPress couldn't have been simpler as they maintain a plugin to make sure all email calls go via their service. We currently combine SMTP2GO with the WeMail plugin for sending mailshots to our members, and the combination works nicely. Cons The usage limits on the free tier aren't especially generous, and to stay within them when sending mail shots we have to allow the messages to send over an hour or so, which means "last minute" emails aren't an option for us. Not a big deal as we'd prefer to avoid last minute emails in any case, and now we have an extra reason to do so! Alternatives considered [SendPulse](https://www.capterra.com/p/146369/SendPulse/)[SendGrid](https://www.capterra.com/p/204113/SendGrid/) Reason for choosing SMTP2GO The free tier gave sufficient level of service and it was very easy to implement.

December 19, 2018 5.0 Excellent, they are fast to respond to queries, alert you to any problems and best of all seem to continually invest in the platform Pros Smtp2go is a simple & easy to use product that is packed full of features making IT admin nice and easy. Cons The only thing I can think of (and it took me a while) is probably down to the policies as opposed to the software it’s self, such as the dislike to people using autoforwarding of emails - but this may be just my understanding as to how it should work Review Source Jason L. Director, Zero.Dot.Two Initiative Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our organization is a heavy user for SMTP2Go to process thousands of messages. " October 5, 2017 5.0 BIPAC would not be able to do business without SMTP2Go. If we had to switch to another vendor it would require a significant time expense to have our developers rebuild applications and then to create the level of analytics provided by your platform. Pros Great analytics and openness of the platform. It provides us a lot of intelligence for how our messages are sent to companies and government officials. Cons It seems expensive for our monthly contract as compared to other solutions in the marketplace (e.g. mailgun).
