### "Email testing made easy"

July 15, 2022

5.0

I was in the market for an email testing tool to use for my Automated test cases. After a lot market research I found Mailinator which in my opinion is one of the best for the features it offers for fraction of the price compared to the competition. For a small use case like mine , I get to send/receive 300 messages a month which seems a very reasonable for free tier. There is also SMS feature available. Being able to send/receive test messages via API just makes the experience very seamless. I would definitely recommend Mailinator to my peers.

Pros

The ease of API access, Feature set, seamlessly integrated with Cypress Automation

Cons

API Documentation could be a little more structed

Reason for choosing Mailinator

Feature set /pricing

### "Review of the Verified Pro"

September 20, 2022

5.0

I am very happy with the email automation tests and its corresponding REST API

Pros

The main and most useful feature I use is the email automation testing. Our automated suite triggers the system to send emails as part of some test cases, and then our test calls the REST API and validate that the email is being received and also compares the time and the content of the email with the expected values

Cons

I am not sure if there is any limit, I think from time to time I hit the limit of the verified pro daily usage and I need to wait next day to resume, maybe in the future I will consider purchase the service but for now it seems manageable

### "Horrible sales team"

March 20, 2022

1.0

Terrible

Pros

Someone at Mailinator or likely the sales team blew up our inbound leads with a couple of dozen leads. All fake leads including their @mailinator domain.

Cons

The ridiculous spam of fake leads that put our sales team through

Hi Thomas, Unfortunately, it sounds like someone at another company was harassing your team. Mailinator is a receive-only system, meaning that it can not send emails. Whomever sent those was spoofing the @mailinator address. Again, sorry for the misfortune, but I can assure you that nobody from Mailinator would have been able to do this. -Albert

### "Fantastic Email and SMS Testing Service"

September 20, 2022

5.0

I use Mailinator to quickly test email and SMS scripts.

Pros

I liked how simple it was to immediately use without signing up for an account. I was also thrilled with how easy it was to broaden its use scope with an account.

Cons

I didn't like that you had to have a paid subscription to use the SMS testing. However, I completely understand that there are more costs associated with that functionality.

### "Emailinator is a great one to have."

September 23, 2022

5.0

Able to use a mailinator when we are going to test emailing from salesforce.

Pros

Able to search the email, and the ability to see HTML content, json, etc.

Cons

I think the service is improving. Hopefully, in the future, the emails are manageable like put them in a folder.

### "An excellent option for small businesses "

February 27, 2023

4.0

Since we are doing lots of test regarding the auto generated emails sent during sign-up, this is a perfect solution and the $0 price point is literally impossible to beat.

Pros

The Pro feature being free for a single user is great because I can receive test emails for the project I'm managing and make sure that everything looks exactly how I want it to.

Cons

It would be nice if I could have the emails forwarded to another email address instead of having to log into the website to access those emails.

### "Love the Automation"

April 21, 2022

5.0

It is so much easier and quicker to complete testing automation scripts with Mailintor.

Pros

I love the APIs that are available for interacting with the emails we send. This makes it so much easier to automate testing in our environment

Cons

I wish it were easier to find a single email in the domain provided. As of right now, I have to find the mailbox, search for the applicable inbox, get the email ID, then I can interact with that particular email.

### "Comes in handy for testing! "

September 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

It's easy to set up, and I'm able to generate multiple emails on the fly in a programatic way. I don't have to set up personal mailboxes to do some testing, involving email workflows.

Cons

I'm currently still testing out different features, so none so far.

### "Basic review"

December 9, 2022

5.0

We can automate email delivery verification and content checking later.

Pros

Ease of use, testing email delivery, automated tests

Cons

The links in mailinator gui get encoded with mailinator and that corrupts the link.

Review Source

Response from Manybrain

December 14, 2022

Hi there, ¿an G, Thanks for the review. You mentioned that the gui corrupts the link. That happens sometimes when using the public (mailinator.com) addresses, but not your private domain that comes with the paid subscription or the free Verified Pro plan. Regardless, we'd love to make sure we don't have any bugs and would welcome your help if you'd be open to contacting us at support@manybrain.com. Thanks!

### "Automated Email Quality Control with Mailinator"

March 13, 2023

4.0

It's been very positive. Some customer support was required to get my validated account, but it worked out and has been really helpful for me since then.

Pros

Mailinator has helped me identify customer segments that needed attention in our email strategy, that would have otherwise gone unnoticed! This was really helpful, and was a missing piece in our quality control.

Cons

I've used Mailinator for a really basic use case, so I cannot speak to the more in depth functions. However I can say that the look and feel of the browser layout might be my least favorite part.

Product easy to use and it's quite easy to implement.

### "Good tool to use in automation"

March 22, 2022

5.0

Out system sends a lot of email from where users can take actions. Using mailinator allowed us to automate those actions in Cypress without opening it in a new browser window as it has API.

Pros

Access to API and documentation on how to use the api.

Cons

Searching through emails using api, how long the email addresses are.

Reason for choosing Mailinator

No need to host it

February 27, 2023

4.0

Pros

You can get a lot done with a free version and get what you need accomplished. Does exactly what it says it should. No fuss no muss. Good documentation.

Cons

Wish there was better filtering available on the API. You end up drinking from the firehose.
