Mailgun

eu residency stated plainly on the pricing page, attached to a plan that forgets your mail after twenty-four hours.

$15/mo#eu-based-senders-at-scal#thirty-day-history-toget

a capable, well-established platform whose entry plan has the worst retention here — one day — on exactly the tier most small senders buy.

the eu story is the strongest here after amazon: mailgun states plainly on its pricing page that data can remain in the region of your choice, with no separate charge mentioned. several rivals treat that as an enterprise feature or don't document it at all.

one day of log retention on basic is the problem. that's the $15 plan covering ten thousand emails — the one a small saas actually buys — and it means a customer asking about an email from yesterday morning may already be beyond your ability to answer. foundation gets five days, scale gets thirty.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
