SMTP2GO

thirty days of logs as standard and two years if you'll pay — the most serious answer here to the question everyone forgets to ask.

$10/mo#operations-teams-who-nee

cheaper than postmark at scale with retention almost as good and extendable further — held back by how little it publishes about anything else.

thirty days of activity storage on both paid tiers, with a paid extension running up to two years. only postmark's $5 annual add-on competes, and smtp2go's baseline is better than mailgun's, sendgrid's and mailersend's entry plans by a factor of ten or thirty.

the pricing is straightforward and mid-field: $10 for ten thousand, $75 for a hundred thousand. that undercuts mailgun and sendgrid at volume by about 17% and postmark by considerably more, while keeping retention that actually supports a support team.

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

our verdict

cheaper than postmark at scale with retention almost as good and extendable further — held back by how little it publishes about anything else.

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.
