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.
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.
