It costs $10\/month for 50,000 emails, $100 for 500,000 and $450 for 2.5 million, with SMTP relay and a REST API on every plan. For the same $10 that buys 10,000 emails on SMTP2GO Starter, you get 50,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike most sending APIs, the same account includes Mailercloud\u2019s email marketing platform, so newsletters, automation and transactional email share one domain setup and one bill. You can also clean lists with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/features\/email-verifier\/\">email verifier<\/a> before importing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade-offs: the SDK and plugin ecosystem is smaller than SendGrid\u2019s, and there\u2019s a 14-day trial rather than a permanent free plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SMTP relay and REST API<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$10\/month for 50,000 emails<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup for your domain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivery logs and analytics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email marketing and verifier in the same account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>Mailercloud Email API Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>$10\/month for 50,000 emails; $100 for 500,000; $450 for 2.5M<\/li>\n    <li>SMTP relay and REST API on every plan<\/li>\n    <li>Email marketing in the same account<\/li>\n    <li>Email verifier available from the same account<\/li>\n    <li>14-day free trial<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>Mailercloud Email API Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Smaller SDK and plugin ecosystem than SendGrid<\/li>\n    <li>At exactly 100,000 emails you need the $100 plan (500,000)<\/li>\n    <li>No permanent free plan<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> <strong>$10\/month<\/strong> for 50,000 emails; $100 for 500,000; $450 for 2.5M. 14-day free trial. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/features\/email-api\/?source=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=alternatives_smtp2go\">See API pricing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Teams sending up to 2.5 million emails a month who want low, flat pricing and marketing email in one account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:14px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #d6e4f5;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:10px;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;\">\n  <div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;flex:1 1 320px;\"><p style=\"margin:0;font-size:14.5px;color:#2d3748;line-height:1.5;\"><strong>Try the Mailercloud Email API<\/strong> &mdash; SMTP and REST, $10\/month for 50,000 emails, with a 14-day free trial.<\/p><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/app.mailercloud.com\/register?source=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=alternatives_smtp2go_mid\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2b6cb0;color:#fff;font-size:14px;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;padding:10px 20px;border-radius:999px;white-space:nowrap;\">Start free trial&nbsp;&rarr;<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Mailercloud ($10 for 50,000) and Amazon SES ($0.10\u2013$0.16 per 1,000) are cheaper<\/strong> once you send more than 10,000 emails a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does SMTP2GO have a free plan?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes. SMTP2GO\u2019s free plan sends 1,000 emails a month (200 a day)<\/strong> with 5-day reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which SMTP2GO alternative has the biggest free plan?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mailjet (6,000 emails a month) and Brevo (300 a day) have the biggest free allowances<\/strong>, followed by Resend (3,000 a month).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use these alternatives with WordPress and business apps?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes. All the services here support SMTP relay<\/strong>, so you can switch by updating the host, port, username and password in your app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Verdict\"><\/span>Final Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SMTP2GO is a well-liked, easy relay, and it\u2019s a fine choice for low volumes. If cost or the need for marketing email is pushing you to look elsewhere, the <strong>Mailercloud Email API<\/strong> gives you SMTP and REST for $10\/month for 50,000 emails, with marketing in the same account. Choose <strong>Brevo<\/strong> or <strong>Mailjet<\/strong> for bigger free allowances, <strong>Mailgun<\/strong> for logs and inbound email, and <strong>Amazon SES<\/strong> for the lowest cost at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#ebf4ff;border-radius:14px;padding:clamp(28px,3.6vw,40px) clamp(20px,3vw,36px);margin:36px 0;text-align:center;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:clamp(20px,2.4vw,27px);line-height:1.25;letter-spacing:-0.015em;font-weight:400;color:#111827;\">5x the emails for the same $10 &mdash; <strong style=\"font-weight:800;\">try the Mailercloud Email API<\/strong><\/p>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 20px 0;font-size:13.5px;color:#4a5568;\"><span style=\"color:#EBB233;letter-spacing:1px;\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/span>&nbsp; 4.5 on G2 \u00b7 4.7 on Capterra \u00b7 4.4 on Trustpilot &middot; Trusted by 35,000+ businesses<\/p>\n  <div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;justify-content:center;\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/app.mailercloud.com\/register?source=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=alternatives_smtp2go\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#111827;color:#ffffff;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;padding:12px 26px;border-radius:999px;\">Start free trial&nbsp;&nbsp;&rarr;<\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/features\/email-api\/?source=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=alternatives_smtp2go\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:transparent;color:#111827;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;padding:11px 24px;border-radius:999px;border:1.5px solid #111827;\">See API pricing<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <p style=\"margin:14px 0 0 0;font-size:12.5px;color:#4a5568;\">14-day free trial &middot; SMTP &amp; REST API &middot; Marketing in the same account<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last updated: October 2026 | Pricing and ratings checked on October 28, 2026 | 10 min read SMTP2GO is one of the best-liked SMTP relays around, rated 4.7 on G2, 4.9 on Capterra and 4.8 on Trustpilot.
