Mailgun is one of the best-known email APIs for developers. Owned by Sinch since 2021, it sends transactional email (password resets, receipts, notifications) through a REST API or SMTP relay, and adds inbound routing, email validation and detailed logs on higher plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this review we look at what Mailgun does well, where it falls short, and what it really costs in 2026, using the prices on its pricing page at 10,000 to 2.5 million emails a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short verdict:<\/strong> Mailgun is a capable, developer-friendly email API with strong inbound routing, validation and up to 30 days of logs. The catch is that the useful features sit on Foundation and Scale: Basic keeps logs for just one day, and overage on small plans is expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Quick Answer:<\/strong> Mailgun is worth it if you need inbound routing, email validation and detailed logs. The free plan sends 100 emails a day. Basic costs $15\/month for 10,000 emails, Foundation $35 for 50,000 or $75 for 100,000, and Scale $90 for 100,000 (up to $1,250 for 2.5 million). Logs last 1 day on Basic, 5 on Foundation and 30 on Scale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
