What is the difference between Mailtrap and MailerSend?

Both MailerSend and Mailtrap are known for fast, reliable email delivery and high levels of deliverability. However, Mailtrap is primarily an email testing tool used for testing developer environments and email workflows, and as such, its email delivery platform lacks some of the additional advanced features that MailerSend offers, such as inbound routing, SMS, email verification, native integrations, and template builders.

Can I send marketing email campaigns with MailerSend?

In order to maintain the best deliverability possible, we recommend that our users only send transactional emails with MailerSend. We do have SSO capabilities with the email marketing platform MailerLite, which makes it easy to manage transactional emails and marketing campaigns under 1 account.

Why use MailerSend?

In addition to the advanced features that make MailerSend a competitive alternative to Mailtrap, it also offers a more flexible and scalable solution. MailerSend has plans for more variations of sending volumes at competitive rates, which make it an attractive solution for growing businesses.
