If you’re having deliverability issues with MailerSend, the best alternative depends on what you’re sending:
- Transactional email: Postmark, SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES
- Marketing email: Brevo, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Customer.io
- Mixed use: SendGrid, Mailgun, SparkPost, Amazon SES
My top picks for deliverability
-
Postmark
- Often considered one of the best for transactional email deliverability
- Strong reputation for fast inboxing and clear logs
- Great if you send password resets, receipts, notifications, etc.
-
Amazon SES
- Very strong deliverability potential
- Very low cost
- More technical to set up and manage
- Best if you want control and can handle configuration
-
Mailgun
- Good developer tooling and APIs
- Solid for transactional and some marketing use cases
- Reputation management features are useful
-
SendGrid
- Popular and feature-rich
- Good all-around option
- Deliverability can vary depending on account setup and sending patterns
If deliverability is the main concern
I’d usually suggest:
- Postmark if you send mostly transactional emails
- Amazon SES if you want the best cost/control balance
- Mailgun if you want flexibility and good API support
Common reasons deliverability is poor
Even switching providers won’t fully help if these are off:
- SPF, DKIM, and DMARC not configured correctly
- Sending from a new or low-reputation domain
- Shared IP reputation issues
- Poor list hygiene / too many bounces or complaints
- Spammy content or inconsistent sending volume
If you want, I can recommend the best alternative based on your use case:
- transactional vs marketing
- email volume
- whether you need SMTP, API, or both
- your budget
