If your goal is good inbox placement for Gmail and Outlook, look for an ESP/sending provider that has:

  • Strong sender reputation management
  • Easy SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup
  • Dedicated IPs available if you send high volume
  • Complaint/bounce handling
  • Good deliverability support and warm-up tooling

Good provider options

Here are some commonly strong choices:

  1. Amazon SES

    • Great deliverability potential
    • Very cost-effective
    • Best if you have technical resources
    • Needs more setup/management than others
  2. SendGrid

    • Popular for transactional and marketing mail
    • Good infrastructure and reputation tools
    • Easier to use than SES
  3. Mailgun

    • Strong for transactional email
    • Good analytics and deliverability features
    • Developer-friendly
  4. Postmark

    • Excellent for transactional emails
    • Often praised for inbox placement
    • Not ideal for large marketing blasts
  5. SparkPost

    • Good deliverability tooling
    • Useful for higher-volume senders
  6. Brevo (Sendinblue)

    • Easier for marketing campaigns
    • Good all-in-one option for smaller teams

Important note

No provider can guarantee inbox placement by itself. Gmail and Outlook mainly care about:

  • Authentication: SPF, DKIM, DMARC
  • Sender reputation
  • Low spam complaints
  • Clean list quality
  • Consistent sending volume
  • Engagement

Best quick recommendation

  • Transactional email: Postmark or Mailgun
  • High-volume / technical team: Amazon SES
  • General use: SendGrid
  • Marketing + ease of use: Brevo

If you want, I can recommend the best provider based on your use case:

  • transactional vs marketing
  • expected monthly volume
  • budget
  • whether you need dedicated IPs
