Why teams switch

The four reasons we hear most often from teams leaving Mailgun.

EU data residency by default

All data lives in France, not behind an opt-in. GDPR compliance is the starting point, not an extra tier or contract.

Predictable pricing

Three fixed plans with no surprises afterwards. You know the month's cost upfront, even when your volume spikes.

Less enterprise complexity

No sales calls, tiers, or add-ons to unlock basic features. The REST API, webhooks, and logs work out of the box.

Inbound email included

Receiving, parsing, and routing inbound mail is part of the platform. No separate plan or inbound configuration required.

Migrated in three steps

The move from Mailgun to Maillog is deliberately small. Read more about the API itself on the email API page.

1

Add your domain and set DNS records

Add your sending domain in the dashboard and publish the generated SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in your DNS. The wizard verifies them right away.

2

Create an API key

Generate an API key with only the scopes you need. Every call made with each key is visible in the logs.

3

Switch the endpoint or use the SMTP relay

Sending via an API? Switch the endpoint and adjust the payload — a single POST to the REST API is all it takes. Sending via SMTP? Just change the relay host, port, and credentials, with no code changes at all.

Frequently asked questions

Is Maillog's deliverability comparable to Mailgun's?
Maillog is built for deliverability from day one: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation, IP warming, and blacklist monitoring are included by default. You can see exactly what happened to every message — no black box. In the end, inbox placement mostly depends on your own sender reputation, which largely carries over when you switch.
How much does Maillog cost compared to Mailgun?
Maillog has three fixed plans: Free (100 emails per day), Pro (€29 per month), and Business (€99 per month). No per-thousand pricing that scales with your success, and inbound email is included instead of being a separate plan. Compare the plans in the pricing section above.
Where is my data hosted?
All Maillog infrastructure is hosted in France. Your data never leaves the EU, which makes GDPR compliance much simpler than with a US-based provider where EU residency is an opt-in.
How long does migration from Mailgun to Maillog take?
A typical setup takes less than a day: add your domain, set the DNS records, create an API key, and switch the endpoint. Systems sending via SMTP only need updated relay settings. DNS propagation usually determines the timeline, not the code change.
Does Maillog have a free tier for testing?
Yes. The free tier includes 100 emails per day, one domain, and 7-day log retention — no credit card and no expiry. You can test alongside your current Mailgun setup for as long as you like before fully switching.
Can I run Maillog next to Mailgun during the switch?
Yes. Because DNS records apply per (sub)domain, you can route a subdomain or part of your traffic through Maillog first and only complete the switch once you're happy with delivery.
