Excellent alternative to Mailgun / SES / Sendgrid
by leverager·5 years ago

I recently moved all our websites over from SES and Mailgun to Socketlabs, really happy with the service. The plugin works great, and I love the additional data we get via Socketlabs about deliverability & the personal support from the team.

Keep up the great work guys!
