Current pricing as of October 2026. **Verdict.** Mailgun is one of the better-reviewed providers in this group. Of the 60 most recent Trustpilot reviews we read (April to September 2026), 43 were five-star and 9 were one-star, and a large share of the praise is about support. The one-star reviews repeat the sector-wide theme of sudden account disablement, plus complaints about plan changes. We read [Mailgun's Trustpilot page](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/mailgun.com) (1,533 reviews listed; 60 read across three pages plus the one-star list) and Mailgun's pricing page. SendHQ is a competing email API and is mentioned where it differs. Quotes are copied verbatim from the linked pages and attributed by the display name and month shown there. Reviews are self-selected, we cannot verify individual claims, and a complaint is not a finding about the company. ## What users praise about Mailgun - Support is the most frequent compliment. A reviewer wrote in September 2026 that they were delighted at how responsive and knowledgeable each person on the support thread was. - Developers mention integration and features. In August 2026: Easy Integration to our laravel application, mail delivered well. In June 2026 a reviewer praised smart routing to detailed logs and analytics. ## Mailgun complaints: common themes ### Account disablement (3 of 60 reviews) A July 2026 reviewer wrote: With no warning or explanation, Mailgun suspended our account. Another, the same month: they decided to permanently disable my account, without giving any reason. A long-time customer wrote in September 2026: On September 7 they have disabled my account entirely. Compare that with the many five-star support reviews: the same company draws both experiences, which fits a pattern where automated enforcement and human support are separate paths. ### Plan and price changes A September 2026 reviewer wrote: Without any noticed got my plan upgraded. Entry pricing is also steeper than some peers: the Basic plan is $15 per month for 10,000 emails with 1 domain. ### Shared IP reputation and canned replies A June 2026 three-star reviewer attributed undelivered email to mailgun providing blacklisted shared IPs, while acknowledging problems with their own list quality. Another June 2026 reviewer complained of Shocking canned responses from support that bear no resemblance to the question asked. ## Mailgun pricing (as of October 2026) Mailgun's [pricing page](https://www.mailgun.com/pricing/) lists, as of October 2026: Free at $0 with 100 emails per day and 1 domain; Basic at $15 per month for 10,000 emails and 1 domain; Foundation at $35 per month for 50,000 emails and 1,000 domains (free for the first month); Scale at $90 per month for 100,000 emails.
