Brevo vs. Mailgun: Which one is best for you?

The main difference between Brevo and Mailgun is that there is no “send” button on the Mailgun platform. Mailgun lets you send transactional emails from your own application, configured through APIs or SMTP endpoints. It’s all code-based. It’s not suited for sending email campaigns as per your marketing calendar.

On top of transactional emails, Brevo works as an email marketing platform with a convenient Send button for marketers. Create, manage, send, and monitor your email marketing campaigns and avoid paying for two tools.

Mailgun is an email service aimed at developers. If you’re not a developer and don’t know much about coding emails, Mailgun is probably not the tool for you. Brevo, on the other hand, works for email beginners, advanced marketers, and developers.

Easily customize your email campaigns with Brevo

With Brevo, you get beautiful emails, a powerful email API for bulk sending, and integrated mutlichannel tools.

Send transactional and marketing emails with one tool

Mailgun is a good option for plain text transactional emails, but limits how you can customize email campaigns. Marketing features and email templates are additional services, with separate pricing plans.

With Brevo, you don’t have to pay extra to send transactional emails if you’re already on a Marketing Platform plan. It works for developers and small teams that can’t hire a dev or write code.
