Can anyone recommend a good alternative that I should switch to?

I would not consider staying with Sparkpost after seeing these deceptive business practices. It definitely feels like a bait and switch when they promised this specifically as an alternative to Mandrill which did something similar.

One thing not mentioned in the original post is that Sparkpost is only giving 60 days notice, which as a small business owner, is a fairly tight timeline to find and implement an alternative.

These guys seem to be the best of what remains, depending on your use case...here's the results of my quick analysis...

sendgrid - supports campaigns and tracking/analytics - https://sendgrid.com/pricing/

mailgun - less support for marketing features, supports inbound email processing - https://www.mailgun.com/pricing
