Semi-related: If you are in the market for an email provider for transactional emails, I encourage you to use Postmark. It's a developer focused company with a simple pricing model and great documentation, and their IPs tend to have great reputation scores. I don't work for them, but I switched from one of these two and am very happy I did.

And another company acquired coming from efounders, a startup studio specialized in SaaS. I think efounders track record is really interesting, out of 19 companies, 4 acquisition and 3 other project that seems to work very well (AirCall, Front and Spendesk). All their companies are here for the curious: https://www.efounders.com/companies

They're shutting down accounts without any notice. It doesn't matter how many emails you sent, that you have 0 spam complaints, extremely low bounce rate ... on the first issue they're banning your account.
We used them to notify our customers when new people sign up on their portal so we included details about those users, including the website. We got JUST ONE, SINGLE .tk domain in the email content and they blocked our account completely. We were also on their Premier plan.
No notice before-hand, no warning, nothing.. they simply blocked the account and haven't activated it back even after numerous requests. They couldn't point to any document that stated their policies and what rules we should follow or why they banned us.
tl;dr. Stay away from Sparkpost, they ban your account without notice.

All in all before we had even launched our application they had thrown nearly 200,000 free email credits at us. We hadn't even provided a credit card yet.
Considering at launch we were sending about 2,000 emails per month on a busy month we joked that we would never have to pay these guys.
Come a year and a half later we're sending a lot more than 2k emails per month and we're just about out of credits. At this point Postmark had become so ingrained in our applications (we made heavy use of their SDKs and templates) there wasn't any easy way to switch if we wanted to.
While we thought they were the fools for giving us such an obscene amount of free credits, they ultimately won in the long game and that company is still using (and now paying) Postmark.
All of that said, Postmark IS fantastic. I use them for every project where I need to send or receive mail, and I wouldn't consider anyone else. Highly recommend them.

Happy Mailgun user here. Sending 1MM+ transactional emails/month and 9MM+ marketing emails/month. Working flawlessly, given that you setup everything correctly (separate domains, dedicated IPs at least for transactional emails, SPF, DKIM)

I used to use Postmark but switched to Mailgun. I'm very happy. What would you say is the benefit of Postmark compared to Mailgun?
