FAQ

Senddio vs Mailgun — FAQ

For transactional email sending, yes. The API structure is similar — POST a message with to/from/subject/body/attachments and receive a message ID. Most teams complete the migration in a day. Senddio does not replicate Mailgun's advanced inbound routing engine, but does forward reply webhooks to your endpoint.

Mailgun's Flex plan charges a base fee plus per-thousand-email overages. At 200,000 emails a month, total Mailgun cost often exceeds $100. Senddio Pro at $79/mo covers 150,000 emails and all other channels with no overage. For high-volume email-only workloads, compare your exact volume against each tier.

Senddio forwards inbound replies as webhooks with headers, text and HTML body, and basic attachment metadata. Mailgun's routing engine supports complex regex matching and forwarding chains that Senddio does not replicate today. If advanced inbound routing is your primary requirement, Mailgun has an advantage there.

Yes, but you then have two APIs, two suppression lists, two log dashboards and two bills. Most teams that try this consolidate onto Senddio for email too — the unified suppression and single audit trail are worth the migration effort.

Five additional channels (SMS, WhatsApp, push, Slack, Telegram), flat pricing with no per-email overage, AI spam scoring before every send, AI template generation from your own history, and native Claude MCP + OpenAI function-calling tools with per-agent audit logging.
