euromail vs Mailgun
For European senders weighing Mailgun (the developer classic) against an EU-native alternative. Honest differences, no scare tactics, including where Mailgun is the better choice.

| Deliverability visibility | Deliverability insights included free: live delivery latency, DMARC monitoring, Google Postmaster + Microsoft SNDS integration. We publish our own numbers at /deliverability/. | Deliverability tools sold as a paid add-on |
| Inbound email | Core feature: inbound routes, mailboxes with lease/ack delivery, agent mailboxes for AI workloads. | Inbound routing available |
| Pricing | Free tier (1,000 emails/mo), then from €25/mo. DPA, insights, and inbound on every plan. | From $15/mo (Basic), EU region and deliverability tools on higher tiers |
Mailgun is a mature platform with years of deliverability tooling and a large team behind it. If you need battle-tested scale today and US jurisdiction isn't a blocker for your customers, it's a safe pick.
The forcing event is usually a customer DPA: an enterprise or public-sector customer requires EU-only data processing, and Standard Contractual Clauses stop being enough. euromail's answer is structural, not contractual: everything runs in Finland, the DPA is on every plan, and GDPR export/erase tooling is built in. We publish our own live delivery numbers, sample sizes included, at euromail.dev/deliverability. When you're ready, the move is a config change, not a rewrite. The migration guide covers the API mapping, DNS dual-running, webhooks, and suppressions.
