Looking for a Mailgun alternative?
wemail is the only alternative your existing Mailgun code already speaks. One line changed, up to 70% less, 12-month logs, EU data residency by default.
Why teams leave Mailgun
Debugging last month's delivery issue is impossible when retention is 5 days. wemail keeps 12 months, searchable.
100k sends on Scale costs €90 — before the €59/mo dedicated-IP add-on. wemail meters at €49, IP included from 500k.
EU region is a separate opt-in setup. wemail stores and processes in the EU by default — GDPR and DPA ready.
The only alternative that's drop-in
Every Mailgun alternative asks you to rewrite your integration — new SDK, new webhook formats, new templates. wemail's shim speaks Mailgun's wire format: keep your client, change the host, and you're sending.

Common questions
What is the best Mailgun alternative?
It depends on what you're leaving for. If it's price, retention or EU residency — and you don't want to rewrite your integration — wemail is the only alternative with a drop-in Mailgun shim.
Do I have to rewrite my Mailgun integration?
No. Change the host URL to api.wemail.io and your existing client keeps working — send() calls, templates and suppressions included.
Is switching risky?
Traffic shifts gradually over 60 minutes with both providers live, Mailgun stays warm for 30 days, and rollback is one API call.
