Great Support
I was having issues getting our emails sent and received promptly. SendWP helped me sort out the issues with our DNS configuration and gave me exemplary professional support! It took some time to figure out the issues, but their support was always positive and helpful. I never felt that they just wanted to close the ticket like most support systems do these days.

Worked like a charm
Love this service so much. If you have been trying to fix website form notification emails, use this service. Affordable and built well.

I have tried them all, and SendWP is by far the best!
I was able to solve a sticky client issue within 30 minutes. This is something I have needed for a long time. An elegant solution to a tricky problem. I immediately bought it for my own website and will be pretty much forcing clients to use this service. Thanks Matt, great plugin!

Super helpful
Special shout out to Matt. Super quick response times and easy to work with to resolve subscription and url issues. Clearly and patiently explained answers to all of my questions.

Not recommended due to legal issues
I had found the SendWP plugin while searching for an alternative to Amazon SES. The pricing structure is very simple, which I like. However, it is also essential for European website operators that the selected third-party providers and partners comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or who provide some basic company information, which is unfortunately not the case here. There is no information about who exactly operates the service and where they are headquartered. However, this information is mandatory according to the GDPR. Because as a website operator in the EU, data processing agreements must be concluded with third-party providers from certain countries that process our customer data (here: e-mails from visitors, users, customers etc.). Because, the headquarters of these third-party providers used must be stated in one's own data protection documentation. Unfortunately, these are the requirements. So I tried to contact the provider to find out this information. But unfortunately, already here in the support forum, the first message (READ THIS FIRST) points out that no support is provided. Unless you register an account on their website, but in turn you need to pay to create an account, no matter what. So it is neither possible to test the plugin or the service, nor is it possible to get legally important information about the provider without creating a paid account. These are all red flags in my eyes and although I have not yet been able to test the plugin and its quality. For this reason, I cannot recommend it in any case.
