  • Excellent alternative to Mailgun / SES / Sendgrid

    I recently moved all our websites over from SES and Mailgun to Socketlabs, really happy with the service. The plugin works great, and I love the additional data we get via Socketlabs about deliverability & the personal support from the team. Keep up the great work guys!
