Mailtrap

What it is for

Mailtrap is a hosted email-stats desk: you open Stats, and Sending Free is $0 / month. Use it when the job is delivery / open rates you chart at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Mailtrap Stats Overview (6 delivered, Unique open 66.7%, Google Workspace row, 2026-09-12–09-19) from the docs still — not a pricing card. The tiles themselves are ops of Stats. Mailtrap bills $0 / $15 / $85 sending tiles, not a chat seat.

Key features

• Stats — a sending dashboard of delivery / open / click / bounce (cover still; docs). One report. Cover 6 delivered and Google Workspace sit here.
• Email Logs — a single message you inspect (docs). A log, not a dashboard. Event history sits here.
• Email Sandbox — a catch-all you debug before you send (docs). A sandbox, not a log. Testing sits here.
• Templates — a reusable email you edit (docs). A template, not a sandbox. Handlebars sits here.
• Sending domains — a domain you verify (SPF / DKIM / DMARC) (docs). A domain, not a template. DNS sits here.

The Email API / SMTP token is install. Sending / Testing tiles are two meters. Dedicated IPs are an add-on SKU, not a sixth desk we fold into Stats.

Who it's for

Best fit: dev / lifecycle teams who will stay on Sending Free at $0 (4,000 emails / month) while they open a first Stats chart, then buy Basic at $15 / month (10,000 emails) or Business at $85 / month (100,000 emails).

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from mailtrap.io/pricing. The Email Sending tiles print Free $0 / month, Basic $15 / month, and Business $85 / month.

• Sending Free — $0 / month. 4,000 emails. “To try out Mailtrap.”
• Sending Basic — from $15 / month (10,000 emails). Higher Basic rows on the same tile print $20 (50,000) and $30 (100,000).
• Sending Business — from $85 / month (100,000 emails). Higher rows print $200 / $300 / $450.
• Sending Enterprise — from $750 / month.
• Email Testing (sister meter on the same page) — Free $0 (50 test emails); paid testing rows print $14 / $34 / $99 billed yearly on the fetch we used.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location.

Limitations / costs

• Sending Free is 4,000 emails / month. 10,000 is the $15 Basic tile.
• Testing dollars are a second meter. Do not mix the $14 testing row into Sending Basic.
• A sending-stats desk, not a campaign builder. For Resend’s API see Resend. For Loops’ audience see Loops.

Alternatives

• Resend — transactional API when you want Resend’s send desk, not Mailtrap’s $0 / $15 Stats chart.
• Loops — product email when you want Loops’ audience, not Mailtrap’s Google Workspace row.
• Customer.io — journey messaging when you want Customer.io’s people desk, not Mailtrap’s delivery %.
