Facing Challenges with Postmark?

Limited Scalability

Postmark caps sending at around 5M emails per month per account. For serious high-volume senders, this means splitting accounts or outgrowing the platform. SendPost is built to scale without limits.

High Cost at Scale

Postmark’s transparent, flat pricing is great for smaller senders, but it becomes expensive as volume increases. SendPost delivers more advanced deliverability features with lower total cost of ownership at scale, making it the smarter long-term choice for high-volume email programs.

Narrow Deliverability Toolset

Postmark is reliable but offers only basic bounce handling and reputation visibility. SendPost delivers advanced IP pool management, domain reputation tracking, and SMTP error intelligence out of the box.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about SendX and email marketing

Is SendPost a replacement for Postmark?

Yes. Both platforms handle transactional and marketing email delivery, but SendPost is designed for larger senders who need more deliverability control, automation, and scalability. If you’ve outgrown Postmark’s limits, or feel like you are overpaying, SendPost is the natural next step.

How does SendPost pricing compare to Postmark?

Postmark’s transparent pricing works well for smaller senders, but it gets expensive at scale and lacks advanced deliverability tooling. SendPost requires a higher initial commitment, but it includes IP pool management, AI-driven automation, and real-time deliverability monitoring out of the box, delivering a lower total cost of ownership at scale.

What type of customer is SendPost best for?

SendPost is built for high-volume, revenue-focused senders, ESPs, eCommerce brands and SaaS platforms that rely on inbox placement as a growth driver. If email is mission-critical to your business, SendPost provides the infrastructure and insights Postmark doesn’t.

How does SendPost ensure deliverability for transactional emails?

We specialize in the high-speed, reliable delivery of transactional emails. Our infrastructure is built on managed IP pools with proactive monitoring to protect sender reputation. Unlike bulk marketing platforms, our systems are optimized to ensure your critical emails—like password resets, invoices, and alerts—reach the inbox instantly.

How does SendPost's pricing compare for high-volume sending?

SendPost is significantly more cost-effective for transactional and high-volume email. Our pay-as-you-go pricing is tied directly to your usage, not your subscriber count. This means you don't overpay for storing contacts and only get charged for the emails you actually send, making it a more economical and scalable solution for applications.
