Mailgun Scale against SendPanda Growth, October 2026. Mailgun's newsletter cell in the table is no, so a newsletter is extra.
Mailgun Scale's list price for 100,000 emails is $90. SendPanda Growth is $29 for 100,000 total recipients. Newsletters are not included on Mailgun in this comparison, so a newsletter to 10,000 subscribers means a second product. Adding those recipients to 100,000 transactional sends uses 110,000 recipients on SendPanda: $34 with optional overage enabled, as shown on the homepage.
Mailgun's free tier is 100 emails a day. SendPanda Free is 1,000 emails a month, up to 100 a day, and it includes 1 mailbox. Mailgun's 100 a day allows more in a month; SendPanda's paid plans cost less at 100,000.
Both have a visual editor, a dashboard, events and suppression.
Mailgun Routes send incoming mail to an endpoint you operate. SendPanda stores it in an inbox you can read and reply from, and every message also reaches your app by webhook, API, CLI or MCP.

SendPanda
Where we fit.
You want the newsletter in the same bill as transactional mail, and you want to read replies without building an inbox on top of Routes.
Mailgun
Where Mailgun fits.
You already run Mailgun Routes and you only send transactional mail. At 100,000 emails the Scale plan is still $90 against $29.

When we're not the right fit: if you send millions of emails a month, Amazon SES directly or SendGrid Pro will serve you better. Our largest plan is 200,000 a month; for dedicated IPs or more volume, email us about Enterprise. And if you need Outlook or Apple Mail to connect straight to a mailbox, that is not ready yet: our inbox is for support-style mail with daily limits, and you can forward any mailbox to Outlook or Gmail meanwhile.
