Pricing Analysis
Mailgun starts at $15/mo, which is in line with other transactional email services (average ~$13/mo). The free plan (100 emails/day (~3,000/month), 1 domain, 1-day logs) lets you test the platform before committing. It's a reasonable starting point for very small lists, though you'll likely outgrow it once your subscriber count passes the limit.
