Built for developers, designed for teams

MailerSend integrates quickly into your tech stack, scales with your sendings, and ensures that your emails get delivered.
The ease of integration is super. I write predominantly in Golang for back-end services, and I had MailerSend integrated in about sixty seconds flat. I work on small projects, which typically need to move fast, and I've moved to MailerSend for all transactional email services.
Super easy-to-use API for devs and user-friendly mail templating for designers. I love the fact that we can define data from the dashboard and simply call it with the API from the backend to easily send emails. Devs don't need to do design work and designers don't need to code. It's awesome.

I set it up in one day. I had a delay because I'm using Cloudflare and forgot to set my DNS records to "only dns" to bypass their proxy. As soon as I did it, my account was active and ready to be tested. After sending 20-30 emails I applied the "upgrade" for the free plan, and that was it. It's been working with great deliverability rates since.
