The Mailjet alternative built for modern teams
Mailjet throttles you with daily limits and locks you into MJML. Sendbound gives you unlimited daily sends, native React Email support, and a developer-first API.
Built for a better email experience
Daily send limits on free tier
Mailjet's free tier limits you to 200 emails a day. If you get a spike in signups, your users stop getting verification emails. Sendbound's free tier has no daily limits.
Developer experience is an afterthought
Mailjet is primarily a marketing tool. Their API works, but it's not designed for developers building modern apps. Sendbound is API-first with a flawless TypeScript SDK.
No React Email support
Mailjet pushes you to use MJML. Sendbound lets you use React Email, the modern standard for building emails with components you already know.
Deliverability insights
Sendbound provides real-time blocklist monitoring and detailed inbox placement stats. Mailjet provides basic open and click tracking.

Avg time: < 1 hourVerify your domain
Add your sending domain. We walk you through DNS, DKIM, and SPF and verify automatically.

One command. TypeScript types and IntelliSense included out of the box.

Developers who made the switch
We hit Mailjet's daily limit during a launch and our welcome emails stopped sending. Switched to Sendbound the next day and never looked back.
React Email + Sendbound is the holy grail of email development. MJML was fine 5 years ago, but being able to use our existing React components is incredible.
