However, you won’t be able to optimize your send times, monitor your reputation and take advantage of live phone and chat support.

If you’re a larger business with very substantial email needs, a customized Enterprise plan is the way to go.

Which Plan Should You Choose?

The ideal Mailgun plan will depend on your particular email needs and goals. Trial is for you if you’d like to test out the service for 30 days for free before you invest in it. If you’re a startup or smaller business that sends emails on a regular basis, Foundation is a good idea, especially if you’re on a budget.

Scale makes more sense if you’re in the scaling stage and ready to grow your venture through emails. If you’re a larger business with a higher marketing budget and in search of a custom email solution with no shortage of advanced features, Enterprise is likely the best option.
