SMTP.com

Legacy SMTP relay and email delivery service.

overview

SMTP.com is a long-running SMTP relay and transactional email delivery provider now associated with Ziff Davis. It is relevant to the provider universe because many legacy applications still evaluate it for SMTP delivery, but its primary pricing page was not accessible to the crawler during this audit.

for growth and lifecycle teams

Growth work lives or dies on targeting and measurement. What matters is whether behavioral triggers can be built without engineering time, whether the event stream supports attribution past the open, and whether deliverability holds when broadcast volume shares a reputation with product email.

Against behavior-triggered journeys, broadcasts, and winback campaigns measured on revenue, SMTP.com covers event stream and the suppressions API, and does not cover scheduling and multi-tenant support. Whether that gap matters depends on how central those are to the build.

  • Deliverability: Legacy SMTP relay. Treat current deliverability and pricing claims as needing manual verification before publication because the primary pricing page was inaccessible.
  • Operating since: Not published
  • Suppressions API: Yes
  • Best published rate per 1,000: Tiers not published in comparable form
  • Multi-tenant: No
  • Free tier: No verified permanent free tier from accessible primary docs
  • Starts at: Primary pricing page was inaccessible to crawler; verify manually before relying on this profile
