Yes, especially for teams who need more than just a sending API. While Mailgun is an excellent developer tool for sending email, Mailjet is a complete platform that serves both developers and marketers. If you are looking for an alternative that includes a drag-and-drop editor, visual builder for email automation, and built-in collaboration tools, Mailjet is the perfect fit.
Absolutely. Mailjet has a powerful and flexible email API that is perfect for all of your transactional sending needs, including receipts, password resets, and notifications. You get the best of both worlds: a robust API and easy-to-use marketing tools.
Yes, absolutely. While Mailgun is an excellent API first tool, developers often choose Mailjet when they need to maximize their impact as part of a broader team.
The real advantage for a developer at Mailjet goes beyond a simple API call. Our platform is designed to solve the common workflow friction that occurs between technical and non technical teams. For instance, you can build a robust, API triggered transactional template once. Your marketing team can then edit the copy and creative directly in our visual editor without touching your code. This model allows you to maintain control while giving them the flexibility they need.
This in turn frees you from constant requests for simple email tasks. Marketers can build campaigns, manage automations, and pull performance reports entirely on their own once you set up the sending infrastructure. Furthermore, when a customer reports an issue, you get unified visibility. You can see the logs for both transactional and marketing emails in one dashboard, which eliminates hunting across different systems to get the full picture.
We back this up with the powerful API tools you expect, including extensive documentation, SDKs for popular languages like Python, Node.js, and Java, plus webhooks and dedicated developer support. In short, Mailjet gives you the powerful API you need, plus the collaborative tools that help you scale your impact across the entire organization.
