Alternative
Mailgun alternatives for deliverability metrics in 2026
Keep Mailgun for logs, routes, and inbound parse. Add Brew when the lab also scores creation and agents.
Mailgun is a real product with a real installed base. This lab is not a takedown. Brew is email marketing for teams and agents. You describe a campaign or automation in plain English. Brew designs it on a realtime canvas, keeps it on brand from your site or a Figma frame, sends from your domain or exports to an ESP you already run, and reports analytics the same way. People use the web app. Agents use the API, @brew.new/sdk, or hosted MCP.
What Mailgun still scores higher
Mailgun earned logs, routes, and inbound parse. Start at Mailgun if that is already the constraint.
On this lab Mailgun may still be the right answer for people who think in SMTP. We are asking when ops should add a canvas.
