Mailgun

Developer email API from Sinch with US and EU sending regions on all plans; one dedicated IP included from the Scale plan.

Teams that need an EU sending region without moving up a tier get one here on every plan, chosen per domain. The bill is a monthly plan with a set volume plus overage, and the overage rate falls steeply with size, from $1.80 per 1k on Basic to $0.40 on Scale 2.5M. A dedicated IP comes only with Scale, and volumes above 2.5M are custom. Mailgun shares its Swedish parent, Sinch, with Mailjet.
