The short version

Which one you want, in three sentences

Pick SMTP2GO if all you need is a reliable relay and 30 days of logs for $10/mo. It is genuinely good value for exactly that, and simplicity has a real cost saving attached.

Pick Email Bump if you also need contacts, segments, campaigns and unsubscribe handling — and would rather not run a second platform for them.

Pick neither if you have volume and engineering time, which is Amazon SES, or if deliverability support is the deciding factor, which is Postmark.

Against us

Two places SMTP2GO is the better choice

$10/mo, and it just relays. If you genuinely only need to get transactional mail out of an application, paying for contacts you don't have is the wrong model. Their Starter plan is good value and we'd be selling you things you don't need.

Servers worldwide. Location-specific sending options against our single us-east-1 region. For anyone with a geographic requirement, that's a real difference.

FAQ

Email Bump vs SMTP2GO, asked and answered

Is Email Bump cheaper than SMTP2GO?

Not for pure relay work — $10/mo for 10,000 emails is hard to beat if you have no contact list to speak of.

It becomes cheaper as soon as you'd also be buying a marketing platform, because campaigns and the relay are one plan here.

How long do you keep logs?

Retention isn't a plan feature here — the free plan sees the same history as the top one. SMTP2GO gives 30 days on paid plans and 5 on free, which is already better than most.

Can I use SMTP with Email Bump?

Yes — SMTP on the same key as the API, and the sends land in the same log as everything else. Anything with an SMTP setting can point at it.
