Best entry-level transactional email provider
I set it up in one day. I had a delay because I'm using Cloudflare and forgot to set my DNS records to "only dns" to bypass their proxy. As soon as I did it, my account was active and ready to be tested. After sending 20-30 emails I applied the "upgrade" for the Free plan, and that was it. It's been working with great deliverability rates since.
PROSThe free tier is very generous at 12k emails/month, perpetually. Which makes it perfect for a small size e-commerce or growing online community. Since it has a pay-as-you-go model, you can use it even for higher # of emails without having to commit to higher monthly fees elsewhere (specially for volumes that will go unused).
CONSSo far, I haven't seen any on the technical side. On the cost side, after 20k emails/month it would make more sense to move to a different provider, I wish they could review this, as is not ideal to jump from provider to provider as one scales. It would be preferable to just stay under MailerSend, maintaining the economical benefit.
Reason for choosing MailerSend
The free tier has everything i needed from the paid plan at MailJet at my email volume requirements.
Vendor Response

Worth every penny
We haven't been able to really on email before using MailerSend. We were always worried that the email would go to spam or promotion, but now our clients sometimes say "how did your FIRST email got into my inbox with a star on it?".For us, email is critical for the businesses that we help and MailerSend has been playing a critical role. Better still, they have humans that respond and read what you write to them when you need. This is extremely important.
PROSIt has a strictly anti-spam police and this benefits those that use email as a tool to deliver messages that the client wants to see.
CONSI have tested a lot of softwares on the market, the only thing about MailerSend is it's pricing, but overall it can double our open rate which in turns makes it even cheaper that every other tool.
Reason for choosing MailerSend
At first, I tested their quality of service (SMTP) and it was greater than everything I have seen and tested. And gosh, I tested a lot. But their support and easy to use interface was glorious.
Reasons for switching to MailerSend
We never do spam and always try to send only emails that our clients asked for. Yet, I was tired of being punished and losing accounts of clients on Amazon SES and they just say "you have something wrong but we won't tell you. Fix it but we won't respond you". MailerSend told me when something wrong, blocked my account and, uppon my response, they unblocked in 10 minutes (because I always follow the rules). Despite the numbers and algorithms telling something, a real human has unblocked account because he could understand what happened (and it was not my fault). In Amazon, my clients lost their accounts in the most critical moments.

Great Service, very good product
I really love MailerSend. Tried it for a month and changed to a yearly plan after about ten days.
PROSMailersend is so simple. Everybody can use it. And it's way better than Amazon. I'm so happy I've found it. And Service is really great: fast and calm!

Intuitive interface. Custom unsubscribe is helpful.
CONSStay away from mailersend at all costs. Mailersend is a 'HASSLE-FOCUSED' company. They use their terms of service to manipulate customers into using their platform but when their platform sends 100% of your test emails to spam (or missing) and you know you've configured your DNS properly and have a reputable domain to send from, they don't care about that or when you request a refund for really bad service and results. It's a scam with empoyees forced to flaunt that it's a great place to work all over their website (what other companies do that??) when the leadership team is probably dysfunctional and isolated. If you don't believe me sign up to their platform and send test emails using a reputable warm up platform. (not using glock apps because companies like mailersend know how to get good scores using that app) You'll see that all or almost all of your emails from the warm up process are going to spam or missing. THAT'S A MAJOR RED FLAG. People who have given mailersend rave reviews have clearly not really tested the platform. That probably explains why mailersend is one of the few platforms that cannot deliver what they claim they can. I would recommend a 'terms of internal practice' review for mailersend and maybe even dump Ignas. It might be time for a major shakeup.

Great value, INCREDIBLE support, and extremely easy to use.
Extremely good! Really look forward to zooming up the pricing tiers as we grow so we can give some more back in return :)
PROSAfter messing around with Mailchimp and walking away unhappy, it's been a godsend to come across Mailersend (& Mailerlite). The layout is extremely clear, it hooks up to Zapier, and the one issue I had due to not reading the docs properly was cleared up by support in minutes in a personal and friendly manner, which is extremely impressive. For small businesses who want to automate their emailing as much as possible (using Airtable - Zapier - Mailersend) this is absolutely perfect. Also, for small businesses, the pricing plan is extremely fair. Though most importantly, everything's landing in inboxes.
CONSSo far, all is good. Can't wait to start breaking things ;)
Reason for choosing MailerSend
We're not a huge company and don't need extremely complex functionality. We don't want to work with huge companies who takes days to deliver generic responses back in support, and don't want complex pricing models. In addition, some of the reviews online of competitors when it comes to getting spam-canned are quite worrying.
Reasons for switching to MailerSend
Mailchimp is way too clunky, complex, expensive and unintuitive for us.

One of our better decisions to switch from a large provider (probably the largest) to MailerSend!
Very positive, and the point i would like to stress the most is the fabolous MailerSend support. We where so disappointed with our prior mail providers support that this experience which we had with MailerSend support was a blessing from the start on. Short response times and really tech savy & competent support contacts (thanks Abdullah and the others!). This is for sure the major benefit of switching to the MailerSend.
PROSFor us deliverability and reliability was the most important factors. MailerSend made it their mission to send reliable transaction emails, this specific focus was what got us as most others have their focus on newsletter (mass sending but not reliable). MailerSend's software has all the features we needed and which we where already using with our prior provider. The API is well documented and thoughtfully implemented, the deliverability was good from the start. Really really glad it went smooth as it did so far!
CONSIt is a minor drawback, and to be fair only a drawback because MailerSend provides an additional feature compared to others to start with. The feature is retrieving the content of sent template emails, the drawback is that those emails are not parsed. So we had to implement our own parsing which in some way nullified the advantage of parsing content from MailerSend.
Reason for choosing MailerSend
Focus on transaction emails
Reasons for switching to MailerSend
Terrible customer support, unreliable service, features which didn't work and general lack of understanding of our needs.

A boon software for early stage startups for email services
For an early stage startup who has cash crunch, MailerSend is an extended support hand which can solely take care of email services. This software is awesome and I highly recommend for any early stage startups.
PROS1. Customizable templates are designed very well. 2. Developer Friendly - Ease of deployment and handy placement of CTAs 3. Dynamic content is easy to replace and the process is very simple to trigger the emails.
CONS1. Analytics & Reports - Give an incorrect timings often 2. Gives only 3 email templates in the startup plan and no duplicate option. 3. Mails are going to spam/promotions. Settings page is confusing.
Reason for choosing MailerSend
Templates were matching to our requirements and very developer friendly.
Reasons for switching to MailerSend
There were less options, mails were going to spam and I found MailerSend is a step ahead of all these issues.

Best transactional email service
I have a mass mailing service and I need the emails to be delivered without going to SPAM and with mailersend I can have that guarantee and communicate with customers in a secure way.
PROSAfter researching several providers and testing a few, after using mailersend I found it to be very straight to the point and very simple to use, with an excellent price.
CONSI had a lot of difficulty validating my email list using mailersend, but that was resolved with mailercheck, which is a tool from the same company.
Reasons for switching to MailerSend
With regard to gmail, the sending service using external applications has been discontinued for some time, I tried using mailgun which was a good solution, but still some emails fall into spam and worse it is quite expensive.

Affordable version of Mailchimp with faultless customer service.
I've used Mailerlite for 5+ years and there have been more than happy with the service. Failed emails is upsetting when you have a large sales campaign that is time-sensitive, but every time the customer service staff are eager to help, timely responses and so nice that it soothes me!I have a hefty web of automation working with Zapier and that integration has been nothing but smooth - great segmentation and customer management.
PROSEase of use & automation features - I use an older version of Mailerlite that encompasses landing pages, automation and email campaigns & analytics in one. I've used it for 5+ years and the best thing about this software is the customer service.
CONSAt times there are snags in the system, but whenever I've had a failed campaign (maybe 2-3 times a year) the customer service team have been on it immediately and super helpful and polite. Sometimes the rich-text editor can be buggy - but it's my preferred template so I have workarounds for those bugs (like writing in a separate doc and copy pasting text over to avoid over-deleting of content).
Reasons for switching to MailerSend
Mailchimp was too expensive.

Once decisions are influenced by choices, servitude mode goes out the window.
My experience was good until like most tech stories, a classic of pulling critical features from under your feet when you have invested a lot of time into your setup(In my case, two years of work). On many grounds, users come first and then you work backwards, if your going to make a big change, you as well don't let it affect people who have been with you when you started(better yet, not even promote your breaking change as just an update).
PROSNot here to recommend, the features even if they come good today will likely be pulled from under your feet a few months to come. Mostly without a solid logic backing it, just choice from some third party influence. In turn all features go out the window, if you will be blocked from using it down the road.
CONSThe people behind the software, their methods, just completely not fair when they start making decisions that affect real-life people who have invested a lot of time into their products. A complete disconnect with what and how we use the product. Integrity, a big lack of it.

Excellent service
Very good value for money. Our volume of emails is quite low so we don't have to pay anything. Setup was very easy, there's a package to integrate directly with Laravel. Service has been very smooth sailing. We encountered our first problem yesterday. MailerSend's support team replied to my request for help very quickly. Their support team understood the problem and their development team fixed the issue promptly. Quite a refreshing change from my usual experience with other companies' support teams. I'm a very satisfied customer.
PROSVery easy to integrate, their PHP & Laravel SDK was a breeze to work with.

Our previous provider just suspends an account if their system flags an email, without letting you know first such that you can sort the problem out. Their support is also too slow and not all staff seemed to grasp provided explanations.

PROSMailerSend is extremely easy to use and super fast to set up. I was able to send the first email via the API in minutes. With the predefined templates and drag&drop editor you're able to do a real quick start.
CONSIn the beginning there were some features missing - but now everything I need is there. The only improvement I'd still love to have is being able to choose the location of the data centre (in terms of GDPR, an EU location would be much appreciated).

I was saved by Mailersend
I was making a switch from Amazon ses after they blocked my account without providing any reason. I don't spam and I send only high quality emails to people who have explicitly given the permission to send them emails. I was looking out for Solutions when I found Mailersend. They came like a savior to help me. (Further I was able to connect my SMTP service with them that allowed me to use my own email tool instead of using another web based tool )
PROSEasy to setup. Inexpensive compared to Monkey (You know whom I am referring) and They are super nice when it comes to support. They come with a pay as you go model saving you from random costs for email marketing.
CONSI don't think I have explored this side of the house yet. Don't see any negatives about them so far. They come with a pay as you go that saves you from hassles.
Reasons for switching to MailerSend
They blocked me for no reason - Neither they provided a reason later. They are so shady that they don't allow you to send emails to your own valid email list (permission based)

Very bad customer experience
The customer service is terrible. I was able to use MailerSend in a project once; however, the two other projects where I recommended MailerSend received very bad treatment. The account was denied approval for no sensible reason, and one of them even got suspended. This is after effort had gone into integration with the applications being built. I have gone back to Postmark for my peace of mind
PROS- The UI is easy to understand. - The setup was a bit quick
