Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Mailgun

  • Free plan caps at 100 emails per day
  • Basic plan starts at $15/mo for 10,000 emails then overages from $1.80 per 1,000; Foundation and Scale plans discount overage rates but still meter every email beyond the included volume
  • Foundation ($35/mo) and Scale ($90/mo) plans are free for the first month only, then bill at full price

Opus Clip

  • Free tier severely limited at 60 minutes per month; approximately 2-4 clips for typical videos
  • Watermark on free tier reduces output quality for serious creators
  • B-roll generation limited to 3 clips per month even on Pro tier
  • AI caption accuracy at 97%, not 100%; occasional human review needed
