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

Planoly

  • The free mobile app tier is limited to 10 uploads per month, too low for active accounts.
  • Additional social sets and team seats require paid add-ons rather than being included at higher volumes.
  • Auto-posting to some platforms requires a push notification and manual tap to finish publishing rather than being fully automatic.
  • Advanced monetization and automation features are gated behind paid plans with no lower-cost equivalent.
