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

Sitebulb

  • Desktop plans are limited to a single user, so teams need Sitebulb Cloud or paid add-on seats to collaborate.
  • Large sites near or above the 500,000 URL Pro limit require reconfiguration or the Cloud tier to avoid hitting crawl caps.
  • Desktop crawling relies on local machine resources, so audit speed and scale depend on the user's hardware rather than cloud infrastructure.
