The short version

Only Mailgun has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Mailgun free tier limited to 100 emails per day, restricting high-volume use cases; Swydo pricing by data source punishes agencies with many small clients: forty clients on two connections each costs more than the headline EUR 69 suggests, and the per-source rate only starts falling after ten sources.

Where each one falls short

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

Mailgun

Free tier limited to 100 emails per day, restricting high-volume use cases
Log retention minimal on lower tiers (1 day on Free and Basic plans)
Add-on pricing for email validations and extra emails can accumulate quickly for high-traffic users

Swydo

Pricing by data source punishes agencies with many small clients: forty clients on two connections each costs more than the headline EUR 69 suggests, and the per-source rate only starts falling after ten sources.
There is no data warehouse or SQL layer, so any calculation the interface does not offer natively cannot be built, and complex attribution reporting has to happen elsewhere.
Historical data lives with the connection, so removing a departed client destroys the reporting history for that account unless it was exported first.
The connector list is around forty sources and skews to mainstream ad platforms, so agencies serving niche verticals with bespoke platforms will still need manual data entry or Google Sheets bridges.
Report design is template-driven rather than free-form, so agencies that sell on the polish of their deliverables often find they cannot match a designed InDesign or Canva output.
