Sparkpost - 100,000 Emails/Month FREE .. What's the Catch?

[Direct Webstore]

Like the title says ... what's the catch. Sounds pretty good. But sometimes if something sounds too good to be true ... it's crap.

So ... is anyone using Sparkpost? And what do you think of it?

Now that I've tried it, I'll answer this myself. The catch? It's a pain in the arse to set up. I went with "Sendinblue" instead. Much less hassle.

I set it up on Sparkpost. I didn't have any problems.

Too long ago to remember all the details now as I was comparing several options at the same time, but I vaguely remember some hassle with having multiple sites and phone verifications. Sendiblue on the other hand welcomed me having multiple sites, no hassles at all, is free and had it set up in minutes.

i'm using sendinblue too , without problem . i guess they are the only service that provide multiple sites installation for free .

I just wasted a week setting up, verifying, DKIM, etc. Two test emails went no problem. After that: tested 3 abandoned cart sequences, all wont deliver. test emails don't deliver. I'm switching to sendinblue, thanks DWS .
