Here’s what our customers have said

We were using one of your competitors because they featured a freemium plan. However we were getting complaints on a weekly basis that emails weren’t reaching clients. […] Other than an edge case here or there, since switching to Postmark, our support tickets regarding email delivery have plummeted to zero. That alone makes Postmark worth its weight in gold.

Easy to set up. Great API. Rapid mail delivery and no spam issues. We moved from Mandrill because of terrible deliverability and am pleased to say it’s been well worthwhile....we’ve even saved money. Thanks Postmark Team….you rock!!

I don't plug products much, but good god damn @postmarkapp has made us very, very happy. An order of magnitude better than running our own mail.

We've architected our sending infrastructure to rely heavily on Postmark, and we couldn't be happier. They've been supportive at every step along the way, and have helped us to deliver (and report on) tremendous results for our clients.
