SMTP2GO: User reviews, pricing & features

SMTP2GO is an SMTP relay and transactional email delivery service. smtp2go.com served the delivery-service homepage directly when we verified it in August 2026, and all of its published prices are stated in USD.

At the 50,000-email step of its volume slider, Starter costs $30/month billed monthly ($25/month billed annually), with unlimited verified sender domains, up to 10 webhooks, and overage at $1.00 per 1,000 emails; a dedicated IP requires the Professional tier. The free plan sends 1,000 emails per month capped at 200 per day. Pricing checked 19 August 2026. The curve flattens with volume: Starter's $30/month at 50,000 emails gives way to Professional at $75/month for 100,000 and $280/month for 500,000 — third-cheapest in our capture at the top volume (multi-volume capture, 21 August 2026).

Scored 0–100 from public evidence: an official MCP server weighs most (40, +5 when hosted), then official agent skills, AI assistant apps, AI-friendly docs and built-in AI features. "Not found" means we couldn't locate it on SMTP2GO's public pages or the official MCP registry, not that it can't exist. This is context, never part of the Deliverability Score.
