About Mailercloud
What is Mailercloud?
Mailercloud is an all-in-one email marketing platform that combines campaign management with a proprietary SMTP relay, so you don't need a separate sending service. It solves the problem of low email deliverability and complex automation by providing built-in inbox tracking, behaviour-triggered sequences, and a drag-and-drop editor with 400+ templates. The platform is trusted by 24,000+ businesses and delivers 6 billion emails per month.
Who is it for?
Mailercloud is designed for solopreneurs, creators, e-commerce stores (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento), B2B SaaS startups, and agencies managing multiple clients. It's best for those who want a single platform for both marketing and transactional emails, with a free tier that scales. It may not suit enterprises needing advanced customisation beyond the Enterprise plan.
Real use cases
E-commerce stores run abandoned cart recovery and post-purchase flows. B2B SaaS companies drive product-led growth with lifecycle automation. Creators launch newsletters for free, then upgrade Premium for AI subject lines and AMP emails. Agencies white-label reports and manage bulk automation across clients. For transactional emails, pair with Mailercloud Email API from the same account.
