turboSMTP

turboSMTP is a cloud SMTP service for sending email messages and newsletters, with statistical analysis for individual and aggregate messages. Its SMTP API supports transactional messages such as login confirmations, welcome messages, and receipts from a website or app. The dashboard tracks clicks and opens in real time, while listed tools manage bounces, spam, and unsubscribes. Deliverability features include smart routing, custom tracking domains, and email validation before campaigns. An email marketing tool can design, send, and track campaigns using turboSMTP delivery infrastructure. The service lists SMTP relay, email templates, delivery event webhooks, and a dedicated IP option; inbound email is not supported. It offers a free plan allowing 200 emails per day for the first six months. Basic costs €14.95 a month for 15,000 emails per month; Pro costs €79.95 a month for the same send limit and up to 100 subaccounts. Other listed plans sell email credits, which expire one year after purchase. Platforms include Android, API, iOS, and web. The maker advertises 24/7 multilingual support by phone, chat, and email.
