MailParse vs Mailparser

MailParse receives inbound email and converts MIME messages into structured JSON. It extracts text and HTML bodies, inline images, attachments, headers, and routing details, including nested and multipart messages. Parsed results can be sent by POST to a configured webhook, with exponential-backoff retries and HMAC signature verification, or retrieved through a REST polling API. Polling supports filters for sender, date range, subject, and attachment type, with cursor-based pagination. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation, spam scoring, and per-address rules support message handling. Attachments use signed download URLs and are retained for 72 hours by default, with plan-based retention settings. Custom domains require an MX record and ownership verification. If a webhook is unavailable, retries continue for up to 24 hours, with replay and polling recovery. MailParse offers API and web access. Free includes 100 emails monthly; Pro costs $29 per month and Scale $99 per month.

Mailparser is a cloud service that extracts structured data from recurring emails and sends it to other applications or downloadable files. Its web tool can generate parsing rules by analyzing email structure, while custom rules can read subjects, headers, bodies, sender and recipient fields, and attachments. Results can be downloaded as XLS, CSV, JSON, or XML. Users can reformat data, restructure fields, calculate sums, minimums, and maximums, and add calculated columns. Listed connections include Salesforce, Slack, QuickBooks Online, Google Sheets, and HTTP webhooks, with API access available. Supported attachments include CSV, XLSX, DOCX, PDF, and TXT; images and scanned documents are not supported. Mailparser says transfers are encrypted, passwords are one-way hashed, and staff access data only when assistance is requested. The 30-day free trial includes 30 credits. Starter monthly billing costs $29.95 a month for 250 emails and 20 inboxes.
