What You Gain With Bitelio

Past the transactional layer

Marketing Campaigns

Reach every contact or just one segment with one-off broadcasts. Schedule them, measure them — none of which Mailgun provides.

Workflow Automation

Assemble sequences from triggers, wait steps, and conditions. Made for welcome series, drip nurtures, and cart-recovery emails.

Dynamic Segmentation

Segments rebuild themselves as contact attributes and behavior evolve, keeping your targeting sharp without manual list upkeep.

Unlimited Contacts

Bring your whole audience — every plan stores unlimited contacts, and your bill only reflects the emails you send.

EU-Hosted & GDPR-Compliant

EU infrastructure, GDPR-aligned processing, compliance from day one. Export everything through the API whenever you need to.

All-in-One Platform

Run transactional, marketing, and automated email from one place instead of juggling separate services and glue code.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose Mailgun over Bitelio?

Mailgun earns its place if advanced email validation matters to you, or you're pushing millions of messages a day and want a long-established infrastructure vendor with deep deliverability tooling. Bitelio is the better fit when you want campaigns, workflow automation, and transactional email running together on one platform.

What is the pricing difference between Bitelio and Mailgun?

Bitelio offers a free plan with 1,000 emails/month, Pro at $19/mo with 15,000 emails included, and Scale at $99/mo with 100,000 included. Beyond your allowance you pay a transparent $1.20 per extra 1,000 emails — no forced tier jumps. Every plan includes unlimited contacts, marketing campaigns, and workflow automation at no additional cost — with Mailgun, marketing requires separate tools.

How involved is migrating from Mailgun to Bitelio?

You'll need to rework your API calls, since Bitelio's endpoints and parameters differ from Mailgun's. The core concepts carry over cleanly, though — templates, webhooks, and custom domains behave similarly on both — and your existing email templates adapt with only minor tweaks. Expect a few hours of development time for the integration.

What does Bitelio add beyond transactional emails?

Campaigns for one-off broadcasts to your whole list or a chosen segment, automation for trigger-driven multi-step sequences with delays and conditions, and segmentation that keeps itself current as contact data and behavior change. The result: transactional and marketing email in a single product — with your data always yours, thanks to API access and one-click exports.
