# All-in-one alternative for Mailgun

Mailgun stops at transactional delivery. Bitelio builds campaigns, workflow automation, and segmentation on top of it — a single platform with a real free plan and unlimited contacts at every tier.

## Why teams choose Bitelio

### 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.

## FAQ

### 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.
