Postmark is a really great service and gets the job done when delivering emails to our recipients. There are almost never any hiccups (i.e. emails getting blocked like some other delivery services). We're better able to provide website maintenance and hosting PLUS email delivery services, which is a great one-stop shop feature for clients.
Some advice I would give to those on the fence is trying the free trial of Postmark to see if it's a good fit for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price isn't as competitive as other options, which can sometimes be an issue dealing with clients. The training opportunities are also minimal if you don't know where to start, which can sometimes be an issue.
The biggest dislike from a technical standpoint is there isn't an archiving option. Some clients like this feature when working with us, so that's one thing that can have us looking at other transactional email services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like about this code ask type of thing is the simplicity of the pricing the way that I can customize my emails to other customers I have in my email list. I also like when I can have a clear and cut results and analyze those results through the email I find that very useful.as someone that uses code through email I find it really intuitive that I can use some of the skills that I learned and put in an application that can really make a difference in my email campaigns.

the downsides I would say is it's kind of pricey and I do not like the monthly recurring charging it is nice on the other hand to have monthly pricing that's clear but it is still very expensive. Also I find it that code is very hard to learn for someone that that is knowledgeable or not knowledgeable of code so you have to have that in mind when using this software for sure and I didn't know that when I first started but I had learned.

- Wildbit is top notch, and this another of their 10/10 products.
- Support is fast, friendly, and helpful
- Delivery is super consistent since they handle transactional email primarily; you're treated differently in the inbox vs other providers where you are mixed in with marketing messages
- They monitor inbox speed which I've not seen other providers do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Managing multiple accounts can be a pain. We implement postmark probably once a month for a client, and we need a separate login for each of those. They do have multi user support, but one user can only be associated with one account currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We moved our transactional email services from another provider, the ability to create templates with the ease of integration (and generated code for each template) made this an easy move, delivery of emails also increased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Postmark was slightly more expensive than our previous provider, but technical support and delivery was improved, so still worth the value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The focus on transactional-only email and high deliverability is awesome; most small senders don't have the volume to justify the dedicated IPs every other transactional email provider seems to be pushing.
The UI is nice. Documentation is good and API is easy to use. No complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price is high and there's no free starter/low-volume plan. If slightly better deliverability is not critical for your use case, look elsewhere for more competitively priced solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Allows me to verify that emails are being to sent to users of our product, or what the issue is if they are not receiving emails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Searching back a long amount of time can be difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The validation process seems excessive at the start, but once you see the >1% bounce rate, you understand why they do it to keep the IP pools squeaky clean. They have amazing customer service skills, I feel like they are a part of my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't have much to dislike at all. The only thing is that I mentioned to one of the reps about the Live Chat not working in the logged in menu, so I have to go to a different page where I know it's working to pull up live chat if I want to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Once you set it up, it will work just fine. It really helped us grow our business. We don't need to worry about maintaining and upgrading our email tool - Postmark does it all for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing we could really complain about. Maybe email open rates could have been higher, but they aren't really responsible for that ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We used Postmark for all of our transactional email, and we've found them extremely simple to use. Their integration with Heroku as well as a wide variety of language-specific libraries has made it very quick to get up and running with them. For most transactional email, implementing Postmark sending in an app is nearly a one-liner, which is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've found their web-dashboard to be a little less than clear on some data, but much of this could be my own inexperience with the UI (which I've used very little). It's possible that their pricing becomes expensive at high volumes, but we haven't experienced this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Postmark has a clear API, a well designed site, and I trust that they're going to be around in 5 years time because they aren't chasing rocket ship growth. Their emails are fast to be delivered and they really focus on deliverability which is why we chose them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I dislike and it's not even a big deal is that their templates are linked to an email server, rather than being global to the account. This means you can't use a template from a dev server against the production server. It's an extremely minor point though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Postmark has been simple and reliable in the 2+ years I've used them. Their API has a fast response time and their batch send calls has been helpful in maintaining a quick response time on our service. They've also been generous in giving us free credits from time to time. They provide webhooks for events you are interested in e.g. bounced emails, spam reports. Their documentation is extensive and comprehensive and also includes libraries for several languages (we use them with python and php). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the new features Postmark has added aren't as simple as their first product, especially the email templates. Their admin interface also is weird in that it only lets you look at 30 day periods for statistics (we track our own analytics so it's less of an issue for us).

Postmark sends my transactional email. They know their tools and they do their job right. I can focus on my product knowing that emails are going to get sent. Cost is more than reasonable and email tagging and activity reporting allows me to visually check what exactly was sent to whom. Support is also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing to dislike. I even wouldn't prefer the service to be free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Postmark is very easy to use. You can implement it easily using either SMTP or API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Set up is a bit annoying. They won't let you do anything unless you've confirmed certain things. We just wanted to do basic sandbox style testing but needed to get our dns records all sorted out first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works. Their API is easy-to-use and we never experienced any downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price is too high for what we get. Also their administration panel and Analytics graphs are not user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
