Key Differences: SuperSend vs Mailgun
All-in-One Cold Email Platform
SuperSend Relay combines enterprise email infrastructure with a complete sequencing platform, LinkedIn automation, and campaign management. Mailgun is just email infrastructure — you need to build sequencing, campaign management, and multi-channel tools yourself.
Cold Email Built-In
SuperSend is purpose-built for cold email outreach at enterprise scale (1M+ emails/month). Mailgun is designed for transactional and marketing emails, not cold outreach campaigns.
Zero Technical Setup
SuperSend Relay activates in 24 hours with dedicated support — everything handled automatically. Mailgun requires extensive technical setup: domain configuration, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, API integration, and custom development for sequencing.
Multi-Channel Included
SuperSend includes LinkedIn automation and unified sequences across email + LinkedIn. Mailgun is email-only, requiring separate tools and additional development for multi-channel outreach.
Full API + Complete Platform
SuperSend offers full REST API access (like Mailgun) for programmatic control, but optimized for cold email workflows. Plus you get the complete sequencing platform — use API-only, UI-only, or both together.
Mailgun Advantage
Mailgun offers flexible API access for developers building custom email solutions. It handles high-volume sending (15M emails/hour) and provides granular control for technical teams.
