Compare / Maildrive
The pipe, plus the campaign, plus the record.
Mailgun Scale is $90/mo for 100,000 emails — SMTP and an API, not a campaign tool. Maildrive on Desk includes 100,000 sends at $79/mo with segments, drips and the contact timeline. You are not buying a pipe and then building the rest.
The point of switching is a better relationship with each customer — AI that stays on a leash, outcomes you can see, people who don’t have to repeat themselves.
