This is super frustrating.
I was using Mandrill which changed their pricing, so Sparkpost had a great offer for new users. Then they had such a terrible bait and switch [0].
I then did hours of research and switched to mailgun only to now need to find a new provider again. (I don't blame Mailgun here, it's not like they made an explicit promise "this won't ever go away").
I'm not opposed to paying for usage, but my app is entirely seasonal so I only send emails about 4 months out of the year, and I don't want to pay monthly when it's not in use.

- rcfox 7y agoI feel like you just read the headline and not the email in the body. The email quoted is all about their pay-per-use model.
- illnewsthat 7y agoSorry I should have clarified, I was previously on their pay-per-use model with 10k included. Yes, it is nice they are still providing a pay as you go model, but it is frustrating to have another plan change and increase my cost.
