SendGrail is a specialized WordPress plugin designed to solve the common problem of unreliable email delivery within the WordPress ecosystem. It acts as an intelligent bridge between your website and professional email sending services. It is a 100% free SMTP plugin that replaces the default (and often unreliable) PHP mail function used by WordPress. It offers: - Smart Routing & Multi-Provider Support - Automatic Failover - Real-Time Tracking & Logging - Secure Infrastructure
Hey Product Hunt 👋
We built SendGrail to send emails securely from our WordPress websites, and we were a little bit frustrated with the current state of WordPress SMTP plugins.
Most plugins solve the “emails not sending” problem… until you need something basic like Gmail, Outlook, email logs, routing, or fallback connections — and suddenly you hit a paywall.
We noticed something strange in the WordPress ecosystem: critical email delivery features were often locked behind expensive pro plans, even though reliable email delivery shouldn’t be a luxury feature.
So we asked ourselves:
“What if we built an SMTP plugin where the best features were free instead of hidden behind upgrades?”
That became SendGrail.
SendGrail is a completely free WordPress SMTP plugin with support for a huge number of providers and integrations, including Gmail, Outlook, Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Brevo, Resend, SMTP2Go, Zoho, and custom SMTP connections. It also includes features like email logs, routing, failover/fallback delivery, debug tools, and multisite support — all free.
During development, our process has evolved a lot.
Initially, we thought users only wanted “simple SMTP setup.” But then we realized reliability was the real problem.
If email delivery fails, businesses lose:
* password reset emails
* WooCommerce order notifications
* contact form submissions
* customer trust
So we focused heavily on:
* reliability
* provider flexibility
* fallback routing
* beginner-friendly onboarding
* developer-friendly controls
Another big decision:
We intentionally decided NOT to create a pro version.
No feature gating.
No “upgrade to unlock Gmail.”
No artificial limits.
Just a genuinely useful tool for the WordPress community.
Would love your feedback, feature requests, criticisms, or questions 🙌
