Gravity SMTP: Send WordPress Emails with Confidence!

Gravity SMTP is the latest new product from the team behind Gravity Forms.

From password reset emails to new user registrations, form notifications, and more, most WordPress sites need to send a lot of transactional emails. With Gravity SMTP, you can send all your WordPress emails via trusted email service providers, significantly improving email deliverability rates.

Up until now, Gravity SMTP has only been available to anyone with an active Gravity Forms Elite license. Today we’re delighted to roll out Gravity SMTP to more of our Gravity community – including all customers who hold a Developer or Nonprofit license.

Built-in Email Service Integrations

With Gravity SMTP you’re able to send WordPress emails out of the box, via SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Brevo, Outlook / Microsoft 365, Gmail / Google Workspace, and Amazon SES. Additionally you can connect with other SMTP and API-based services via our Custom SMTP feature.

Here’s a quick overview of each of these services…

• SendGrid – Send at scale with Twilio SendGrid, boasting an industry-leading 99% deliverability rate. SendGrid offers both a free-forever plan of 100 emails a day, and, if you need to exceed that limit, a selection of preset pricing plans, starting at $19.95 per month for up to 50,000 emails.
• Brevo – Confidently send transactional emails with Brevo, formerly Sendinblue. With an impressive free plan, Brevo allows you to send up to 300 transactional emails a day! And for those who need to send more, simply pay for what you send.
• Postmark – Owned by ActiveCampaign, Postmark is a popular email-sending service with an impressive reputation for reliability and deliverability. Postmark offers a free plan that allows you to send up to 100 emails a month. Over 100, prices vary depending on the number of emails sent.
• Mailgun – A transactional email service, Mailgun provides industry-leading reliability, compliance, and speed. Offering a 30-day trial, Mailgun’s premium service starts at $35 a month, which allows you to send up to 50,000 emails.
• Outlook / Microsoft 365 – Using Microsoft 365 / Outlook you can send up to 10,000 emails per day (technically, per rolling 24-hour period), although Microsoft does throttle the amount of emails your site can send in a short period, at around 30 emails per minute.
• Gmail / Google Workspace – With Gmail / Google Workspace, you’ll find different email sending limits depending on the type of account. With a free Gmail account, you can send up to 500 emails per day, whereas a paid Google Workspace account will allow up to 2,000 emails per day.
• Amazon SES – Amazon SES is well known for its reliability and impressive pricing. A pay-as-you-go service, based on the volume of emails sent and received, there are no subscriptions and no minimum charges. Head on over to Amazon’s site to get a full rundown of Amazon SES pricing.
