When teams leave Mailgun routes
Mailgun inbound routes are capable, but Scale-tier pricing and US-first compliance push EU inbound-only workloads elsewhere. ReceiveHQ is inbound-focused with agent-native MCP.
- No outbound volume required to unlock inbound
- Hosted in Germany — hosting declaration
- Blackhole + webhook endpoints; agents use
list_messages
Multipart form parity
Use the Mailgun/SendGrid format on each endpoint. Field reference: Webhook API docs.
Pricing contrast (approx.)
Mailgun Scale with inbound routes often starts near ~$90/month at 100k email volume. ReceiveHQ includes 100,000 inbound emails for €10/month, then €10 per additional 100k. Confirm current Mailgun pricing before you migrate.
How to migrate
- Sign up at receivehq.com or follow the MCP signup guide.
- Create a domain + Mailgun/SendGrid-format webhook; set MX to
mx.receivehq.com. - Leave your existing route URL and auth unchanged.
- Compare a production-like message against your Mailgun handler expectations.
