I hesitate to write this, because there have been somany reports of the Mailgun Flex plan being gone that weren’t true.
But today, I tried it again.
First, although there was language about a free trial, it immediately charged my card. OK, well, maybe I missed a button or something.
But then, when I tried to downgrade it, it took me to a page with plans that did NOT include the Flex plan. (That’s different than a year ago, when you could choose to downgrade and actually get the Flex plan.)
So then I tried to cancel, so that I’d only be out $13 once instead of $15/month for this experiment. It again offered me a downgrade to Flex option ($1 per 1000 emails was specifically mentioned), but that link again took me to the page with no option to choose flex.
Maybe Mailgun’s just done some overhauling and this is a temporary hiccup?
I currently have a Flex plan account, and it’s still showing first 1k email free, like it always has (and hasn’t billed me anything), but it’s not clear to me today that there’s still a way to get to the Flex plan if you don’t already have it.
So… has anyone done so in the last month or three? I know it worked last year…
On the registration screen, through the price button, a Free plan appears. Limited to 100 emails per day. No credit card was requested. I will test for 30 days and report the results (If you want).
(Laughing) I tried really hard before posting to get downgraded, because people have reported problems before that weren’t there… and then mine wasn’t there either. Baffled.
I had no problem with downgrading; I just did it for fun, sure. When you download, it states Flex, then the plan actually starts on the next billing cycle. I spoke to customer service, and they said there are no issues as of our conversation on Friday. Our account is 24 months old.
