Mailgun Flex plan deprecated

[slc16]

I discovered today that the Mailgun Flex plan has been deprecated, and the new lowest tier is $15 / month:

As the clients I build Ghost sites for are mostly artists and nonprofits who value a free plan, this means I have to pause all work, as $15/month for these folks just for mail is a complete nonstarter.

Is there currently a way to change Ghost’s mail provider? How can I help make this feature a reality?

Update: the Flex plan is still available, but in an extremely dark pattern:

1. You have to be on a paid plan or a trial of the paid plan
2. Go to Settings > Manage Account > Begin Cancellation

And only once you threaten account cancelation does the Flex option get offered. Sigh.

Thanks a lot, this worked after purchasing foundation 50k plan for the remaining 5 days of the month (5$) and immediately cancelling and follow the “Begin cancellation” pattern!
