What do you like best about Mailosaur?

Mailosaur is easy to use and works as a one-stop shop for our auth testing.

This is great that Mailosaur support both email and SMS testing.

When we compared it with competitors we could not find one that handle both SMS and email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailosaur?

Sometimes we encounter glitches in our CI/CD because the test could not read the message from the SMS/Email by using the Mailosaur API. I would like it to be more stable in this matter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailosaur solving and how is that benefiting you?

SMS number for messages testing (auth testing).

Email address for messages testing (auth testing).

By Mailosaur we can receive a US phone number which most of our customers live so this is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't really know. Haven't tried any competing products. I guess it could be cheaper or more seats be available in each tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailosaur solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to enter real email addresses in our tests to not be blocked from sending because of too high of a bounce rate. We also need to test that the email, Authenticator and sms related features in our product work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailosaur?

It's very easy to start using it, but if you can insert code and have sone technical skills it can get very deep and bring good insights.

Very cheap to start, even to just see how mails are received in different inboxes can be much more expensive in other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailosaur?

SMS testing is not as cheap and easy to start as emails. It just does what it does, you can't build or improve your mails here, it's just for testing and getting insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailosaur solving and how is that benefiting you?

Testing how mails are delivered and seen in different platforms and apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experince with mailosaur is not so good, our use case is we sent marketing emails to our subscribers but before active our campaign we need to test all link and attachments. In this case i think mailosaur is not usefull because why should we pay when all these features are available in free tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailosaur?

Not helpfull all tese features are available in free tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailosaur?

After hand-rolling a Python script and trying various email providers and APIs, Malosaur was a breath of fresh air.

It had a simple interface and was easy to implement, first in Postman and then in Cypress, as our automation suite matured and grew.

It runs in our CI/CD pipeline, confirming new user credentials are delivered.

In particular, the additional information they return about emails as separate JSON objects saved us a bunch of time and effort parsing the message body. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailosaur?

Having it be so useful to our processes that I pay for it out of pocket and our accounting team can't seem to figure out how to make it reimbursable? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailosaur solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us, having a REST endpoint to confirm that emails were being sent in a timely manner lifted a big burden from our overhead.

It was also great that Mailosaur parsed many fields (in particular, we were looking for a set password link) and made them easily searchable as JSON objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailosaur?

Mailosaur combines mail and sms api messages into one. In doing this, viewing a combined view of emails and text messages - and searching/retrieving messages standard and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailosaur?

The phone numbers provided by Mailosaur are not always easy/obvious to send SMS messages. For example, Vonage numbers may not necessarily be processed by all providers. This can lead you down rabbit holes trying to figure out why texts never came. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailosaur solving and how is that benefiting you?

By automating the email and sms process, Mailosaur solves a number of key automation steps in our end-to-end testing of Email OTP, SMS OTP, Reset Password, Magic Link Login, and new user email confirmation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Shared access to SMTP servers for service accounts and multiple team users to see email contents of a specific message.

What do you like best about Mailosaur?

After generating the apikey through the web portal, it took very little time to create a class object passing the search criteria for our specific needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailosaur?

The only downside setting up customized domains for our emails is complicated because of the security protocols in place at our company, but since the primary use is for test data, it's of little significance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailosaur solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a solution that could replace Gmail for generating unlimited emails for automated tests that run regularly. Also, we no longer see a high test failure rate from timeout or connection issues retrieving emails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
