Sure the marginal cost of sending another email might be zero. But typically you price based on what people are willing to pay -- not based on costs.


I may have confused you. I mean who cares if you have to pay for mail gun, it’s basically free.


I thought you were referring to Mailgun.

I thought you were saying that since Mailgun has customers, and has built their email infrastructure already, the cost of providing a free service to people who aren't using the tool much is zero.

Thanks for clarifying.


Yeah I see how it sounded that way. Right the reverse is true, they are charging so little that if you have a customer it’s still almost free.
