## Direct Answer
Use Mailgun for email delivery and Mailrith for the marketing workflow around it: subscribers, forms, broadcasts, sequences, automations, and reports.

- Keep Mailgun as the email delivery service you already trust.
- Use Mailrith to collect subscribers and decide who should receive each email.
- Keep service setup, limits, and delivery events visible instead of hidden inside a combined tool.

## Mailgun Handles Sending, But You Still Need A Marketing Workflow
A delivery connection is only one part of email marketing. You still need a clean place to collect subscribers, organize them, write campaigns, automate follow-up, and stop emailing people who should not receive more mail.

- **Sender Setup Is Separate:** Verify the Mailgun sending domain, choose the correct US or EU region, and create an API key.
- **Subscriber Work Has To Live Somewhere:** Forms, landing pages, tags, custom fields, segments, unsubscribes, and imports need a clear home.
- **Service Limits Still Matter:** Your email delivery service can still have sending limits, approval rules, domain requirements, and policy checks.

## Why Mailrith Works Well With Mailgun
Mailrith lets you keep the email delivery service you chose while giving you one clear place for email marketing work.

- **One Subscriber Workflow:** Manage subscribers, tags, fields, forms, landing pages, broadcasts, sequences, and automations in Mailrith.
- **Visible Email Delivery Service:** Your Mailgun account stays responsible for sending, so service setup and delivery events stay visible.
- **Service Choice:** If your needs change later, the marketing workflow can stay in Mailrith while the delivery connection changes.

## What You Can Build With Mailrith And Mailgun
The usual setup is simple: Mailrith manages the marketing work, and the email delivery service sends the email.

1. Verify the Mailgun sending domain, choose the correct US or EU region, and create an API key.
2. Create a Mailrith email delivery connection for Mailgun.
3. Set webhook routing so Mailrith receives bounces, complaints, and other delivery events.
4. Create a hosted form or landing page and tag new subscribers by source or interest.
5. Send the first broadcast or sequence to a small, engaged segment before increasing volume.

## The Simple Cost Logic
Your Mailrith plan covers email marketing. Mailgun is the email delivery service and handles its own sending costs, limits, and account rules. That split makes both costs easier to understand.

Use this as a quick estimate of what Mailgun may charge to send 1,000, 10,000, 50,000, and 100,000 emails in a month.

## What To Be Honest About
- **Mailgun Still Needs Care:** Mailgun provides flexible sending infrastructure, but you still need clean domain setup, permission-based subscribers, and careful volume management.
- **Deliverability Is Shared Work:** Mailrith gives the workflow, but inbox results still depend on permission, sender setup, list quality, content, sending pace, and recipient behavior.

## Who This Helps
- You already use Mailgun, or you want to use it as the email delivery service for marketing email.
- You want a hosted email marketing platform instead of building forms, lists, campaigns, unsubscribes, and reports yourself.
- You want to keep Mailrith pricing and email delivery costs separate.

## When Another Tool May Fit Better
- You want Mailgun or Mailjet to manage the full campaign editor, subscribers, and marketing suite.
- You do not want to manage sender setup, connection details, domain authentication, or delivery events.
- You want one company to manage the email app, sending, delivery support, and billing together.

## What To Check Before Using Mailgun
- **Sender Setup:** Verify the Mailgun sending domain, choose the correct US or EU region, and create an API key.
- **Credentials:** Create credentials for the Mailrith connection and keep them limited to the access Mailrith needs.
- **Event Feedback:** Set webhook routing so Mailrith receives bounces, complaints, and other delivery events.
- **First Send Plan:** Start with a smaller engaged segment, then increase volume only when bounces, complaints, and unsubscribes look healthy.

## Common Mistakes To Avoid With Mailgun
- **Using The Wrong Region Or Domain:** Mailgun setup depends on the region and sending domain you choose. Check the selected region and sending domain before you troubleshoot the campaign tool.
- **Skipping The Test Send:** Send a test through the same delivery connection you will use for the real campaign, not through a separate inbox.
- **Ignoring Service Limits:** Check account approval, sending speed, daily limits, domain status, and service rules before planning a launch.

## How Mailrith Fits
Mailrith gives Mailgun a practical marketing layer: subscribers, fields, tags, segments, forms, landing pages, broadcasts, sequences, automations, and reporting.

- Create a workspace for the brand, product, or client that will send through Mailgun.
- Use Mailrith forms and landing pages to collect subscribers before sending.
- Send broadcasts and sequences through the Mailgun connection you control.
- Keep the marketing workflow separate from service limits and delivery billing.

## Decision Table
| Criteria | Mailrith | Other Common Approach |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Delivery Control | Mailrith keeps Mailgun visible as the email delivery service, so you can track your Mailrith plan and sending costs separately. | A combined email platform may be easier to start with, but the email delivery service is usually less visible. |
| Subscriber Workflow | Mailrith manages subscribers, tags, fields, segments, forms, landing pages, campaigns, and automations. | Using only an email delivery service may leave you building or joining together the marketing workflow yourself. |
| Service Limits | Your Mailgun setup, account rules, domain status, and sending limits still matter. | A combined platform may hide more of this work, which can help until you need to understand a delivery problem. |
| Best Fit | Mailgun is a good fit for teams that already use it for application or bulk email and want a simpler marketing workspace. | Teams that want one platform to manage every sending and marketing decision may prefer a combined email tool. |
