| Funzionalità | Bird | Mailgun | Chi vince? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Invio transazionale API | Bird’s TypeScript SDK accepts JSON payloads, throws typed errors by default, and offers a result-tuple mode for explicit error branching. | Mailgun’s JavaScript SDK and Messages API submit multipart form-data payloads scoped to a sending domain. | |
| Relay SMTP | Bird SMTP supports implicit TLS on port 465 and STARTTLS on ports 587 and 2525, authenticated with your standard workspace API key. | Mailgun SMTP supports implicit TLS on port 465 and STARTTLS on ports 25, 587, and 2525 using per-domain SMTP credentials. | |
| Validazione degli indirizzi email | Bird email lookup verifies single addresses in real time, returning a deliverability verdict, confidence score, address risk flags, and typo suggestions. | Mailgun Validate supports both real-time single-address checks and bulk validation of uploaded address lists. | |
| Idempotenza sull'invio | Bird retains completed send responses for 3 hours so retried requests with the same key never duplicate an email. | Mailgun’s inbox-placement test key deduplicates seed-list placement tests rather than deduplicating customer email sends. | |
| Conservazione dei messaggi archiviati | Bird stores rendered message bodies for up to 30 days when content storage is enabled. | Mailgun’s published plans include 1 day of message body storage on Foundation and up to 7 days on Scale, tracked separately from event log retention. | |

| Caselle di posta | Bird’s agent mailboxes provide programmable inboxes, conversation threads, quote-stripped replies, and sender rules. | Mailgun Routes match incoming mail with recipient and header regex filters and trigger forward, store, or stop actions. | |
| Strumenti per agenti | Bird’s hosted MCP server exposes 354 tools, and the Bird CLI manages domains, templates, webhooks, and sends with structured JSON output and semantic exit codes. | Mailgun’s open-source MCP server runs locally to send mail, inspect stored messages, and manage domains, routes, templates, and deliverability without a hosted endpoint. |

Costo di migrazione
Cosa comporta una migrazione da Mailgun?
Start by mapping Mailgun’s multipart form parameters and recipient variables to Bird’s JSON send payload and batch entries. Verify your sending domains in Bird and export each Mailgun domain’s bounces, spam complaints, and unsubscribes into Bird’s workspace suppression list using our Mailgun migration guide.
Next, update Mailgun’s HMAC webhook verification to use Standard Webhooks, and map Mailgun’s temporary vs. permanent failure events to Bird’s deferred and bounced webhook events. Test your handlers in Bird’s mail sandbox before switching live traffic, and allow time for automated warm-up on new dedicated IPs.
Mettilo in pratica.
