Comparison

Veil Mail vs Mailgun

Veil Mail is a modern alternative to Mailgun built around a developer-first API — with PII protection, CASL compliance, marketing campaigns, and automation that Mailgun does not offer out of the box.

Side-by-side: sending an email

Mailgun

import formData from 'form-data'
import Mailgun from 'mailgun.js'

const mailgun = new Mailgun(formData)
const mg = mailgun.client({ username: 'api', key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY! })

await mg.messages.create('yourdomain.com', {
  from: 'hello@yourdomain.com',
  to: 'user@example.com',
  subject: 'Welcome!',
  html: '<h1>Welcome</h1>',
})

Veil Mail

import { VeilMail } from '@resonia/veilmail-sdk'

const client = new VeilMail('veil_live_xxxxx')

await client.emails.send({
  from: 'hello@yourdomain.com',
  to: 'user@example.com',
  subject: 'Welcome!',
  html: '<h1>Welcome</h1>',
})

Feature comparison

What Veil Mail offers that Mailgundoesn't

• Full marketing stack. Campaigns with A/B testing, automation sequences, segmentation, and subscription topics. Mailgun is primarily transactional with limited marketing features.
• Automatic PII protection. Every outgoing email is scanned for SSNs, credit cards, medical records, and other sensitive data before delivery.
• CASL & GDPR compliance. Built-in consent tracking with expiry management, subscription topics, and compliant unsubscribe pages.
• React Email adapter. Mailgun has no React Email integration. Veil Mail ships an official adapter.
• Email validation included. Mailgun charges extra for list validation. Veil Mail includes it at no additional cost.
• Modern SDK surface. A simple, typed REST client across 12 languages. Mailgun's Node SDK still requires manual form-data wrapping.
