Mailtrap is a cloud-based email delivery platform developed by Railsware, a software company headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine. The service provides infrastructure for transactional and marketing emails, as well as bulk email sending and includes tools for monitoring deliverability and authentication. Mailtrap operates as a software as a service (SaaS) platform used by developers and product teams to manage and analyze email workflows.[1][2][3][4][5]

History

Mailtrap originated as an internal project within Railsware and evolved into an independent SaaS platform focused on email delivery and infrastructure.[3]

According to Railsware, the product was built as part of a broader effort to create scalable internal tools that could later serve external clients.[2]

By the early 2020s, Mailtrap had expanded its capabilities to include email API and SMTP services for production environments, becoming one of the key products in Railsware's SaaS portfolio.[6]

Services

Mailtrap facilitates the delivery of transactional and bulk emails through an API or SMTP relay. It supports authentication protocols such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and includes analytics tools for monitoring message performance and deliverability.[7]

The platform also provides an email sandbox for inspecting and validating emails generated in development or staging, allowing users to review formatting, spam scores, and message integrity without sending emails to actual recipients.[8]

Reception

Mailtrap has been reviewed by independent technology and marketing publications.[9]

A 2025 review by Woodpecker Blog described it as a reliable and accessible service for developers and product teams managing transactional emails.[7]

Email Deliverability Report rated Mailtrap's overall performance and deliverability score among the highest in its category, citing its security practices and scalability.[10]

In an industry comparison by Knock magazine, Mailtrap was included among the ten most notable transactional email services for developers.[11] The platform has also been mentioned by Windsor.ai and Folderly in comparative reviews of email infrastructure tools.[12][13]
