# MyAgentMail vs AgentMail

[AgentMail](https://agentmail.to) (agentmail.to) is another email API built for AI agents. On the surface, the two platforms look similar — both offer REST APIs, IMAP/SMTP, custom domains, and real-time events. But there are meaningful differences in pricing, architecture, and feature depth.

Here's a detailed breakdown.

## Quick summary

| | MyAgentMail | AgentMail |
|---|---|---|
| **REST API** | Yes | Yes |
| **IMAP + SMTP** | Yes | Yes |
| **Custom domains** | Any TLD, any DNS provider | Yes |
| **Multi-tenancy** | Workspaces with scoped keys | Pods with scoped keys |
| **WebSocket** | Yes | Yes |
| **Webhooks** | Yes | Yes |
| **Threading** | Yes | Yes |
| **Drafts** | Yes | Yes |
| **MCP server** | Yes | Yes |
| **SDKs** | TypeScript | TypeScript + Python |

Both platforms cover the core feature set. The differences are in pricing, limits, and extras.

## Pricing comparison

### MyAgentMail

| Plan | Price | Inboxes | Emails/mo | Custom domains |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $5/mo | 2 | 6,000 | 2 |
| Developer | $15/mo | 10 | 20,000 | 10 |
| Startup | $199/mo | 200 | 150,000 | 200 |

All plans include a 7-day free trial.

### AgentMail

| Plan | Price | Inboxes | Emails/mo | Custom domains |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 3 | 3,000 (100/day cap) | 0 |
| Developer | $20/mo | 10 | 10,000 | 10 |
| Startup | $200/mo | 150 | 150,000 | 150 |

### Price per unit

At the **Developer** tier:

| Metric | MyAgentMail ($15/mo) | AgentMail ($20/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per inbox | $1.50 | $2.00 |
| Cost per 1,000 emails | $0.75 | $2.00 |
| Custom domains included | 10 | 10 |

MyAgentMail's Developer plan is **25% cheaper** with **2x the email volume** (20,000 vs 10,000).

At the **Startup** tier, both are nearly identical in price ($199 vs $200). MyAgentMail includes 200 inboxes and 200 custom domains vs AgentMail's 150 of each.

### Free tier

AgentMail offers a free tier with 3 inboxes and 3,000 emails/mo (capped at 100/day). MyAgentMail does not have a permanent free tier but offers a 7-day free trial on all paid plans.

If you need to prototype without a credit card, AgentMail has an edge here. If you're building something real, the trial period is usually enough to validate.

## Feature comparison

### Inbox provisioning

Both platforms let you create inboxes programmatically via API. Both assign real email addresses that can send and receive.

### Custom domains

Both support custom domains with automated DKIM, SPF, and DMARC configuration. MyAgentMail explicitly supports any TLD and any DNS provider.

### Multi-tenancy

**MyAgentMail** uses workspaces. Each workspace gets isolated inboxes, API keys, and custom domains. Designed for SaaS platforms.

**AgentMail** uses pods. Similar concept — data isolation across tenants with scoped API keys.

Both approaches solve the same problem. The implementation is comparable.

### Threading and drafts

Both platforms support email threading and a full drafts API for human-in-the-loop workflows.

### Real-time events

Both offer **WebSocket** connections for live inbox events and **webhooks** for async notifications.

AgentMail documents specific webhook event types: `message.received`, `message.sent`, `message.delivered`, `message.bounced`, `message.complained`, `message.rejected`, and domain verification events.

### Bounce handling

**MyAgentMail** has built-in bounce rate monitoring with automatic agent pausing above thresholds (2% bounce rate, 0.1% complaint rate), disposable domain filtering, and account-level suppression lists.

**AgentMail** documents bounce detection and diagnostics, plus webhook events for bounces and complaints. They also offer domain warming guidance.

### Deliverability

**MyAgentMail** includes MX validation before sending, verified-recipient enforcement, and pre-send guardrails to protect sending reputation.

**AgentMail** offers dedicated IPs from the Startup tier and automatic spam/virus scanning on inbound email.

### SDKs and integrations

**MyAgentMail** ships a CLI (`myagentmail-cli` — Stripe-style browser pairing for first-run auth, plus `mcp install` to auto-wire every MCP host on the machine in one command), a TypeScript SDK, and an MCP server. Three on-ramps so the right interface fits the runtime: terminal-based agents and CI scripts use the CLI, MCP-host agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline) use the server, code-writing agents import the SDK.

**AgentMail** has TypeScript and Python SDKs, plus integrations with Google ADK, OpenClaw, LiveKit Agents, Replit, and a CLI tool. If you're building in Python, AgentMail has a native SDK.

### Security and compliance

**AgentMail** advertises SOC 2 Type I/II compliance from the Startup tier and offers EU cloud deployment and SSO (OIDC/SAML) at the Enterprise level.

**MyAgentMail** does not currently advertise SOC 2 certification.

### Access control

**AgentMail** offers fine-grained API key permissions restricting access to specific resources and operations, plus allowlists/blocklists for sender and recipient domains.

**MyAgentMail** uses three scoped key types (`sa_` for tenant management, `tk_` for inbox management, `ak_` for message operations) providing role-based access out of the box.

## Where MyAgentMail wins

- **Lower price** at the Developer tier ($15 vs $20) with 2x email volume (20,000 vs 10,000)
- **More inboxes and domains** at the Startup tier (200 vs 150)
- **Built-in abuse prevention** with automatic pause on high bounce/complaint rates
- **Simpler key model** with purpose-scoped keys (`sa_`, `tk_`, `ak_`)

## Where AgentMail wins

- **Free tier** with no credit card required
- **Python SDK** in addition to TypeScript
- **More integrations** (Google ADK, LiveKit, Replit, CLI)
- **SOC 2 compliance** for enterprise buyers
- **Dedicated IPs** from the Startup tier

## Summary

These two platforms are the closest competitors in the "email for AI agents" space. The core feature set is nearly identical — REST API, IMAP/SMTP, custom domains, multi-tenancy, WebSocket, webhooks, threading, and drafts.

The decision often comes down to:

- **Budget-conscious at scale?** MyAgentMail is cheaper at Developer and Startup tiers with more generous limits.
- **Need a free tier to prototype?** AgentMail.
- **Building in Python?** AgentMail has a native SDK.
- **Want built-in deliverability guardrails?** MyAgentMail's abuse prevention is more opinionated out of the box.

Both are solid choices. Try both and see which API experience you prefer.
