Why teams switch
What you gain moving from Mailgun.
- SMS and WhatsApp from the same API, not a separate Sinch contract.
- A dedicated verification API built in.
- One shared wallet across channels instead of per-product billing.
- Local NGN pricing and support for African senders.
In fairness: Developer teams that want a flexible email API with granular routing and only need email.
