Can Bento fully replace SMTP2GO for my email sending?

Yes. Bento can act as your SMTP relay and API for transactional email while also handling marketing campaigns, automations, and customer messaging in the same platform.

Do I need a new sending domain when moving from SMTP2GO to Bento?

You can keep your existing domains if you verify them in Bento and update DNS records, although some teams use the migration as a chance to tidy up subdomains and naming.

What happens to my SMTP2GO bounce and suppression data?

You can export bounces and suppressions from SMTP2GO as CSV and import them into Bento's do-not-email list so you do not accidentally email bad or complaint-prone addresses.

How is Bento's pricing different from SMTP2GO?

SMTP2GO charges mainly by email volume and plan tier, while Bento charges per user with unlimited emails, often cheaper as you scale and you can reach out to our team for help on pricing anytime, with all features included from the start.

Will my developers have to rewrite our entire integration?

Most teams simply swap SMTP host credentials or update a few API endpoints and payloads. Bento provides SDKs, clear docs, and support to help you migrate integrations safely.
