Pepipost (Netcore) Review — Honest Pros, Cons & Pricing (2026)

Category: Transactional email delivery API

Also known as: Pepipost(Netcore), pepipost(netcore), pepipost (netcore).

Overview

Pepipost, now part of the Netcore Cloud platform, is a transactional email delivery API focused on delivering order confirmations, password resets, invoices, and other triggered emails. The platform competes with SendGrid, Mailgun, and Amazon SES in the transactional email space. Pepipost offers competitive per-email pricing with a focus on delivery speed and inbox placement for transactional messages. The API is straightforward to integrate and the documentation is solid. Cold emailers should note that Pepipost is strictly for transactional and marketing email. Using it for cold outreach will result in account termination. The platform monitors sending patterns and will flag cold email behavior quickly.

Pricing

$25/mo (150,000 emails) to $445/mo (1,000,000+ emails). Pay-as-you-go options available. Free tier: 30,000 emails for first 30 days.
