Marketing too
Workflows, AI, segments — SparkPost is transactional-only.

BYO AWS SES eliminates the per-email markup.
Self-serve onboarding
First workflow in an hour. No sales call required.

Common migration questions
Does Mailazy support SparkPost's subaccounts?
Yes — we call them workspaces. Each gets isolated reputation tracking, sending domains, and billing. Use them for staging, multi-brand, or agency setups.
Will my A/B tests transfer?
A/B test definitions don't auto-import (every platform structures these differently), but we provide a guided rebuild. Most setups take 15 minutes per test.
Are SparkPost templates compatible?
Yes. Paste raw HTML or import via API. Substitution syntax converts automatically — {{var}} works as-is.
What about IP warm-up?
Dedicated IPs include 30-day warm-up automation on Marketing+ tiers. New IPs ramp 0 → full volume safely.
Is there SOC 2 / GDPR coverage?
Yes — SOC 2 Type II + GDPR + DPA available. EU data residency in Frankfurt region.
