Overview
Sweego is a French email and SMS sending platform for developers, launched by the team behind Mindbaz, a French bulk email solution in operation since 2013. It offers a REST API and SMTP relay for transactional email, an SMS API, automatic SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup, and statistics. Data is hosted in data centers in France and the company presents it as outside the US CLOUD Act.
The free plan sends 100 emails a day with unlimited domains, five templates, a webhook and seven days of logs. Individual (€10 a month for 20,000 emails) adds inbound email routing, 30-day logs and chat support. Startup (€79 for 100,000) extends logs to 60 days, removes template limits and allows a dedicated IP. Scaleup (€270 for 500,000) includes a dedicated IP and 90-day logs. Annual billing lowers each price by about 20%.
SMS messages are paid with prepaid credits independent of the email plan, with published per-country prices.
