MailCannon is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by Moez Cherif.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
MailCannon is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Moez Cherif — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

Data sent to MailCannon and when it is sent:
When you save and use your API key, the plugin sends the API key in the X-API-KEY request header whenever you test the connection, refresh campaigns, open the campaigns screen, or open the send campaign screen.
When you test the connection or fetch campaigns, the plugin sends your API key and requests your campaign list from https://mailcannon.pro/api/v1/campaigns.
When you send a campaign, the plugin sends your API key, the selected MailCannon campaign ID, and the selected recipient email addresses to https://mailcannon.pro/api/v1/send-email-campaign-by-id.
Recipient data is sent only when an authorized admin or editor submits the send campaign form from WordPress.
