AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Smooth SMTP is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Email category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. 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.

How Smooth SMTP works
Show full descriptionShow less
Smooth SMTP gives you full control over how WordPress sends email. Configure SMTP as your primary sending method, set up a fallback for when things go wrong, get notified through your preferred channels, and keep a detailed log of every email your site sends.
Primary Sending Method (SMTP)
Configure any SMTP provider as your primary sending method. If you leave SMTP disabled, WordPress will continue using its default PHP mail — either way, all other features still work.
Works with any SMTP provider: Gmail, SendGrid, Amazon SES, Mailgun, and more
Configurable host, port, encryption (SSL/TLS), username, password, from email, and from name
Secure credential storage using WordPress’s built-in options API
Fallback Sending Method
If the primary sending method fails, Smooth SMTP can automatically retry using a fallback. This works regardless of whether you’re using SMTP or WordPress’s default PHP mail as your primary.
Fallback to WordPress Default (PHP mail) or a second SMTP server
Full credential configuration for the fallback SMTP
Logged separately so you can see exactly which method delivered each email
Failure Alert Channels
Get notified the moment an email fails — through the channels your team already uses.
Slack, Discord
Telegram (via Bot API — requires bot token and chat ID)
WhatsApp (via CallMeBot webhook)
SMS or any custom webhook endpoint
Add multiple channels, enable/disable each independently
Send Test Alert button per channel
Alerts are throttled to at most one per 60 seconds to avoid flooding
