My Take
The most common reason people leave Mailgun is deliverability issues. The right alternative depends on what specifically bothers you about it.
Detailed Breakdown
Omnisend is probably the closest direct replacement if you want a smoother migration. If your main issue with Mailgun is cost, Kit might save you money while keeping similar capabilities. And if you need something completely different, ActiveCampaign takes a fresh approach.
