Why teams switch from Mailosaur

Built for QA teams

Mailisk is built for developers and QA teams. We provide a simple API and SDKs for the most popular testing frameworks.

Unified email & SMS

Mailisk captures inbox and SMS traffic through the same client and billing plan. You get a familiar API for both email and SMS.

Automatic waiting & retries

Mailisk search endpoints wait by default, eliminating extra polling helpers or timeout math in your tests.

Modern dashboard

Share message previews securely, inspect attachments, and replay payloads without leaving the browser.

Typed Node SDK

The official MailiskClient bundles TypeScript types, polling helpers, and retries so your test assertions stay clean.

Transparent pricing

Simple monthly plans with unlimited users and API keys. No surprise overage when you add more parallel runs.

Port Mailosaur flows in minutes

Line up the Mailosaur function you use today and drop in the identical Mailisk call. Filters and response shapes stay familiar, so the migration focuses on find-and-replace rather than rewrites.

Email verification & onboarding

Mailisk searchInbox mirrors Mailosaur filters like sentTo, subject, and wait behavior—only with namespace scoping instead of server IDs.

Mailosaur

import MailosaurClient from "mailosaur";

const mailosaur = new MailosaurClient(process.env.MAILOSAUR_API_KEY);
const serverId = process.env.MAILOSAUR_SERVER_ID;
const testEmail = "user@examplemailosaur.com";

const result = await mailosaur.messages.search(serverId, {
  sentTo: testEmail,
  subject: "Verify your account",
  errorOnTimeout: true,
});

if (!result.items.length) {
  throw new Error("Email never arrived");
}

const match = result.items[0].text.body.match(/https?:\/\/\S+/);
const verificationLink = match?.[0];

Mailisk

Waits by default

import { MailiskClient } from "mailisk";

const mailisk = new MailiskClient({ apiKey: process.env.MAILISK_API_KEY });
const namespace = "checkout-tests";
const testEmail = `user@${namespace}.mailisk.net`;

const { data } = await mailisk.searchInbox(namespace, {
  to_addr_prefix: testEmail,
  subject_includes: "Verify your account",
});

if (!data.length) {
  throw new Error("Email never arrived");
}

const match = data[0].text?.match(/https?:\/\/\S+/);
const verificationLink = match?.[0];

Mailosaur-level coverage plus modern workflows

Full payload visibility

Inspect every header, attachment, and render within Mailisk. Open sharing links for stakeholders who don't live in GitHub.

Straightforward pricing

Mailisk plans cover unlimited users and API keys with no per-inbox surprises, so scaling CI suites stays predictable.

EU-native infrastructure

All Mailisk data stays in the EU, keeping every inbox GDPR-compliant.

Real-world parity

Mailisk receives the exact SMTP traffic your production apps send, so flaky mocks disappear from CI.
