Frequently Asked Questions

Is the preview check really free?

Yes! Get instant access to a test email address with no credit card required. Send your campaign and receive detailed results in about 60 seconds. It's the perfect way to see the value before committing to a plan.

What happens after 24 hours?

Your test address expires after 24 hours for security. This one-time preview shows you exactly what SendGuard can catch in your campaigns. To protect every campaign you send with permanent addresses and saved history, start a free trial of our paid plans.

Why should I upgrade to a paid plan?

The free preview is great for seeing what we catch, but paid plans give you unlimited checks, permanent test addresses, saved campaign history, and API access — plus team seats and priority support on Growth plans and up. Never worry about email mistakes again - test every campaign before it goes out.

Which email platforms does this work with?

SendGuard works with any email platform that can send test emails - Klaviyo, Mailchimp, HubSpot, SendGrid, Brevo, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, and many more. If your ESP has a 'Send Test' button, it works with SendGuard.

How accurate are the checks?

The preview runs the same engine as our paid plans — 17 checks covering everything from broken links and authentication to accessibility and mobile-render risks. Nothing is held back or simplified for the free version; the only difference is how many campaigns you can check and how long results are kept.

What makes SendGuard different from manual checking?

Manual checking is slow and you'll still miss things. SendGuard runs 17 automated checks in 60 seconds, catching issues humans overlook - like broken authentication, accessibility problems, and mobile-render risks. One missed error can cost thousands in lost revenue.
