Why load 200 files just to send one email? PingMail connects directly to SMTP servers using raw PHP sockets. Secure, instant, and zero dependencies.
We respect PHPMailer, but for 90% of simple projects, it is overkill. Here is the hard data.
| Feature / Metric | PingMail | PHPMailer |
|---|---|---|
| File Size | ~2 KB (Tiny) | ~300 KB+ (Heavy) |
| Dependencies | Zero (Native PHP) | Composer / Vendor Folder |
| Delivery Speed | ⚡ Raw Socket (Instant) | Wrapper Overhead |
| Installation | Copy & Paste 1 File | CLI / Composer Require |
| SMTP Protocol | Direct Stream (fsockopen) | Abstracted Layers |
| Security | TLS 1.2 / 1.3 Auto | Configurable (Complex) |
| Debugging | Raw Server Logs | Verbose Error Objects |
| Memory Footprint | Negligible | High (Many Classes) |
| Learning Curve | 5 Minutes | 30+ Minutes |
| Best For | Forms, Alerts, SaaS | Complex MIME/Attachments |
