By doing so, you won’t risk a paid subscription and will know how to set one up adeptly once you upgrade. ### Find free trials Although not a long-term solution, you can use free trials for [SMTP servers](/content/smtp-as-a-service/smtp-server) if necessary.

Once your organization has a decent budget, think about using a paid [SMTP as a service](/content/smtp-as-a-service) that not only gives you more emails, but also safeguards against **spoofing and phishing**. Should either happen to you, it can lower your sender reputation significantly, and in turn, cause your emails to be filtered as spam. So invest in your company’s future by upgrading to a reputable third-party [SMTP relay service](/content/smtp-as-a-service/smtp-relay-service) provider as soon as your budget can accommodate it.
