Resend
Not replaceablefrom €17.82/month (converted from $20, rate of Oct 2, 2026)editor verdict · 0 votes
Email sending service by API or SMTP, for transactional and marketing messages. Free plan with 3,000 emails a month (100 a day); Pro at $20 a month.
Sending an email is easy; getting it into the inbox is not: sender reputation, a properly configured domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), handling bounces and complaints. A home-made sending server ends up in spam. The right compromise is to use a provider (Resend, Amazon SES, Brevo) and build around it: templates, queues, tracking.
What you lose
- Sender reputation and deliverability
- Handling of bounces and complaints
- Sending infrastructure at scale
- Webhooks and delivery tracking
