MailerSend
Transactional email and SMS API from the MailerLite group, hosted on Google Cloud in the EU.
The $7 Hobby plan for 5k emails is the cheapest paid subscription in this category, which suits small projects that outgrow the 500-email free plan. Above that, Starter and Professional run to 1M and 2M a month, with overage falling from $1.30 per 1k to $0.50 on Professional 2M, and yearly billing takes 10% off. Professional costs far more than Starter at low volume, $110 against $35 at 50k, and is where the dedicated IP add-on sits.
