Resend

Developer-focused email API with React Email integration; sending from US, EU, SA or JP regions, account data stored in the US.

For developers, the entry price is low: Pro is $20 for 50k emails with $0.90 per extra 1,000, and the Scale tiers bring overage down to $0.46 at 2.5M. The free plan allows 3,000 emails a month but caps sending at 100 a day and one domain. The main caveat is residency, because mail can be sent from Ireland yet logs, metadata and account data stay in the US. Dedicated IPs cost $30 a month on Scale for senders of 3k+ emails a day.
