A good fit for
- Developers sending transactional email from an application backend
- Teams already using React who want to build email templates as components
- Startups that fit within the free plan's 3,000 emails a month
- Products that need webhooks for delivery, bounce and open tracking
Not a good fit for

- Teams that need on-premises or self-hosted email infrastructure
- Very high-volume senders where per-1,000-email overage costs are less predictable than a flat enterprise contract

About Resend
Resend provides an email API for sending transactional email (password resets, receipts, notifications) and marketing email from application code, with official SDKs for several languages and a dashboard for logs, analytics and domain verification.
It pairs with React Email, an open source library for building email templates as React components that render to HTML compatible with major email clients. Resend also supports webhooks, broadcast sending for newsletters, and audience management for marketing lists.
