Hey everyone! I’m looking for advice on email services for my dev projects. I’ve been checking out a few options:
Mailgun seems cool with its dev-friendly API but might be pricey. SendGrid looks solid for all kinds of emails with good tracking. Resend caught my eye with its quick setup claims. Mailchimp is great for marketing stuff but maybe too much for simple needs. And I keep hearing about Postmark but don’t know much about it.
What are you using? Any pros or cons to share? I’m kinda lost in all the choices and would love some real-world feedback. Thanks!
I’ve been using Postmark for the past year, and it’s been excellent for transactional emails. Their delivery speed is impressive, and the setup process was straightforward. The API is well-documented, making integration a breeze.
One standout feature is their bounce handling - it’s saved me countless hours of manual work. Their analytics are also quite comprehensive, providing valuable insights into email performance.
However, Postmark isn’t ideal for marketing emails, as they focus primarily on transactional communication. If you need a mix of transactional and marketing capabilities, you might want to consider a hybrid solution or use Postmark in conjunction with a marketing-focused service.
In terms of pricing, Postmark sits in the middle range. It’s not the cheapest option, but the reliability and features justify the cost for my needs. Always consider your budget and specific requirements when making a decision.
I’ve been using SendGrid for a couple of years now, and it’s been a game-changer for my projects. The API is straightforward, and their documentation is top-notch. What really sold me was their robust analytics - it’s helped me fine-tune my email campaigns and improve deliverability rates.
One thing to watch out for, though, is their pricing structure. It can get a bit steep if you’re sending high volumes. I’d recommend starting with their free tier to get a feel for the service.
As for Postmark, I’ve heard great things about their delivery speeds and reliability. A colleague swears by them for transactional emails. Might be worth looking into if that’s your primary need.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your specific requirements and budget. Don’t be afraid to try out a few services before committing - most offer free tiers or trials.
i’ve been usin Resend lately and its pretty sweet. quick setup like they claim, and the API is easy to work with. prices aint bad either. only downside is the analytics are kinda basic compared to some others. but for simple stuff its awesome. def worth checkin out if ur not needin anything too fancy
