The product centers on a clean REST API, official SDKs across major languages, SMTP relay, batch sending, inbound routing, and first-class React Email template integration. Pricing is volume-based and self-serve up to roughly 2.5M emails per month before Enterprise contracting kicks in. Resend also runs a separate Marketing Email track (broadcasts, audiences) priced from $40 to $650 per month for 5k to 150k contacts; this entry focuses only on the Transactional product.",
