Thirty-one options for teams leaving the developer email API — plus dedicated pages for the open-source and free ends of that search.
One page per platform people leave, and one head-to-head against ours. Every figure is read off the vendor's own pricing page, dated, and left out entirely when they don't publish one.
We make one of the products on these pages. It's always marked, and its gaps are listed alongside everyone else's — which is the only way a comparison page is worth reading.

Every price comes off the vendor's own pricing or documentation page, and the date it was read is printed on the page. Where a vendor renders prices from JavaScript and publishes no static table — ActiveCampaign and Klaviyo both do — the cell says so rather than repeating a figure from an affiliate post that may be two years stale.
Nothing here is an affiliate link, so there's no revenue attached to which one you pick. That's why the pages can say that Amazon SES is a fortieth of our price, that Postmark's deliverability record beats ours, that ActiveCampaign has a CRM we don't, and that if you need EU data residency you shouldn't choose us at all.
If you find a number that's wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.
