Email Service Provider Evaluation

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring different email service providers for transactional emails for AsanTyping.com. I tested MailerLite, Mailgun, Mailchimp, and even AWS SES.

What I found

• Most platforms are either too expensive, especially when it comes to marketing emails.
• AWS SES is definitely the cheapest for transactional emails, but once you add marketing features, the pricing climbs quickly.
• For my current needs, I needed something simple, reliable, and budget‑friendly.

Decision

For now, I’ve decided to use Resend’s free plan for all transactional emails — and honestly, it’s been a great fit. I’ve just finished integrating it, and now:

• It feels good to check this off the list.
• If you’re building something early‑stage and want a lightweight solution for transactional emails, Resend might be worth a look.
