# emails.sh compared

Every way to send transactional email, compared. Claims about other products checked July 2026. Each page is also available as markdown at /vs/<slug>.md.

## Transactional email APIs

Built for the mail your product sends: receipts, password resets, verification links. An HTTP API, SDKs, delivery logs, and webhooks.

- [emails.sh vs Resend](https://emails.sh/vs/resend.md): Resend set the standard for developer email. emails.sh matches the API shape, adds inbound receiving and replying, and an install path built for agents.
- [emails.sh vs Postmark](https://emails.sh/vs/postmark.md): Postmark is the deliverability-first sender with separate message streams. emails.sh compares on inbound, SDK breadth, and the agent install path.
- [emails.sh vs SendGrid](https://emails.sh/vs/sendgrid.md): SendGrid, owned by Twilio, sends at huge scale with marketing tools attached. emails.sh is smaller, quicker to integrate, and receives mail too.
- [emails.sh vs Mailgun](https://emails.sh/vs/mailgun.md): Mailgun, owned by Sinch, pairs a sending API with routing, validation, and analytics. emails.sh is a smaller surface with stored, threaded inbound.
- [emails.sh vs MailerSend](https://emails.sh/vs/mailersend.md): MailerSend is MailerLite's transactional product, with a drag-and-drop template editor and inbound routing. emails.sh is code-first with nine SDKs.

## Marketing and lifecycle email

Campaigns, sequences, and a contact list first, with a transactional endpoint added on the side. We do this too now, priced by contacts stored, and these pages say where the other product is still the better tool.

- [emails.sh vs Loops](https://emails.sh/vs/loops.md): Loops is lifecycle email for SaaS with a transactional endpoint attached. emails.sh does both jobs on one API, priced separately so you buy one or both.
- [emails.sh vs Brevo](https://emails.sh/vs/brevo.md): Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is an all-in-one marketing platform with email, SMS, CRM, and chat. emails.sh is only the transactional API, built for code.
- [emails.sh vs Sendinblue](https://emails.sh/vs/sendinblue.md): Sendinblue is now Brevo: same company, renamed in 2023. Here is the honest comparison against the platform, and where a transactional API fits instead.

## Raw infrastructure

The sending pipe with nothing on top. Cheapest per email at volume, and every surface above it is yours to build.

- [emails.sh vs Amazon SES](https://emails.sh/vs/amazon-ses.md): SES is the cheapest way to send email and gives you no product above the pipe. emails.sh trades unit price for logs, inbound, and an hour of setup.

## SMTP relays

Point your existing mail code at a host that has reputation and see it arrive. No rewrite, and no API-shaped product either.

- [emails.sh vs SMTP2GO](https://emails.sh/vs/smtp2go.md): SMTP2GO is an SMTP relay for mail code you already have. emails.sh is an API-first sender with logs, webhooks, and inbound, plus SMTP when you need it.
