Feature Checklist
Overview
Resend is a transactional email API built by developers, for developers. It's not trying to be an all-in-one marketing platform — it's laser-focused on making it easy to send beautiful, reliable emails via API.
Who It's For
Developers who need to send transactional emails (password resets, receipts, notifications) and want a clean, modern API. Not for marketing teams looking for campaign management, segmentation, or automation.
Our Take
Resend's DX is outstanding. If you're building with React Email and need a reliable transactional email service, it's an excellent choice. The limitation is scope — it's not a marketing platform, so you'll need a separate tool for campaigns and automation.
