Best For
Email API with strong inbound email parsing — useful for agents that need to receive and process emails, not just send
High-volume transactional and marketing email with proven deliverability — the established default
Limitations
Free tier is limited to a trial period; UI is less polished than competitors; owned by Sinch, product direction less predictable
UI and developer experience feel dated compared to Resend; owned by Twilio, so pricing and product direction tied to Twilio strategy; support quality inconsistent on lower tiers
