Postmark
Postmark (by ActiveCampaign) is focused exclusively on transactional email. It consistently ranks among the fastest for inbox delivery times and publishes real-time delivery stats publicly.
The deliberate choice to not support marketing email means Postmark's IP reputation stays clean. For agent workflows that send critical notifications — approval requests, alerts, summaries — delivery speed and reliability matter more than volume pricing.
