# Resend
Canonical: https://automationpulse.dev/tools/resend

A developer-first email API with first-class React Email support, clean docs, and a great DX.

Resend is the developer favorite for transactional email, "the email API you wished you had when you were wrestling SendGrid's docs." Its standout feature is React Email: you build templates as JSX components that live in your codebase, get reviewed in pull requests, and deploy alongside your app.

It has added Broadcasts and Audiences for marketing sends, though that side is younger than purpose-built marketing platforms. Pricing is clean volume-based: a free tier of ~3,000 emails/month, $20/mo for 50,000, and a Scale plan from ~$90/mo.

> **Common pairing:** Many teams in our community run Resend for transactional email and pair it with a generation-first or lifecycle tool for marketing. Resend is infrastructure; it doesn't generate content, so an AI tool like Brew complements it nicely.
