Reviewer scorecard
“The Workbench is the best prompt engineering environment available. Test prompts, compare models, and see token counts in real-time. Essential for any Claude API project.”
“The API is clean, the React Email integration is brilliant, and deliverability is excellent. Replaced SendGrid in 20 minutes and never looked back.”
“Clean, functional, does what it needs to. The evaluation tools are underrated — most developers ship prompts without testing. This makes testing easy.”
“Young company with a smaller scale than SendGrid or Postmark. But the developer experience is so much better that it's worth the risk for startups. Monitor deliverability closely.”
“Anthropic is building the developer platform, not just the model. Console + Claude Code + Agent SDK — they want developers building on Claude, not just chatting with it.”
“Building beautiful transactional emails used to be painful. React Email components make it feel like building a web page. Game changer for my client projects.”
