Reviewer scorecard
“The most mature AI developer platform. Assistants API, function calling, and the Playground are all well-designed. Documentation is extensive.”
“The API is clean, the React Email integration is brilliant, and deliverability is excellent. Replaced SendGrid in 20 minutes and never looked back.”
“Reliability has improved dramatically. The rate limits are generous on paid tiers. The Assistants API is finally stable enough for production.”
“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.”
“OpenAI has the largest ecosystem of developers and integrations. Even if other models catch up, the platform moat is real.”
“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.”
