Reviewer scorecard
“The API is clean, the React Email integration is brilliant, and deliverability is excellent. Replaced SendGrid in 20 minutes and never looked back.”
“The deployment experience is unmatched. Git push → preview URL → merge → production. AI Gateway is a smart addition — route between AI providers without changing code.”
“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.”
“At small scale it's nearly free and incredible. At high scale, costs can surprise you. Know your usage patterns and set budget alerts. The product itself is excellent.”
“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.”
“Vercel is building the cloud for the AI era — AI Gateway, Workflow DevKit, Edge Functions. They're not just a hosting platform, they're the application platform.”
