FAQ

We both offer excellent developer experience for transactional emails with React Email support and clean APIs. The key differences:Automations: Resend doesn't have email sequences or email automations.Pricing: Resend uses contact-based pricing for marketing emails. AutoSend uses volume-based pricing for everything.
Absolutely. With AutoSend you don’t have to rely on an external tool for email automations.
Yes. REST API, SMTP relay, webhooks, open/click tracking, batch sending all supported with the same developer experience.
They'll love AutoSend's too! It's just as clean, just as fast, and we have a drop-in Resend adapter so they don't have to rewrite anything. Plus, they'll love not getting Slack messages every time marketing wants to tweak an email.
We just have a different business model. Resend optimizes for developer experience and charges you per contact. We optimize for the full product team and charge for actual usage. We make money when you send emails, not when you store contacts.
Many are. But some teams don't realize Resend's contact-based pricing is costing them more than it should. Others don't know AutoSend exists (yet). If you're reading this, you know now.
AutoSend is built for growing teams and startups that need more sophisticated marketing features. If you're regularly emailing your list (2+ times per month) and approaching 10K, 25K, or 50K+ subscribers, AutoSend's volume-based pricing will save you money.
