Yes — many transactional email services offer free tiers, usually with monthly sending limits and sometimes feature restrictions.
Common examples:
- SendGrid: free tier available, typically with a daily send limit
- Mailgun: often a free trial or limited free usage, depending on current plan structure
- Brevo (Sendinblue): free tier with a daily sending cap
- Postmark: usually no permanent free tier, but may offer trial credits
- Amazon SES: not really a free tier in the usual sense, but very low cost and can be effectively free for some AWS users under the free tier conditions
Typical free-tier limits:
- a few hundred to a few thousand emails per month
- limited API access/features
- branding or verification requirements
- reduced support
