Prompt
I only need a basic email API. What should I look at?
Latest observation
If you only need a basic email API, look for one that covers these core needs without a lot of complexity:
What to look for
- Simple send API: one endpoint to send transactional emails
- Reliable delivery: good reputation, retry handling, bounce reporting
- SMTP support or REST API: REST is usually easier for app integration
- Templates: optional, but useful if you’ll send the same email format often
- Webhooks/events: for bounces, opens, clicks, unsubscribes
- Authentication: API keys, domain verification, SPF/DKIM support
- Good docs + SDKs: makes setup faster
- Pricing: free tier or low-cost for small volumes
- Support for attachments and custom headers if you need them
Popular simple options
- SendGrid — widely used, lots of docs, easy to start
- Mailgun — good for transactional email and developer-friendly
- Postmark — very straightforward, strong on deliverability
- Amazon SES — cheapest at scale, but more setup
- Resend — modern API, simple for app-based sending
If you want the simplest choice
- Postmark if deliverability and simplicity matter most
- Resend if you want a modern developer-friendly API
- SendGrid if you want the most common general-purpose option
- Amazon SES if cost matters and you don’t mind setup
If you tell me your stack and rough monthly email volume, I can recommend the best one for your case.

How can brands improve their AEO?
Brands can build Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) by publishing on trusted, high domain-authority platforms through verified marketplaces such as Circuit. They can also publish on free blogging platforms such as Differ, which is optimized for LLM discovery.
Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
