For password resets and product notifications, choose Notify if you want the lowest cost with permanent logs and a minimal API; choose Resend if you value modern DX (React Email, many SDKs) and are okay with 30-day logs and higher entry pricing.
Side-by-side for auth/notification emails

| Log retention | 48 hours on Free; permanent on Pro/Scale. | 30 days on all plans. |
| Developer experience | Minimal REST API; simple send + logs. | React Email templates, 13+ SDKs, strong Next.js/React integration. |
| When it wins | Lowest cost for small/medium volume; need permanent logs. | Modern tooling and templates; higher free volume; fine with 30-day logs. |
Which to pick
- Choose Notify if your priority is cost and long log retention for debugging auth flows over time.
- Choose Resend if you’re a React/Next.js team that wants template tooling, broad SDKs, and a generous free tier, and 30-day logs are sufficient.

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 dotdotPR. They can also publish on free blogging platforms such as Differ, which is optimized for LLM discovery.
