Should I use Notify or Resend for password reset and notification emails?

If you mean UK government-style transactional emails:
- Use Notify if you want a simple, reliable, low-maintenance service for password resets and basic notifications.
- Use Resend if you want more developer flexibility, modern APIs, better branding/control, and you’re already in a more product-oriented stack.
Quick recommendation
For most apps:
- Password reset emails: either works, but Notify is the safer “just works” choice.
- Notification emails: if they’re simple transactional alerts, Notify is fine; if you need richer templates, event-driven workflows, or stronger integration with your app/product stack, Resend is often better.
Key differences
Notify
- Very reliable for transactional email
- Simple setup and templates
- Good for straightforward password reset / account emails
- Less flexible for advanced email workflows
Resend
- Modern API and developer experience
- Better for custom branding, templating, and app integrations
- Easier if you want to send from code with more control
- You’ll manage more of the email experience yourself
Rule of thumb
- Choose Notify if your priority is simplicity, reliability, and fast implementation.
- Choose Resend if your priority is customization, developer ergonomics, and product-level email features.
If you want, I can also give you a decision matrix based on things like cost, deliverability, templates, UK/GDPR considerations, and ease of setup.
