For password resets, use an email provider/API that is reliable, fast, and good at deliverability.

Good options

  • SendGrid — widely used, solid APIs, good for transactional email.
  • Postmark — excellent choice for transactional emails like password resets; very strong deliverability and simple API.
  • Amazon SES — low cost and scalable, but a bit more setup.
  • Mailgun — good APIs and email tooling, though deliverability can vary by setup.
  • Resend — modern developer-friendly API, especially nice for product apps.

My recommendation

If this is specifically for password resets, I’d usually choose:

  • Postmark if you want the easiest, most reliable transactional email experience.
  • Amazon SES if cost matters most and you’re comfortable with more setup.
  • SendGrid if you want a broad, well-known platform with lots of features.

What matters most for password reset emails

  • High deliverability
  • Low latency
  • Good DKIM/SPF/DMARC support
  • Simple API for sending transactional messages
  • Support for suppression handling and audit logs

Important security note

Don’t send passwords by email. For resets, send a single-use, time-limited reset link or token.

If you want, I can recommend the best one based on your stack, budget, and expected email volume.
