For a developer tool, I’d usually choose Postmark if the emails are mostly transactional.

Why Postmark

  • Excellent deliverability
  • Fast setup
  • Great API and docs
  • Clear separation of transactional vs. bulk
  • Good developer experience overall

If your needs are different

  • SendGrid: more flexible and widely used, but can feel heavier and less polished
  • Mailgun: solid API, good for more advanced email workflows
  • Amazon SES: cheapest at scale, but more DIY and less friendly
  • Resend: very developer-friendly and modern, especially for product/app emails

My rule of thumb

  • Transactional emails for a SaaS/dev tool → Postmark or Resend
  • High volume / cost-sensitive → SES
  • Marketing + transactional in one place → SendGrid or Mailgun

If you want, I can also recommend one based on your stack, expected volume, and whether you need marketing emails too.
