If you mean email service for product onboarding and transactional receipts, the “best” choice usually depends on whether you want marketing automation, transactional delivery, or both.

Best overall for onboarding + receipts

Customer.io or Braze if you want robust onboarding journeys plus event-based transactional emails in one system.

Best for receipts / transactional email

Postmark is excellent for receipts, invoices, and other transactional messages:

  • very high deliverability
  • fast sending
  • clean, simple setup
  • strong separation of transactional vs marketing mail

Best for onboarding / lifecycle automation

Customer.io

  • great for triggered onboarding flows
  • event-based messaging
  • segmentation
  • good for SaaS/product-led onboarding

Good all-in-one options

SendGrid

  • can do both marketing and transactional
  • widely used
  • flexible, but setup can be a bit more technical

Mailgun

  • strong for transactional email
  • decent for developers
  • less friendly for complex onboarding journeys than Customer.io

If you want simple + easy UI

Mailchimp or Brevo

  • easier for basic onboarding campaigns
  • can handle receipts in a pinch, but not ideal for serious transactional reliability

My practical recommendation

  • Receipts: Postmark
  • Onboarding: Customer.io
  • If you want one provider for both: SendGrid

If you want, I can narrow it down based on:

  1. startup vs enterprise,
  2. no-code vs developer-friendly, and
  3. your monthly email volume.
