If you mean a developer-friendly, API-first service for sending transactional email like Mailchimp is for marketing email, the closest common equivalents are:

  • SendGrid
  • Postmark
  • Mailgun
  • Amazon SES (more infrastructure-y, less polished)
  • Resend (modern, developer-first)
  • Brevo (Sendinblue) also offers transactional email

Quick rule of thumb:

  • Best “just works” transactional email: Postmark
  • Most established all-around API option: SendGrid
  • Most infrastructure/lowest cost: Amazon SES
  • Most modern dev UX: Resend
  • Flexible but more technical: Mailgun
