“Best” depends on what you mean by free tier: highest monthly volume, easiest setup, best deliverability, or most generous long-term plan. For most people, these are the usual front-runners:

Commonly considered best free tiers

1. SendGrid

  • Pros: Easy to start, widely used, good docs.
  • Free tier: Typically around 100 emails/day.
  • Best for: Small apps, prototypes, transactional email testing.

2. Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)

  • Pros: Very usable free tier, includes marketing + transactional options.
  • Free tier: Usually 300 emails/day.
  • Best for: Small businesses or apps needing a bit more volume.

3. Mailjet

  • Pros: Solid free plan, good for transactional email.
  • Free tier: Often 200 emails/day.
  • Best for: Developers who want straightforward API integration.

4. Resend

  • Pros: Developer-friendly, modern API, great DX.
  • Free tier: Commonly 3,000 emails/month (often with daily limits).
  • Best for: Modern web apps, especially if you value a clean API.

5. Postmark

  • Pros: Excellent deliverability and transactional focus.
  • Free tier: Usually a trial credit rather than a generous ongoing free tier.
  • Best for: When deliverability matters more than free usage.

Quick recommendation

  • Best overall free tier for many small apps: Brevo
  • Best developer experience: Resend
  • Best if you want a simple, established option: SendGrid

If you tell me:

  1. transactional vs marketing,
  2. your expected emails/month, and
  3. whether you need SMTP or API,

I can recommend the best one for your case.
