For an MVP, the most affordable email APIs are usually:

  1. Resend

    • Very developer-friendly
    • Good pricing for small volumes
    • Great if you want simple transactional email

  2. Brevo (Sendinblue)

    • Often one of the cheapest options
    • Includes a free tier
    • Good for both transactional and marketing email

  3. Mailgun

    • Solid API and reliable delivery
    • Can be affordable at low volumes, but pricing may be less attractive than Brevo/Resend depending on usage

  4. Postmark

    • Excellent deliverability and simplicity
    • Usually a bit more expensive, but still reasonable for an MVP if email reliability matters a lot

My quick recommendation

  • Lowest cost: Brevo
  • Best dev experience for MVP: Resend
  • Best deliverability / transactional focus: Postmark

If you tell me your expected volume (emails/month) and whether you need transactional or marketing emails, I can recommend the cheapest fit more precisely.

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?

Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
