# Resend

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/email/resend/

Transactional email API with a monthly sending allowance, per-1,000 overage and add-on dedicated IPs.

## Who it suits

Projects that want a generous paid allowance for the money — 50,000 emails at $20 is several times what the same spend buys at Postmark or Mailgun.

Consider something else if Log retention is 30 days and not extendable, and a dedicated IP needs the Scale plan plus 3,000 emails a day before it is offered at all.
