Notify vs Resend
Both are developer email APIs. Notify is cheaper at Pro ($10 / 10k) and stays minimal: send, webhooks, logs — no template studio.
| Feature | Notify | Resend |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Transactional send + webhooks + logs | Transactional API with React Email–centric ecosystem |
| Auth | x-api-key header | Authorization: Bearer |
| Send body | to, subject, message (HTML or text) | to, subject, html / text (and more fields) |
| Pro-ish pricing | $10/mo for 10,000 emails | Higher entry paid tiers; check current Resend pricing |
| Free tier | 1,000 emails/mo, 1 domain, 48h logs | Generous free tier; confirm current limits |
| Templates | You own the HTML (e.g. React Email locally) | Strong React Email / template product surface |
| Webhooks | Pro & Scale (up to 3 / 10) | Available on paid plans |
Best for
Indie hackers and startups who want password resets, onboarding, and receipts without ESP bloat — and who are fine writing (or generating) their own HTML.
Not for
Teams that want a first-party React Email workflow, rich template product, or newsletter tooling built into the ESP.

Frequently asked questions
Is Notify a Resend clone?
No. Same audience — developers sending transactional email — but Notify deliberately skips template studios and marketing surface. One API call, then logs and webhooks.
Can I keep using React Email?
Yes. Render HTML with React Email in your app and pass the string as Notify’s message field. Notify does not host a template builder.
How do I migrate?
Swap the endpoint and auth header, rename html/text to message, verify your domain, and update webhooks. See the migrate-from-Resend docs.
