Transactional email API pricing
Predictable Notify pricing: Free 1k, Pro $10 / 10k, Scale $50 / 100k — send + logs + webhooks without ESP sprawl.
Looking for a cheap transactional email API or cost-at-scale pricing that stays predictable? Notify is built for apps that already render HTML and need send + domain auth + logs + webhooks — not a marketing suite.
Plans
| Plan | Price | Emails / month | Domains | Webhooks | Log retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1,000 | 1 | 0 | 48 hours |
| Pro | $10/mo | 10,000 | 3 | 3 | Permanent |
| Scale | $50/mo | 100,000 | 10 | 10 | Permanent |
Same send path on every plan: POST /api/email/send (or notifycx / notifycx-mcp).
When Notify wins on cost
- Early product / indie: Free 1k is enough to ship password resets and receipts
- Pro default: $10 for 10k is often cheaper than Resend Pro for the same transactional job
- Growing volume: Scale at $50 / 100k stays flat — no surprise overages framed as “platform”
When another tool wins
- Massive AWS-native volume: SES unit cost can win if you already own IAM, SNS, logging, and production access wait times
- Deliverability-premium brand: Postmark often wins procurement conversations that optimize for reputation over price
- Template studio / React Email workflow: Resend’s broader DX may fit better
