📧Automatic Emails

For transactional emails, I have added 2 different guides for the two main service providers. Both offer 100 Free emails per month. More than enough for testing an MVP.

Postmark vs. Resend: What's the Difference?

Here’s the lowdown:

• Postmark has been around for a while and is known for being super reliable. But it allows only transactional emails—things like password resets or order confirmations— So if you're looking to send some marketing content through your app, you might get blocked. Moreover, the apply process takes longer as they have to vet your account.

• Resend is newer and focuses on simplicity. It’s straightforward to set up, no application process, with a clean API that doesn’t overcomplicate things. Resend is great if you want to send both transactional emails an marketing emails.

Which One to Pick? I recently changed it to Resend for the reasons I mentioned above. but I still keep my older apps with postmarks, that way I can benefit from 100 free emails from both platforms which gives me more runaway to test my apps.
