How does Resend pricing work?
The value metric is emails sent per month, packaged as quota tiers with a flat marginal rate. Free is '3,000 emails / mo' with '100 emails a day', 3 domains and '3 inboxes', Pro is '50,000 emails / mo' with 'No daily email limit' and 10 domains, Scale is '100,000 emails / mo' with 1,000 domains and a 'Dedicated Slack channel', and Custom is 'Enterprise' with a '99.99% uptime SLA' and a 'Custom usage plan'. Two more meters sit beside email: Automations at '$0.0015 / run' after 10,000 free runs, and Inboxes at '$1 / inbox' after 3 included inboxes. Three add-ons are priced flat: Domains at '$20 / mo' for 100 more, Dedicated IPs at '$30 / mo' and Single Sign-On at '$150 / mo'. Quotas with a flat overage suit transactional email, where volume is predictable and a bill that steps is easy to plan.
'Start for free and scale as you grow.' sits over a Transactional emails and Marketing emails switch and a slider from 3,000 to '3,000,000+', which marks the matching card 'Recommended'. Free, Pro and Scale share 'Get started' and Custom offers 'Contact us', so the motion is self-serve through Scale and sales-led above it. An 'Are you an AI agent? See pricing' link sits under the cards. Then come the Pay-as-you-go section with three meters, the Add-ons section, a six-part comparison table that now includes an Inboxes section, a 'Trusted by' logo grid, fifteen FAQ questions, a testimonial marquee and 'Start sending this afternoon' with 'Sign up for free'.
Under the hood, Pro and Scale bill extra email at the same '$0.90 / 1,000', so the marginal price of email holds flat across plans and Scale is priced on capability. At 100,000 emails, Pro plus overage comes to $65 and Scale to $90, and the step buys 1,000 domains, the dedicated Slack channel, 500 AI credits and access to Dedicated IPs and SSO. Inboxes are metered as a resource while their traffic stays on the email meter: 'Inbox emails use your transactional quota.' The table gives every plan 'Threads' and 'Agent access' on inboxes, which points to inboxes built for software agents as well as people. Each meter is a deliberate choice, enabled per line, and the agent pricing link is a bet on where buying is going, with coding agents choosing infrastructure for their users.
What does Resend's pricing page do well?
- A volume slider with Transactional and Marketing tabs sits above the cards and marks the fitting tier 'Recommended', so a buyer starts from their own volume
- One overage rate, 'Extra emails: $0.90 / 1,000', is printed on both Pro and Scale, so the marginal cost is visible before signup
- Each meter, emails, automations and inboxes, has its own 'Enable pay-as-you-go' switch with the charging rule stated in a sentence
- The Inboxes table section shows allowance, unit price and quota source in three rows: 3 included, '$1 / inbox' extra, 'Transactional quota'
- The FAQ answers each new pricing concept directly, with 'How are inboxes priced?' and 'Is there a plan between Free and Pro?'
What does Resend's pricing page reveal about its pricing strategy?
- Quota tiers with a flat overage: email costs the same at the margin on every paid plan, and the plans differ by capability
- Inboxes are priced per unit at '$1 / inbox' while inbox traffic draws on the transactional quota, so the resource and its usage are billed on separate meters without overlap
- 'Agent access' on inboxes across every plan points to agents as inbox holders, a metric that grows with automation
- Automations carry their own meter at '$0.0015 / run', separating workflow usage from send volume
- 'Are you an AI agent? See pricing' addresses agents as buyers, a sign of where developer infrastructure is sold next

$260/moLob prices direct mail as a two-part bill and says so: a platform subscription from $0 to $550 per month, plus an all-in per-piece rate for print, postage and envelope that falls as the plan rises. A hero volume selector recommends a plan from annual mailings, and per-format rate rows, postcards from $0.905 down to $0.615, let a buyer turn a mail program into a budget.
Mailgun
$15/moMailgun sells email sending as prepaid monthly allowances with an overage rate printed on every paid card, falling from $1.80 to $1.30 to $1.10 per 1,000 emails as the commitment rises. A hero slider, 'I want to send 50,000 emails/month', starts the page from volume, and a free month on Foundation and Scale lets a sender try the higher tiers at real volume.
Twilio
$0.0083/segmentTwilio's US SMS page is a rate sheet built in layers under the headline 'SMS and RCS pricing built to break even fast': $0.0083 per segment for SMS on every number type, carrier fees passed through per carrier, and a monthly lease for the number itself.
