APP EMAIL · UP TO 10,000 / MONTH

Small volume.
Busy days.

Check the cost of password resets, receipts and other app emails. A low monthly total can still exceed a free plan’s daily limit.

Try two 1,500-delivery examples

Both examples send 1,500 deliveries over 30 UTC days. Choose one to compare. Your SES data and billing settings stay unchanged.

Even: 30 × 50 = 1,500.
Busy: 27 × 50 + 1 × 150 + 2 × 0 = 1,500.

Selected plans for this small-volume scenario, not a feature ranking. Setup effort, quotas and required features differ. No paid overage is needed within this tool’s 10,000-delivery range.

HOW TO READ THE RESULT

Count the peak,
not just the month.

For example, 3,000 deliveries in a month with a 150-delivery UTC day exceeds Resend Free’s daily limit. With the same monthly total spread across days of at most 100, it fits the published free allowance. Timing is only one limit: production approval, domain verification and sending-rate quotas still apply.

Have day-by-day counts? Download the JavaScript quota examples (ZIP, 5 KB) to check a complete period against daily and total limits. Includes readable source, six offline tests, instructions and an MIT license. Runs locally with Node.js, without dependencies, email addresses or network requests. Supply your provider’s current limits; this is not a live rate limiter. Original AI-assisted code and documentation.

Resend Free includes 3,000 monthly deliveries and 100 per UTC day. Above either limit, this tool uses Pro at $20/month with 50,000 included. Postmark Free includes 100/month; above that, this tool uses Basic at $15/month with 10,000 included. Higher feature tiers and legacy contracts are outside this estimate.

SES Essentials uses $0.16 per 1,000 outgoing recipient-deliveries in this range. À la carte base sending uses $0.10 per 1,000. Both add $0.12 per GB of entered billable outgoing data. Essentials includes a different feature bundle; selecting à la carte here does not change your AWS account. Taxes, credits, dedicated IPs, deliverability add-ons, global endpoints, storage and other AWS costs are excluded.
