How much does Resend cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Resend uses simple volume-based pricing. As of July 2026: Free (3,000 emails/month, 100/day), Pro $20/month (50,000 emails, multiple domains, 7-day retention, audiences), Scale $90/month (100,000 emails, 30-day retention, dedicated IP available), and quote-based Enterprise (SOC 2, dedicated IPs, SLAs). Overage is about $0.0008 per email on Pro, and annual billing saves roughly 20%. Resend's differentiator is React-based email templates and modern SDKs rather than absolute cost, which is in line with Postmark, SendGrid, and Mailgun.

Resend is in line with peers on price; the differentiator is React-based templates and modern SDKs, which is why developer-first teams choose it over cheaper raw-send providers.
Editor's Note: Resend's pull is developer experience — React email templates and clean SDKs — rather than being the cheapest sender, and it prices in line with Postmark and SendGrid. Re-checked July 2026: the tiers are unchanged (Free 3,000 / Pro $20 for 50K / Scale $90 for 100K), with the former "Pro 100k" now branded Scale — so pick it for the templating and SDK ergonomics, and budget ~$0.0008/email overage plus a dedicated IP on Scale if deliverability at volume matters. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
