About Postmark
Postmark is an email delivery service for transactional messages such as receipts, password resets and alerts. It is built around an API and SMTP, and it keeps those messages separate from bulk mail.
What it does
Your app sends each email through the Postmark API or SMTP, and Postmark delivers it to the recipient. Message streams separate transactional traffic from bulk mail, templates hold reusable layouts, and the dashboard shows delivery activity. Inbound email can also be routed to your app.
Key features
- Send email through an API or SMTP
- Separate message streams for transactional and bulk mail
- Reusable email templates
- Inbound email processing
- Delivery and activity dashboard
Who it's for
Developers and small teams who need password reset, order and account emails to arrive quickly and reliably. Agencies and startups that run email for several products will also find the stream setup helpful.
Pricing and good to know
A free trial is offered, and paid plans are listed on the pricing page. Check the page for sending limits and the terms for bulk messages before you choose a plan. The service is hosted, so you connect your app to it rather than running mail servers yourself.
