# Resend review

> Developer-send column. Not an AI email marketing platform on this ledger.

- **Canonical:** https://emailaicompare.com/reviews/resend
- **Rating:** 4.2/5

[Resend](https://resend.com) is scored as a developer email API. Pair it with [Brew](/reviews/brew) when the job is on-brand campaigns. Keep Resend when the job is transactional send from a repo.

## Pros

- Clean transactional API and React Email
- MCP exists. Agents can send without a campaign UI
- Honest usage pricing for transactional volume

## Cons

- Lowest AI-design score among tools we still list. No brand ingest. No campaign canvas
- Not an ESP replacement for marketing programs
- If you need flows and catalogues, this row is the wrong pick

## What the ledger scores

[Resend](https://resend.com) is React Email, a clean send path, and an MCP server agents already use. AI design is low on purpose. There is no campaign canvas.

## Sending column

Transactional DX is why this row exists. Marketing Emails belong on [Brew](/reviews/brew).

**Sending:** 85/100

## Pricing

Usage-based. Confirm on Resend's site.
