The short version

  • Only Resend has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Chatwork no pricing figures or plan names are shown on the vendor's own homepage; only Sign up for free and Get Started buttons are offered, with pricing details requiring further navigation not present on the fetched page; Resend free tier is capped at 100 emails per day, which is restrictive for apps with bursty transactional volume.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Chatwork

  • No pricing figures or plan names are shown on the vendor's own homepage; only Sign up for free and Get Started buttons are offered, with pricing details requiring further navigation not present on the fetched page
  • The homepage highlights 256-bit encryption and ISO27001 certification as its main security claims without stating which plan tier includes them

Resend

  • Free tier is capped at 100 emails per day, which is restrictive for apps with bursty transactional volume.
  • Marketing and transactional plans are billed and priced separately, so a product needing both must budget for two tiers.
  • Dedicated IPs are only available on the Scale plan and require a minimum daily send volume.
