The short version

  • Only Postmark has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Kazoo the kazoohr.com domain now redirects to worktango.com, so Kazoo is no longer sold under that name; Postmark free tier caps at 100 emails per month with no overages allowed

Where each one falls short

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

Kazoo

  • The kazoohr.com domain now redirects to worktango.com, so Kazoo is no longer sold under that name
  • No Kazoo-branded pricing, plan or per-employee rate remains published at the original domain

Postmark

  • Free tier caps at 100 emails per month with no overages allowed
  • Basic plan ($15/mo) includes 10,000 emails then charges $1.80 per 1,000 extra; Pro and Platform tiers have their own lower per-1,000 overage rates ($1.30 and $1.20), so cost scales per email beyond the included volume
  • Custom high-volume pricing above the published tiers requires contacting sales
