Six ways to send. A closer look at what each one costs.

6 of 6 ways

Listed in no particular order. Prices are official-page reference figures, not a live checkout quote. Billing terms, seats, account allowances, and plan availability can change; unclear or conflicting figures are flagged. Vendor safety and compliance statements are not independent test results.

01 / Authenticate

Prove the domain first.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC on the sending domain before any real volume. Without them, inbox rates collapse no matter which option you pick.

02 / Match

Match the tool to the mail.

Transactional and product mail fits an email API. One-to-one sales mail fits real mailboxes. A private server only makes sense when you can staff deliverability yourself.

03 / Respect

Stay inside the limits.

Each option publishes daily message and recipient caps, and mailbox providers write their own bulk-mail rules. Check both before scaling. Inclusion is not an endorsement.
