What is the differentiator here? Why would anyone choose this?

I was excited to sign up for this. But, I never got your verification email, so I can't sign up. That should be your bread and butter.

Good to know that the team has email industry expertise, but how does having this expertise differentiate you vs a competitor that, presumably, has team members with industry expertise as well?

Looks good. How’s your security? These days everything hinges on email for auth (particularly with email code sign in being so popular) so if there is a breach that’s a lot of exposure. Security is the one aspect that would make me hesitant to try a newcomer email API.

I started to get interested and then realized it's yet another monthly subscription based email platform. One of the main reasons SES is popular is it is pay what you use.

In addition, it's not immediately clear if SMTP is supported, but you might want to add that if not since it's the standard. Your api might be cool but avoiding vendor lockin is cooler.

I didn’t immediately see any discussion of deliverability. That’s like the number 1 criteria anyone sending email in production cares about.

Write your take first — we'll ask for email only when you're ready to publish.
