# Resend review

*Developer-first email API with React Email, a clean SDK surface, a CLI, an MCP server, and event-driven Automations.*

[Homepage](https://resend.com) | [Docs](https://resend.com/docs)

## Scores

- Sending: 9
- Design: 6
- Automations: 6.8

## Positioning

Resend is the email API many developers wish they'd had instead of wrestling legacy docs. It pairs a predictable REST API with React Email (templates as React components) and has shipped agent-facing surfaces: an MCP server, a CLI, and event-triggered Automations.

## Pros

- Best-in-class developer experience and React Email integration.
- Multiple agent-friendly surfaces: API, SDKs, CLI, MCP, markdown docs.
- Generous free tier for getting started.

## Cons

- Marketing/broadcast features are newer and less mature than dedicated marketing ESPs.
- No native AI generation of design-quality campaigns.
