  "tagline": "Email API with routing + parsing",
  "price": "Free: 100 emails/day, 1 domain. Basic from $15/mo for 10,000 emails, Foundation $35/mo for 50,000, Scale $90/mo for 100,000 with dedicated IP pools. Overages $1.10-$1.80 per 1,000.",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "Developer-focused email API, unusually strong on inbound routing, message parsing and email address validation. Provides SMTP relay, a template builder, log retention, deliverability tooling and dedicated IP pools on higher plans. Now sits alongside Mailjet under the Sinch umbrella.",
  "why": "Pick it when you need to receive and parse email, not just send it — inbound routes turn replies into webhooks your app can act on. The validation API cleans lists before bounces burn your reputation.",
  "warn": "Log retention is short on cheap plans (5 days on Foundation), which makes debugging an old send painful. Free tier is a hard 100/day with a single custom domain.",
