Buzzmark vs Postmark
Postmark is the name people trust for transactional email. If you want that brand and you are fine with US data, stay. If you want the same job and the mail to stay in the EU, switch.
Buzzmark is API and SMTP. 300 free a month, no card, full product. A hive token is also your SMTP password. The homepage promise still holds: migrate from Postmark in an afternoon.
Postmark’s free tier is 100 emails a month. Paid starts at $15 for 10,000. Inbound is on Platform. Dedicated IPs start at $50 and only at high volume. ActiveCampaign owns it. Data lives in the US.
