Buzzmark vs Resend
Resend is the developer-loved option: React Email, a big free tier, a sending region in Ireland. Be honest about that. Their free plan is 3,000 emails a month, capped at 100 a day.
Ireland is a sending region. It is not EU storage. Resend states that account data, logs, and message content stay in the United States even if you pick eu-west-1.
Buzzmark is smaller on free volume (300/mo) and has no daily cap theatre. The whole product is on the free plan. Mail is stored and processed in Frankfurt. Spanish company, not a US company with an EU radio tower.
If you want the biggest free allowance and US storage is fine, pick Resend. If you want the mail to stay in the EU, pick Buzzmark.
The difference that matters

| Free forever | 300/mo, full product, no card | 3,000/mo, 100/day cap |
| 5,000 / month | €6.50 | Needs a paid plan (daily cap) |
| 50,000 / month | €35 | $20 |
| API + SMTP | Both | Both |
| Tracking, inbound, webhooks | Every plan | Yes |
| Dedicated IP | €20/mo | $30 on Scale |
When to pick whom
Pick Resend if you want the biggest free allowance and React-email DX, and US storage is fine.
Pick Buzzmark if you want the mail to stay in the EU, a real product on day one (API, SMTP, tracking, inbound, webhooks), and a 10-minute start: 300 free, no card, every feature unlocked.
