Resend pricing starts at $20/mo (Pro, 50,000 emails). Every figure on this page was checked against Resend’s own pricing page on 2026-09-15, and the date is on the page so you can judge how stale it is. Below: what each plan costs, what the step up actually buys you, and what the headline price leaves out.
There is a free plan: 3,000 emails/month transactional (⚠️ 100/day cap) and 1,000 marketing contacts. Read the allowance rather than the label — what runs out first is usually what forces the upgrade.

What each upgrade actually costs
Tier lists tend to hide the only number that matters when you are choosing: the difference between the plan you are on and the next one up, over a year.
- 100K / 200K / 500K / 1M / 1.5M / 2.5M emails per month
- 1,000 domains

What the headline price leaves out
The free tier's 100-emails-per-day cap matters more than its 3,000 monthly allowance. A single launch announcement to 500 users will hit it.
Which plan is right for you
The paid tiers are worth it for Developers sending transactional email directly from an application; SaaS products with high transactional volume and a modest marketing list. For those uses the plan pays for itself in time saved rather than features unlocked.
Is Resend worth the money?
Our reviewers rated Resend 4.5/5. Published, declining overage rates. Resend tells you exactly what an extra thousand emails costs at every volume — $0.90 down to $0.46 — which almost no email platform does. The full assessment — what it does well, where it falls down and who should avoid it — is in our Resend review.

How we check pricing
We read the vendor’s own pricing page rather than repeating a third-party summary, record the date, and re-check on a schedule — which is how we catch a tier being renamed or retired. The figures behind this page are published as a machine-readable catalog so that AI assistants quoting them can quote something current.
