Resend Pricing 2026: Free 3,000/mo, Pro From $20, Scale From $90
Resend prices transactional email by monthly volume, with marketing email priced separately by contacts. As published on 3 November 2026: a free tier of 3,000 emails a month capped at 100 a day; Pro at $20 a month for 50,000 emails or $35 for 100,000; Scale from $90 for 100,000 up to $650 for 1 million; extra emails cost $0.90 per 1,000 on Pro if you enable pay-as-you-go, less on higher Scale tiers. Dedicated IPs are a $30-a-month add-on on Scale, there is no annual discount, and registered nonprofits get 50% off.
Resend's pricing is short and readable. The parts that change your bill are the daily cap on Free, the overage switch, and the add-ons.

The free tier: what 3,000 emails really means
- The daily cap bites first. 3,000 a month sounds like 100 a day on average, and 100 a day is also the hard limit. One busy day of signups or a password-reset spike hits it, even if the monthly total is fine.
- Inbound counts. Every email received through an inbox uses the same quota as sending.
- Tracking is included. Open and click tracking work on Free; the “marketing analytics” feature is a separate broadcast dashboard.
- No free trial of paid plans, but the free plan never expires.
What you actually pay at your volume
| Emails per month | Cheapest option | Monthly cost | Working |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3,000 (under 100/day) | Free | $0 | Within the free cap |
| 10,000 | Pro 50k | $20 | Free’s cap is 3,000 |
| 50,000 | Pro 50k | $20 | Included volume |
| 100,000 | Pro 100k | $35 | Included volume (Scale 100k is $90) |
| 200,000 | Pro 100k + overage | $125 | $35 + 100 × $0.90 (Scale 200k is $160) |
| 500,000 | Scale 500k | $350 | Included volume (Pro 100k + overage would be $395) |
| 1,000,000 | Scale 1M | $650 | Included volume |
On price alone, Pro (100k tier plus overage) stays the cheaper plan up to roughly 450,000 emails a month, where Scale 500k at $350 takes over. Scale is for what it adds: 1,000 domains instead of 10, more webhook endpoints, Slack support with an urgent-response SLA, and access to dedicated IPs. By default, pay-as-you-go overage is capped at five times your monthly quota, after which sending pauses.
Add-ons and extra charges
- Dedicated IP: $30 a month, Scale plan and above, for senders above 3,000 emails a day, with warm-up and monitoring handled by Resend.
- Extra domains: a $20 add-on on Pro and Scale for senders who use one domain per customer or brand.
- Single sign-on: $150 a month on Scale, included on Enterprise.
- Automations: 10,000 runs free, then $0.0015 per run on paid plans.
- Inboxes: 3 included on every plan, then $1 per inbox per month.
- Marketing email (Broadcasts) is priced by contacts rather than sends and does not count against the transactional quota.
- Discounts: no annual pricing; registered nonprofits can apply for 50% off paid plans.
The API rate limit is the same on every plan, so upgrading does not raise it. The batch endpoint sends up to 100 emails per request, which counts as one request.
Resend, or one platform for transactional and marketing
Resend is built for developers sending from code, with React Email and clean SDKs, and it now sells marketing broadcasts too. If your team needs a CRM, landing pages and automations for non-developers, compare it with an all-in-one platform.
Bluey’s transactional API shares one account with campaigns and the CRM, billed on sends rather than contacts. The Bluey vs Resend comparison covers where each fits.
