SendLayer

Transactional email delivery with simple annual plans.

overview

SendLayer is a transactional sender focused on API and SMTP relay, domain authentication, logs, suppression management, bounce handling, blocklist monitoring, event webhooks, and analytics. Plans are simple but billed annually, and the entry plan is small at 1,000 emails per month.
