Postmark

Transactional ESP

4.5/ 5

Focused transactional email service known for exceptional deliverability and speed.

198 reviews·From $15/mo for 10k emailsVisit website

Postmark is laser-focused on transactional email and it shows. They consistently deliver the fastest inbox placement times in the industry, with emails arriving in seconds rather than minutes. Their strict anti-spam policies mean shared IPs maintain excellent reputation.

The trade-off is that Postmark intentionally does not support bulk marketing email. If you need both transactional and marketing from one platform, you will need a second service.

  • Fastest delivery times

Fastest delivery I've measured

We instrumented our transactional emails with timing headers. Postmark consistently delivers in under 3 seconds. Nothing else comes close for speed.

Best for transactional, nothing else

If you only need transactional email, Postmark is incredible. But the moment you need a marketing email, you need a second platform.

Speed and reliability you can measure

We instrumented delivery times across 3 ESPs. Postmark consistently delivered in 1-2 seconds while others averaged 5-8 seconds. For password resets and OTP codes this matters enormously to user experience.
