0 votes. Log in to vote for Plunk Upvote (community vote)useplunk.com

Send transactional emails, run marketing campaigns, and automate workflows with one contact list. Open-source, self-hostable, and costs $0.001 per email with no contact limits.

What we know

How is Plunk different from other email tools?
Most platforms do one of transactional sending, marketing campaigns, or automation, requiring teams to run two services side by side. Plunk combines all three against one contact list, triggered from a single API call.
Can I use Plunk for transactional email?
Yes. Signup confirmations, password resets, receipts, and any other one-off message go out through the same API and the same verified domains as campaigns.
Can I send newsletters and broadcasts?
Yes. Build a campaign against the whole list or any segment, schedule it, and track opens, clicks and bounces per send.
Which languages and frameworks does Plunk support?
Anything that can make an HTTP request. There is a REST API, an official Node SDK, and SMTP for clients and frameworks that already speak it, so no runtime is excluded.
What does Plunk cost?
Two plans: free covers 1,000 emails a month with Plunk branding; paid is $0.001 per email with no branding and no feature tiers. Contacts are unlimited on both, so storing contacts you never mail costs nothing.
