Why Developers Switch from Postmark
Postmark has been a solid choice for transactional email, but many developers are switching to Transactional for its modern developer experience and generous free tier.
Modern TypeScript SDK
Unlike Postmark's REST-only approach, Transactional offers a fully-typed TypeScript SDK that makes sending emails a breeze:
import { Transactional } from '@transactional/sdk';
const client = new Transactional({ apiKey: process.env.TRANSACTIONAL_API_KEY });
await client.emails.send({
from: 'hello@yourdomain.com',
to: 'user@example.com',
subject: 'Welcome!',
html: '<h1>Welcome aboard!</h1>',
});Better Observability
Track every email with detailed logs, real-time events, and comprehensive analytics. Know exactly what's happening with your email delivery.
