MailerSend
MailerSend — A very good developer-friendly middle ground for transactional email, particularly if you want built-in address validation, real-time reputation/activity monitoring, and more hands-on deliverability support than SES.
ChatGPT
Resend
Resend — Best for an early-stage developer team that prioritizes an excellent modern API and fast implementation; it encourages authenticated subdomains and SPF/DKIM/DMARC, but I would not select it over the leaders for a mature, complex deliverability program.
