About
MailerSend is an email sending service that provides an email API, SMTP relay, dynamic email templates, inbound email routing, email verification, user management, multiple domains, DMARC monitoring, API logs, and an MCP server. It also includes tools for drag-and-drop, HTML, and rich-text email creation, plus email split testing.
The free plan includes 500 emails per month, 1 sending domain, 1 template, 1 user, 1 API token, 1 webhook, and 100 API requests per day. Email verification is sold as an add-on rather than bundled into the free plan, and a 14-day Professional trial is offered on signup.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped monthly plan, not an uncapped forever offer, and the page says a credit card is required to activate it. Compared with the cheapest paid option at about $5.60/month, the included 500 emails plus a small set of limits and tools is worth roughly half that amount, so about $3/month.
