It's hidden until you sign up: - Free - 5 emails/day - Basic ($5/month) - 50 emails/day - Big ($29/month) - 500 emails/day - Huge ($99/month) - 5000 emails/day

  That is pretty steep taking into account that even Postmark, which many consider expensive, charges only $1.50 per thousand emails. The basic plan is $3.33 for thousand and you're limited to specific daily limits... I usually don't complain about pricing but this just feels too much. Of course these two services are different but I chose Postmark as it's from the expensive end of email sending services. And one can replicate MailerJS in just one evening (when writing this there might already be a open source clone). Enough with the whining... The main reason why I'm not a fan is that the pricing is hidden behind sign up and the site gives the impression that the service is free.

    That really is apples and oranges.

    I don't see why you'd need to use a third party at all for this type of thing. Postmark is designed to increase email deliverability, but if you're only sending emails to yourself, that shouldn't really be an issue. It seems like good ol' sendmail would do the trick. Agreed on the pricing though. Doesn't seem very honest.

      Sendmail doesn't work if you're serving up your site statically from S3. Then again, their pricing is so ridiculous, its cheaper to just POST the email message via REST to a service to send the mail (Postmark, Sendgrid, AWS SES). I'm not sure what this solution solves.
