Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 9 of the 50 other email sending services we grade
AutoSend is an email service with a REST API and SMTP for transactional mail, plus campaign, automation and contact tools on its marketing tier. Plans are priced by monthly email volume rather than contact count, and there is no free plan; the entry plan costs $1 a month.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about AutoSend, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You add sending domains and set up DNS before anything goes out.

Best for cheap transactional email with an API
There's no free plan, and the Hobby plan has no webhooks.

The report card
Best for cheap transactional email with an API
AutoSend sends transactional email over an API or SMTP, and the cheapest plan is $1 a month for 3,000 emails. There's no free plan, and the Hobby plan has no webhooks.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | $1 a month for 3,000 transactional emails. Email sending tools start at $9 for the cheaper quarter, so this is well under 60% of that. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial. The vendor says the $1 price is there to keep abuse off shared IPs, and Hobby isn't refundable. |
| Features | C | Email API, SMTP, domain warm-up and validation, and a marketing tier with campaigns. Hobby has no webhooks and only 7 days of data kept. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You add sending domains and set up DNS before anything goes out. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web dashboard with a REST API and SMTP. No integrations list on its pages. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who AutoSend is for
- Fits if you send a few thousand app emails a month and want the lowest bill
- Works for small projects that only need transactional mail, not campaigns
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan or a trial, as the entry price is $1 a month
- Too light for webhooks on Hobby: they start on the $10 Starter plan
- Pricey if you go past your quota, with extra emails at $0.0020 each on the lower tiers
- Watch out: marketing is a paid add-on at every size, for example $5 instead of $1 on Hobby
- Watch out: refunds only cover paid plans with no usage, within 7 days, and Hobby isn't eligible
Good to know
Good for
- Developers who want a low-cost sending API with a small entry price
- Startups sending a few thousand to a few hundred thousand emails a month
- Teams that want transactional and marketing mail from one account
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan; the vendor says the $1 Hobby price is meant to deter abuse on shared IPs.
- Emails beyond the monthly quota are billed at $0.0020 each on the lower tiers, or packs of 1,000 can be bought.
- Refunds are available only on paid plans with no usage, requested within 7 days; Hobby is not eligible.
- Webhooks are not included on the Hobby plan.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace AutoSend you would be making mail servers with a good name among inbox providers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 37 of the 50 other email sending services grade higher. It costs $12 a year.
What you could not
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. AutoSend’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
