Show IH: I launched a transactional email API — $12/mo for 50k emails (Resend alternative)

Hey IH,
I just launched PrimeTimeMail — a transactional email API for developers.
What it does:

You use it to send emails from your app — welcome emails, password resets, notifications. One API call, done.
Why I built it:

Resend charges $20/mo for 50k emails. I built the same thing for $12/mo. Drop-in compatible — switching takes 2 minutes.
What's included:

Free tier: 3,000 emails/month, no card required
Pro: 50,000 emails/month — $12/mo
Scale: 500,000 emails/month — $49/mo
Bounce rate auto-monitor (auto-pauses at 3%)
Webhooks, custom domains, real-time logs
Early adopter price lock — forever

Where I'm at:

Live today. First users signing up.
Happy to answer any questions about deliverability, architecture, or pricing decisions.
