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.

Shipped: Email Validation API
Just added email validation to PrimeTimeMail.
One API call checks format, MX records, disposable domains, and your suppression list. If the address can't receive email — you find out before sending, not after the bounce.
Building this because bounce rate protection is the #1 thing developers get wrong with transactional email. Most people don't think about it until their emails start landing in spam.

What do you validate before sending? Curious if others are doing more than just format checks.
We just added suppression lists to PrimeTimeMail. Every bounced or spam-complaint address is automatically added to your suppression list and blocked from future sends. You can also manage it manually via API. Free on all plans. primetimemail.com
