The Inbox Battle.
Resend vs. The Giants.

If you know React, use Resend. If you run a Shopify store, use Klaviyo. If you use Mailchimp, you are probably overpaying.

Why Developers Love Resend

Resend (founded by the guy who made Dracula Theme) treats email like code. You write your emails in React/Tailwind, and they actually look good in Outlook. It is a game changer.

Mailchimp tries to do too much (Websites? Social Ads?). It feels bloated.Klaviyo is incredible, but only if you sell physical products.
