Why developers choose Nuntly over Resend
The differences that matter most when choosing an email platform.
Fast API send latency
Optimized for speed at every volume tier. Every millisecond matters when you send transactional emails at scale.
Unified deep-stack observability
API logs, email flow, delivery events, and webhooks in a single unified view with 30-day retention. No more switching between disconnected screens.
EU data hosting by default
All data stored and processed in Europe with first-party webhook delivery. No external data processors like Svix in your data flow.
Predictable pricing
Bootstrap company with stable, transparent pricing. No VC-driven price hikes that double your costs overnight.
Feature by feature
A side-by-side look at what each platform offers.
Nuntly
Resend
Deliverability
Both platforms cover the deliverability fundamentals. DKIM, SPF, DMARC, dedicated IPs, and suppression lists are available on both. Deliverability tooling is equally mature on Nuntly and Resend.
Code to Inbox
Sending capabilities are nearly identical. Both support single and bulk sending, scheduled delivery, and HTML or plain text content. You will not lose any core sending functionality by choosing either platform.
API Performance
Nuntly is optimized for fast API send latency, which matters for high-throughput applications where every millisecond counts. Resend API latency is slower, and the difference adds up at scale.
Advanced SDKs
Both platforms offer TypeScript and Java SDKs with idempotent request support. Nuntly goes further with built-in retry logic and error handling at the SDK level. If you need delivery guarantees without writing custom retry code, Nuntly handles it out of the box.
Developer Experience
Both platforms offer a clean REST API with broad coverage. Nuntly and Resend both provide API access to domains, API keys, and team management, so you can automate your email infrastructure from code.
Security
This is where the platforms diverge most. Nuntly stores all data in Europe by default with built-in GDPR compliance. Resend stores data in the US and relies on an external data processor (Svix) to process and send webhooks, adding a third party to your data flow. Nuntly handles webhook delivery in-house with no external processors.
Observability
Both platforms have dashboards, webhooks, and event replay. The key difference is depth: Nuntly provides a unified view of API logs, email flow, delivery events, and webhooks in a single place. Resend shows logs in one place and webhook events somewhere else, with no unified view. Nuntly retains logs for 30 days vs 3 days on Resend, which matters when a customer says "I did not get my invoice 5 days ago."
Cost Effective
Both offer free plans for getting started. The bigger difference is pricing stability: Nuntly is a bootstrap company with cost effective pricing. Resend is VC-backed and has already doubled its pricing at the 200k emails/mo tier (from $80 to $160 in October 2024). Costs compound quickly as you scale, with automatic pay-as-you-go charges beyond plan limits.
