What's inside
Every email tool your team actually needs. Nothing they don't.
Replace four separate vendors — transactional API, marketing tool, deliverability monitor, and domain wizard — with one platform that's cheaper than any of them individually.
Transactional API that just works
Resend-style JSON API with idempotency, scheduling, tags, and webhooks. Typed SDKs for Node, Python, Go, and PHP. Clear error codes, zero magic.
Lightweight marketing
Block-based templates with {{variables}}, reusable snippets, and live preview. Lists, segments, and automation workflows that stay simple.
Built-in deliverability
Monitor reputation, seed tests, DMARC rollout, and domain warmup from inside the product. Get paged when complaint rates drift.
Fast everywhere
Globally-distributed send path. Sub-second API latency, worldwide tracking-pixel and image CDN, and an auto-scaling send pipeline.
Integrations out of the box
Webhooks, Zapier, Make, FormlyIQ, WordPress plugin, Canva and Figma template import. Keep your stack.
Contacts, suppressions, compliance
Bounces, complaints, unsubscribes, and one-click list-unsubscribe handled automatically. GDPR-ready with data export and deletion.
AI-powered docs search
Ask a question in plain English inside the docs or the dashboard. Answers cite the exact doc section.
Fair, predictable pricing
A generous free tier, simple per-email pricing above that. Dedicated IPs available as a cheap add-on. No seat fees.
How it works
From zero to first email in under five minutes.
01
Add a domain
Paste your domain. We publish DKIM and MAIL FROM records for you — or hand you exactly what to add if your DNS lives elsewhere.
02
Ship code or send a campaign
Call POST /v1/emails from your app, or compose a block-based template and blast it to a list. Same platform, same logs.
03
Watch deliverability in real time
See every bounce, open, click, and complaint on one timeline. Suppressions and unsubscribes are handled automatically.

Teams that switched
Fewer tools. Better email. Happier teams.
We replaced three tools with SushiSend and cut our email bill by 40%. The domain wizard alone saved our ops team a day of back-and-forth with DNS.
The transactional API feels like Resend, the marketing side feels like Customer.io, and the dashboard is faster than both. Our devs and marketers are finally happy at the same time.
Deliverability instrumentation out of the box was the killer feature. We caught a reputation dip on day three and fixed it before it became a problem.
I set up a sending domain, pushed a welcome email template, and fired my first POST /v1/emails in eleven minutes. That included making coffee.
Simple pricing with no seat fees changed the math for us. We can bring the whole support team in without our CFO screaming.
The AI docs search quietly replaced half of our customer-support tickets. When it does escalate, the reply already cites the exact setting.
Pricing
Simple pricing. No seat fees. No surprises.
Every plan ships every feature — the only difference is how many emails you send and how much hand-holding you get. Turn on a cost cap so you can't ever be surprised by the bill.

Questions we hear a lot.
Who is SushiSend for?
Developers, SaaS founders, agencies, and marketing teams who want one platform for both transactional and marketing email. If you currently juggle a transactional API plus a separate marketing tool, or are eyeing a heavyweight lifecycle product but dreading the price tag, you're our target user.
How is this different from Resend?
Resend is a great transactional API. SushiSend does everything Resend does and adds marketing campaigns, automation workflows, built-in deliverability monitoring, automatic domain setup, cost caps, and a top-up balance so pay-as-you-go actually works.
What plans do you offer?
Free ($0/mo, 50 emails/day, includes a "Powered by SushiSend" footer, Community support), Pay as you go ($0.30 per 1,000 emails, no monthly fee, top-up your balance and send when you need to), Pro ($29/mo, 50,000 emails included, $0.30 per 1,000 overage, 5 domains, 24-hour support SLA), and Scale ($199/mo, 500,000 emails included, $0.25 per 1,000 overage, unlimited domains, 3-hour support SLA).
What happens if I send more than my plan includes?
Overage sends are billed from your top-up balance at $0.30 per 1,000 (Pro, PAYG) or $0.25 per 1,000 (Scale). You can set a hard cap so sending stops once overage would exceed a limit, or turn off overage entirely and we'll refuse sends past your included volume.
How does the top-up balance work?
Prepay any amount, balance never expires. Turn on auto-reload to top up automatically when you dip below a threshold. Cost-control toggles let you set hard spending caps so you can't be surprised by a bill.
Can I add more than one sending domain?
Yes. Pay as you go and Pro include 1 and 5 domains respectively, with extra domains at $4.99/mo each. Scale includes unlimited domains. Free is capped at 1 domain.
Do you offer a free tier?
50 emails per day (roughly 1,500/mo), one sending domain, full transactional API, and a "Powered by SushiSend" footer — forever, no credit card. Upgrading to any paid plan removes the footer immediately.
Which DNS providers are supported for automatic setup?
When your domain's DNS is on Cloudflare we publish DKIM, SPF, and MAIL FROM records for you after a one-click authorization. For every other DNS provider we generate the exact records to copy-paste and verify in the dashboard in under a minute. Route 53, Namecheap, and GoDaddy direct automation are on the roadmap.
Can I add Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or Meta Pixel?
Yes. Workspace settings → Analytics lets you paste your GA4 Measurement ID, GTM container ID, and Meta Pixel ID. We inject them into hosted pages (like the unsubscribe page), optionally embed tracking pixels in outbound HTML emails, and auto-append UTM parameters to every link so your existing GA dashboards light up without any work on your end.
What is SushiQ?
SushiQ is our AI co-pilot add-on ($15/mo, works with any plan). It reviews every outgoing email for clarity and deliverability, analyzes your sending stats and domain health, benchmarks you against your industry, and recommends specific improvements. Think of it as a senior deliverability consultant sitting next to every send.
Can I use a dedicated IP?
Yes — available as a $79/month add-on on Pro and Scale. We handle warmup and pool management automatically.
What about two-factor auth and email verification?
Every signup verifies the email before the dashboard unlocks. Two-factor auth is optional for 14 days after signup and required after that. Owners and admins must enable 2FA immediately. Recovery codes are generated at enrollment.
Is my data private?
Yes. We don't train general-purpose models on your emails. Your contacts, content, and logs are isolated to your workspace. Workspace owners can opt out of all training usage; see our Ethical AI Promise for details. We're GDPR-ready with data export and deletion endpoints.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, monthly plans cancel instantly. No contracts, no ghost seats, no re-activation fees. Your data remains accessible for 30 days after cancellation.
Is SushiSend open source?
The SDKs, the WordPress plugin, and several core packages are open source on GitHub. The dashboard and sending infrastructure are proprietary — but the platform is built on open standards so you can migrate out if you ever need to.
