Overage charges

Resend Paid plans can keep sending past the monthly quota with pay-as-you-go, capped by default at 5 times the quota; sending then pauses until the next billing cycle.Pro: Pay-as-you-go is switched on in team settings and bills extra emails in buckets of 1,000; without it, Resend notifies you and offers an upgrade.

Limits to check

• Mailgun Free and Basic allow 1 custom sending domain and 1 day of logs; Foundation raises this to 1,000 domains and 5 days, and Scale keeps 30 days.
• Resend Every account starts at 10 API requests per second, whatever the plan; an increase goes through support.
