Choose Ploncker if you need marketing campaigns, automation workflows, or want the flexibility to use our cloud (though Ploncker also offers fully-managed hosting).
What is the pricing difference between Ploncker and Resend?
Ploncker uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model, while Resend uses a fixed subscription model. Both optimize for different use cases - Resend focuses exclusively on transactional emails. Ploncker includes marketing campaigns and workflow automation at no additional cost. If you need both transactional and marketing emails, Ploncker may be more cost-effective overall since you won't need a separate marketing platform.
Is migration from Resend to Ploncker complex?
Migration requires updating your API integration since Ploncker and Resend use different API structures. You'll need to update your code to use Ploncker's endpoints and parameter format. However, both platforms support similar features (templates, webhooks, custom domains), so the concepts translate directly. Plan for a few hours of development work to migrate your integration.
