The
European Alternative
to Resend
Resend gives developers a clean experience, but it is US-owned: even when it sends from Ireland, it stores your account data, logs and email metadata in the US. AhaSend gives you a simple API and SMTP relay too, with your data in Europe under European law, plus Sub Accounts: isolated child accounts for your customers under one bill.
Fair and simple usage-based pricing
No hidden fees. No per-attachment surcharges. No paid add-ons for analytics. Just simple, transparent pricing that includes everything.
Thoughtfully crafted for sending transactional emails at any scale

Why teams choose AhaSend
European by design, built for platforms, and yours to control
Resend sends from Ireland but stores data in the US; AhaSend keeps your messages, logs and metadata in Europe, under European law, EU-owned, not reliant on US data-transfer frameworks.
Resend caps retention at 30 days on all non-Enterprise plans; AhaSend offers 0 to 30 days customizable plus archiving to your own S3.
Resend has no per-tenant isolation (Teams are manual workspaces, shared suppression); AhaSend gives each customer a fully isolated child account with its own domains, keys and reputation under one bill.
Both handle inbound email. AhaSend adds Reputation Shield on every plan, which rejects emails to temporary, mistyped and toxic addresses before they hurt your reputation.
Switch by changing your SMTP host and credentials, or map Resend's send fields to AhaSend's API with our Resend migration guide, which also covers webhook events and suppressions.
Both offer great DX; AhaSend runs its own MTA and IPs (not a layer on a hyperscaler), so reputation and delivery are ours to control.
