Fromly is built for lifecycle email on top of your Supabase users and Stripe billing, with campaigns, automations and transactional email on one per-email price instead of a separate plan priced by contacts.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Fromly cheaper than Resend?

It depends on volume and on what you send. For transactional email, Fromly is cheaper below 20,000 emails a month (10,000 emails cost $10 against $20), and Resend is cheaper above it: 100,000 emails cost $35 against $100, and 500,000 cost $350 against $500. For campaigns, Resend charges by contacts on a separate plan, from $40 a month for 5,000 contacts, while Fromly charges the same $0.001 per email with unlimited contacts.

### Which free plan is bigger?

Resend's: 3,000 transactional emails a month, at most 100 a day, plus marketing email to up to 1,000 contacts. Fromly offers 1,000 emails once at sign-up, with unlimited contacts.

### Does Fromly have everything Resend has?

No. Resend has outgoing webhooks, inbound email, dedicated IPs, published SDKs in many languages and React Email, which Fromly does not have today. Fromly has a built-in Supabase connection, Stripe data on every contact and campaigns that pause on high bounce rates.

### Can I use Resend and Fromly together?

Yes. You can keep Resend for high-volume transactional email and use Fromly for onboarding, lifecycle and campaign emails driven by Supabase and Stripe data.

### Which one is better for a Supabase app?

Fromly connects to your Supabase project in one click and receives new sign-ups in real time, with an hourly sync as a safety net. Resend sends what your code tells it to send, so you write the code that adds each new user as a contact.
