    Recently Updated

      Gmail can relay WordPress emails via SMTP using OAuth2 or App Passwords. Free accounts allow 500 sends/day; Workspace allows 2,000. Not a transactional service.

      Elastic Email’s transactional API starts at $19/month for 50,000 emails. The Free plan includes SMTP and API access with a 3,000 emails/month cap and 100 emails/day limit. Competitive at volume, overpriced below 30K sends/month for WordPress.
