All options, mailtrap, sendgrid, resend, etc, seem to have a good free tier, looking for some anecdotal opinions

Recommended it before in other threads, I'm a big fan of CloudMailin [0] -- they've got some great inbound and outbound services, generous free tier, very simple integrations, useful and reliable dashboard. I've used SES, SendGrid, MailGun, Hive, Klaviyo, etc, but at the end of the day had an overall easier, better, more enjoyable experience with the bare simplicity of CloudMailin.

I use web3forms in my website, it's free and easy to use.

Been using AWS SES, dirt cheap and works like a charm.
