Why teams switch to tinysend

Usage-based vs flat-rate

Loops charges $49/month flat. tinysend charges $52.50 for the same volume, but you only pay for what you actually send — no wasted spend in slow months.

Bring Your Own Key

Loops routes everything through their infrastructure. tinysend lets you use your own SES, Postmark, or Mailgun account — giving you full control and lower costs at scale.

Code-first workflows

Define sequences in code, deploy via CLI, trigger everything via REST API. tinysend is built for developers who think in code, not drag-and-drop visual builders.
