// about drin

The email platform we wanted to use.

Drin started from a familiar frustration: email APIs that gate the free tier to a single domain, hide deliverability behind a green badge, and suspend you without warning the moment volume gets interesting. We built the opposite.

#01 — Why we exist

Transactional email is infrastructure. It should be boring, honest, and hard to break.

When a password reset doesn't arrive, a customer is locked out. When a receipt lands in spam, support gets a ticket. The mail Drin sends is rarely glamorous and always important — so we treat reliability and inbox placement as the product, not as a paid add-on.

We charge the products that send, not the developers who build, and we give away the things that shouldn't cost more to run — domains, projects, teammates. The bill only grows with the one thing that genuinely scales: volume.

#02 — What we believe

Six principles we build by.

DRIN POSTAGE · SERIES 02 — PRINCIPLES ISHEET OF 3
02.1Deliverability is a feature

Authentication, isolation and reputation monitoring ship with every plan — including the free one.

02.2Honesty over hand-waving

We show the real state of your domains and reputation, and we don't claim certifications we don't hold.

02.3Fair use, not surprise bans

Clear rules, graduated trust, and a heads-up before we ever pause a sender — never a silent suspension.

02.4Breadth free, depth metered

Domains, projects and seats are free. We meter the volume that actually scales infrastructure — nothing else.

02.5Built for developers & agents

A clean REST API, typed SDKs, an MCP server and CLI — so humans and the agents they ship both send the same way.

02.6Infrastructure, not lock-in

Standard REST and SMTP mean migrating in — or out — is a credential swap, not a rewrite. We earn the renewal.

Build on email you can count on.
