Netcore Email API vs Plunk

Both stand on email apis. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Choose Plunk if you want transactional email, campaigns and event-based workflows in one platform, with API, SMTP and self-hosting options. Look elsewhere if you need rendered email bodies retained beyond 90 days or the hosted-service DPA to cover a self-hosted deployment.
