Vaartix vs Resend
Resend is a polished, developer-first email API with more features than Vaartix has today: marketing email, inbound email, open and click tracking, and more SDKs. Vaartix is for Indian teams that want their email data stored in India, prices in rupees with GST invoices with paid plans, and support in Indian working hours.

Where Vaartix is the better fit
- Your data stays in India. Vaartix stores email data in India. Resend sends from the region you choose, but its docs say account data is stored in the United States.
- Rupees and GST invoices. Plans are priced in ₹ by an Indian company, with GST invoices with paid plans. Resend bills in US dollars by credit card.
- DPDP Act paperwork. Our DPA is written for India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, so your compliance team gets terms in Indian law.
- Support in your working hours. Email support Monday to Saturday, 10:00–19:00 IST.
Where Resend is the better fit
- You need more than transactional email. Resend has marketing email (Broadcasts), inbound email and inboxes. Vaartix doesn't, yet.
- You work in Ruby, Go, Rust, Elixir, Java or .NET and want an official SDK. Vaartix has SDKs for Node.js, Python and PHP; other languages use the REST API or SMTP.
- You need to send a lot today. Resend's paid plans have no daily limit, and you can sign up and pay straight away. Vaartix is invite-only during the beta, and daily limits start low and grow with a clean sending history.
- You need SOC 2 Type II. Resend lists it on its pricing page. Vaartix doesn't have a SOC 2 report.
Moving from Resend to Vaartix
The APIs look alike: POST /emails with from, to, subject and html, an SDK call of emails.send(), and React Email on Node.js. Most moves take an afternoon.
- Add your domain in Vaartix and publish its records. They use their own names (
vaartix._domainkeyandvx-bounces), so they sit next to Resend's records without a clash: you can run both side by side. - Create a sending-only API key and swap the SDK:
npm install vaartix, thennew Vaartix(key)andvaartix.emails.send({ … })(Node.js, Python, PHP). Over SMTP, change the host tosmtp.vaartix.com, the username tovaartixand the password to your key. - Point your webhooks at Vaartix and verify them with our signature (how).
- Move traffic gradually. Daily limits on a new Vaartix account start low, so keep Resend for the rest until your limit has grown.
Vaartix is in private beta, and invite-only. Every feature is free during the beta. Tell us what you send and we'll invite you as places open up.
