👍 Good boy
+10,000 free sends a month covers a small product's transactional notifications, and Journeys and broadcasts are included on the free plan.
+Pricing is per send ($0.005 on Business) and the page says there are no per-seat or channel add-on fees, so adding a teammate or a channel does not change the bill.
+The Developer plan includes an MCP server, CLI and SDKs, which suits teams that script their notifications setup.
+G2 users praise support and say there are plenty of ways to contact the staff when they have questions or integration issues.
+G2 users like the drag-and-drop dynamic email design, and one said the best thing about Courier is the ability to create dynamic email that way.
+G2 shows a 4.5 rating from 59 verified reviews for Courier.
👎 Watch out
−Free logs are kept for 7 days, according to the comparison table, which limits debugging of older sends.
−A G2 reviewer's main concern was that there are no options to integrate with social media platforms, and another said advanced customization is painful even though drag-and-drop helps.
−Business is pay-as-you-go at $0.005 per send, so 100,000 sends in a month is $500 at that rate before any volume discount.
−Several features, including multi-tenant support, custom environments and data warehouse integrations, show on the comparison table without a clear free-plan label in the text I captured, so check the table before relying on them.
−The pricing FAQ answers on what counts as a send and what happens past 10,000 were collapsed in the page I read, so I could not confirm overage handling or whether test messages count.
−My search did not return Reddit threads about Courier, so most feedback here comes from G2.
The catch
The free allowance is 10,000 sends a month, and the page does not show a cap on channels or seats. Free log retention is 7 days.
I could not read the pricing FAQ answers, which were collapsed. That means I cannot say whether test messages count as sends or exactly what happens when you pass 10,000. Business is billed at $0.005 per send, so check the dashboard usage after your first month.
The cons reviewers raise on G2 are about social media integrations and deep customization. I did not confirm whether signup needs a card or what commercial terms apply to the free plan.
