I built a Resend-compatible email API so devs who can't use Stripe can actually pay for one

I'm in Ethiopia, and I kept running into the same wall with transactional email. Resend, Postmark, all of them are solid, but they want a US/EU card and run on Stripe, which doesn't work here. The blocker was never the tech, it was just paying for it. So I built uSend. It's an email API that's compatible with Resend, so if you already use resend.emails.send() you basically swap the base URL and key and you're done. The part I actually care about is you can pay with local methods (Telebirr)

AI 分析

痛点:开发者因所在国无法使用Stripe等国际支付,难以付费使用Resend/Postmark等事务邮件API

目标用户:非洲等Stripe不可用地区的中小开发者和初创团队

证据:Resend, Postmark, all of them are solid, but they want a US/EU card and run on Stripe, which doesn't work here. The blocker was never the tech, it was just paying for it.

变现:按发送量订阅收费,支持本地支付(Telebirr等),免费额度3000封/月

MVP:做一个支付中间层:用户用本地支付充值,你代购Resend/SES额度并通过兼容API转发,2周可上线

竞品:Resend、Postmark、Amazon SES、Mailgun、SendGrid

摘要:埃塞俄比亚开发者因Stripe不可用无法付费使用Resend等邮件API,于是自建了兼容Resend且支持本地支付的uSend,免费额度3000封/月,提供多语言SDK。该痛点真实但需求验证仅来自作者一人,且邮件API赛道竞争激烈。
