Founder Stories

Trusted by fast-moving engineering teams.

We switched to Render25 two days before our Product Hunt launch. Our signup verification emails were hitting Gmail inboxes in under 40ms. Zero dropped users.

Liam Vance
Founder & CEO, HyperLayer (YC W25)

SendGrid was charging us $89/mo before we even had paying customers. Render25's startup program gave us $100 in credits and a private Slack channel with their engineers.

Elena Rostova
Co-Founder & CTO, PulseFlow

The Supabase and Next.js integration took 2 minutes. Deliverability has been 99.8% from day one without any manual IP warming headaches.

Founding Engineer, NexusAI

Startup FAQs

Everything founders ask about deliverability, pricing, and limits.

Can my startup really stay on the Hobby tier for free?

Yes. The Hobby tier includes 3,000 emails every month (100/day) with 1 domain, 1 webhook endpoint, and 3 days of log retention at $0/month forever. No credit card is required to sign up.

What happens when our Product Hunt launch or viral spike happens?

On the Pro plan ($30/mo), there are zero daily caps. If your launch exceeds your included 100k email volume, extra emails are automatically delivered at just $0.80 per 1,000 emails with zero queue throttling or dropped packets.

How fast is DNS verification on Cloudflare or Vercel?

Instant. When you add your domain in Render25, we generate 3 simple CNAME records. Once added to Cloudflare or Vercel, verification happens in under 60 seconds with automated DKIM, SPF, and DMARC alignment.

Can we use Render25 for Supabase Auth and NextAuth?

Yes. Render25 provides both a modern REST API and a high-speed SMTP relay (smtp.render25.com:587) that drops seamlessly into Supabase Auth, NextAuth, Clerk, Auth0, or Firebase.
