Traditional providers force you into expensive subscription tiers where unused email credits expire at month's end. With PhotonRelay, you never pay upfront fees. You only pay for the exact volume of emails you dispatch.

Your usage accumulates automatically throughout the calendar month. On the 3rd day of the following month, you receive a detailed, itemized statement. You enjoy a 7-day grace period to settle your invoice conveniently.

Transactional email traffic naturally fluctuates with seasonal surges, promotional flash sales, and product launches. Pay-per-use scales seamlessly without forcing you into custom enterprise negotiations or surprise overage penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our SMTP relay, deliverability protocols, and billing.

Unlike legacy bulk email services, PhotonRelay is engineered specifically for mission-critical transactional messaging (OTPs, password resets, payment notifications). We employ proactive ISP reputation monitoring, adaptive sending rates, and automated SPF/DKIM validation so your messages hit the primary inbox in under 1.2 seconds.

You are never locked into monthly subscriptions. Your first 5,000 emails every month are completely free. Above 5,000, you are billed at a flat rate of $0.50 per 1,000 emails. Usage is tracked throughout the month, invoiced on the 3rd of the subsequent month, and backed by a 7-day payment grace period.

Migration takes less than 5 minutes. PhotonRelay is 100% compliant with standard SMTP (ports 587 and 465). Simply update your host to smtp.photonconsole.com and plug in your Photon credentials in your application environment.

Yes. High-volume senders (dispatching 100,000+ emails per month) can request dedicated IP pools with customized IP warmup schedules to isolate domain reputation completely from shared pools.

All transmissions enforce mandatory TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit. We maintain strict compliance with Google & Yahoo 2024+ sender mandates (mandatory SPF, DKIM, DMARC alignment, and automated suppression of spam complaints >0.10%).
