Waypoint is an email API for software teams sending transactional and product emails. Engineers can send messages through API endpoints, while designers and product teams create reusable, data-driven templates in a visual editor. It suits collaborative teams that want template management, API-based delivery, and webhook-driven workflows in one service. The product is focused on transactional email rather than one-off marketing blasts or combined email-and-SMS sending.

Its plans separate testing from production sending. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes test emails only, unlimited templates, unlimited workflows, unlimited teammates, 2 domains, and 1 workspace. Starter costs $20 per month for 10,000 emails per month, while Growth costs $80 per month for 100,000 emails per month and unlimited domains. Pro costs $250 per month for 250,000 emails per month and unlimited domains. All paid plans include unlimited templates, workflows, and teammates. According to the vendor's pricing page, the plans are listed with monthly billing.

Waypoint's strongest fit is for product teams that need visual collaboration around API-driven email. Sandbox API endpoints support testing and previewing, delivery activity logs provide event timelines, and email event webhooks cover delivery, bounce, complaint, and related events. Verified sending domains use SPF and DKIM authentication, and API messages can include attachments. Slack and Zapier are listed integrations. Choose Waypoint when templates, webhook triggers, and shared workflows matter; choose another product if your primary need is broad marketing automation or a combined email-and-SMS platform.
