KIT Tag-based segmentation + visual automation flows are the cleanest in the category.
Resend React Email templating integration: type-safe, component-driven email templates without leaving the codebase.
Known weakness

Resend Less mature than Mailchimp or Kit for marketing-email editorial workflows (drip campaigns, A/B testing, segmentation UI).
