How to evaluate alternatives
- Model your core path: sign-up, OTP, password reset, delivery confirmation.
- Test whether the platform supports isolated inboxes per run.
- Check webhook and API depth for deterministic CI assertions.
- Validate governance requirements: auditability, access control, and retention policy support.
- Prove rollout with a pre-release test gate.
