Postmark focuses on transactional email: password resets, receipts, notifications. It publishes simple per-thousand pricing, long retention, and includes inbound processing from its Pro plan.
Anjal is for when the sender is an agent that also receives and replies. A Postmark message stream is an excellent place to send a receipt from; an Anjal inbox is where an agent holds a conversation.
