SendGrid - Best Email API for sending marketing emails
Reviewed on 09/08/2021

I use SendGrid for sending communication and marketing emails to thousands of customers every day. Sending close to 100,000 emails per month and the quality of service is quite good. Must say I am happy to use SendGrid.
Pros
The best thing about using the SendGrid Email API was the performance measured in terms of email deliverability and server uptime.
The dashboard provides good insights with respect to number of emails sent, delivered and opened. Thus helps a great deal in improving marketing campaigns.
From the deployment point of view, the integration of SendGrid with the existing email service was quite easy and can be completed easily without great efforts.
Cons
As far as technical aspects are concerned, there is nothing which I don't like.
On the pricing front, would like to add my views. Currently, the pricing plans are available as Free (100 emails per day), Essentials and Pro. The Essentials plan starts from 14.95$ per month for upto 40,000 emails a month and the Pro starts at 89.95$ per month. These plans are good for small and medium size websites.
Would be good to see if a new Basic plan is introduced for a low starting price of 4.95$ per month and offering upto 10,000 emails a month. Such a plan would be highly suitable for extra small website applications who have a limited customer base.

SendGrid is a tool made for those looking for industrial strength e-mail marketing. If you have a small list and want a free tool where you have many templates and can drag and drop designs, MailChimp is the right tool. However, if you are sending millions of e-mails and want to use code and highly technical attributes with tens of thousands of users in your e-mail list you pretty much have to abandon MailChimp and SendGrid is the best tool in the space
Pros
The code editor and how everything is optimized for coding allows for truly beautiful e-mail marketing campaigns. SendGrid can accommodate beautiful e-mail templates that were created in HTML/CSS, you just have to know how to code for it to be useful for you.
Cons
They do not have a way to graphically edit particularly easily like with MailChimp.
To make a good looking e-mail marketing campaign you must know how to code, there are not a lot of templates provided for you to edit or drag and drop. It was not intended as a tool if you would like to drag and drop.
On the upside this got us to learn how to code better.

MailchimpReasons for Choosing SendGrid
MailChimp actually gets very pricey after you exceed 2,000 users. MailChimp also lacks the sophistication you need when you start doing more advanced activities companies like Uber and Spotify do. If you see sent by MailChimp you know it's a small business.Switched From

With sendGrid our product can send email alerts to our customers if anything is not working according to their needs.
Pros
It can be easily integrated with your current software. The SendGrid API is very complete, and if you are working on Microsoft Azure, there is already an integration there for your cloud/lambda functions.
Cons
the documentation on how to use it in Microsoft Azure were not cristal clear, so I suffered a bit when I implemented the integration.

I've been using this for several years via Azure marketplace. When I tried to login to the SendGrid website, it forced me to sign-up for 2-factor authentication. That's fair. I appreciate the added security. However, instead of sending the verification code to me, they sent it to some mailbox at Azure that I don't have access to. Therefore, I was unable to log in. I contacted SendGrid support but they told me I had to take it up with Azure. It was easier for me just to replace the service with a new vendor.
Pros
The free version offered via Azure is OK for low-volume applications. You can send emails via the API without being restricted to a specific domain.
Cons
API updates resulted in breaking changes that required me to re-write my code. Authentication schema changes (2FA) created major headaches. It got to the point where I could no longer log in to the SendGrid website to administer my account.

i would recommend sendrgrig to everyone my mum included. It's just the best smtp provider if you consider money and value
Pros
ok this is not a free software but you can get all you want: just smtp or stats and more.. what I really enjoyed was the stats service.. If you run an e-commerce you'll be familiar with the question: "did my customer got the email?" well with sendgrid you can actually answer that question. You'll have a full report and you can easily tell if your customer got the email or something went wrong. This is something just invaluable.
Cons
This is not a pricy software but you need to understand its value. if your business is not big enough maybe it will be hard to sustain. nevertheless i just can say this is the place to look even if you have a small business. unless you want to take the burden of handling smtp this software is just awesome.
Reasons for Choosing SendGrid
This is the best software if you need an affordable secure smtp with stats and cherries on top.Reasons for Switching to SendGrid
