### Most mentioned pros

- An excellent service that despite the somewhat difficult initial curve in understanding all the functions and how to get the most out of it then really becomes a well-structured service with all the necessary functions to control and manage the sending of e-mails.
- Sendgrid is so seamless that if we have send one mail or a million its always reliable and send all mails seamlessly.
- SendGrid has 24/7 customer support, including chat, email, and phone support for premium users.

### Most mentioned cons

- Deliverability can be inconsistent, global blacklist presence affects performance, limited transparency on inbox placement, account issues can take time to resolve
- I wasn't able to completely refactor the integration before the cutoff, so now I have no automation and they deleted all my contacts and my templates, so I get to rebuild ALL of that from scratch.
- Their email automations aren’t very dynamic and aren’t easy to edit after they are set to live, it’s especially frustrating you can’t edit time between emails once an automation is live.

### Great for Analytics and Tracking!

- Reviewer: Michelle S.

- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I like their statistics they provide for the emails. You are able to see all the emails that were sent and any meta data such as if they opened, how many times, or if it failed to send. This allows us to help investigate any issues and or use this data for marketing.

#### Cons

I wish they had a better way for the error handling with handlebars in the email/data received for developers. I wish it would indicate what was wrong in terms of the language. More detail there would help a lot.

### Best email deliverability I've found so far from a new, custom domain

Integrated directly (and was recommended) by Replit for a vibe coded project. Replit was requested to send email and it guided me to sending up a Sendgrid account which was nice and easy.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

A really complete product but with a super simple interface. I needed it for transactional email and I'd say it's deliverability is better than anything I've seen before in terms of reliability.

#### Cons

An extremely minor point but if I had to find a con from my experience so far it would be that navigating the custom domain settings requires a bit of knowledge and research. Personal scenario, if you know what you're doing you'll do fine. Easy enough to muddle your way through.

I really like the ease of use, for various projects I have found it easy to implement for sending emails to confirm the user. I also find the dashboard for managing the mailings and controlling the mailings very good.

Configuration was easy and straightforward. But, if the individual tasked with integrating and implementing SendGrid does not have DNS experience they will need to rely on their DNS administrator to complete the configuration.

Easy to set up, secure and verbose logging and reporting make this an easy choice for SaaS email relaying. While there is a marketing portion to this application, we don't use it so I can't speak of it.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I don't think the email API service has ever had a technical downtime where it doesn't work in the many years we have used it. The API itself is very easy to use and use the least privileges. Integrating the API into your SEIM or reporting platform (Power Bi for example) is also really easy to do and gives verbose information.

#### Cons

Email reputation can be a concern in ensuring your emails are delivered externally unless you want to pay extra, otherwise, the lower tiers are fine and still have decent deliverability %'s, typically above 95%'s.

#### Reasons for switching to SendGrid

Postmark was limited with it's API integrations, reporting and configuration.

We like how there are code snippets, thorough documentation, and multiple-domain support (Something we lacked before)

#### Cons

I'm fond of support that makes you wait for a solution when an issue arises, but errors and documentation is thorough enough it rarely happens.

#### Reasons for choosing SendGrid

We cannot disclose our previous provider, so we did switch but can't say. We chose SendGrid over Mailchimp because it's more for developers and custom solutions. MailChimp is more customer-end-user friendly.

Sendgrid handles all my mailing campaigns and I have stuck with it from day one to date. I like the email deliverability and tracking metrics offered by SendGrid and will stick with it for the foreseeable future as everything works smoothly.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

It was very easy to integrate with my existing stack. SendGrid has really worked hard to make sure it's easy to use their software with other services out there. Most website builders by default ask you to integrate Sendgrid as your emailing service, and that was the case with my website builder. It was really easy for me to get started as all I had to do was add an API key in a provided input field. SendGrid did all the heavy lifting and I did not have to do any coding or even go through the API documentation(which by the way is very comprehensive ). You fill that that is the case in so many services that integrate with SendGrid, integration is light-work.

#### Cons

It is a little expensive, especially when sending a tonne of emails out and having a lot of contacts. Your email totals low-key add up when you have multiple drip campaigns and transactional emails set up. If you have a small budget it's really difficult to get measurable success on SendGrid as I found out when I just started while having a very low budget. The best way to get the best out of SendGrid is with a substantial budget, and that's a bummer when starting out.

#### Reasons for choosing SendGrid

I choose Sendgrid because it was really easy to set up with my stack of Bubble and Zapier without any code of using the API documentation.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

SendGrid is the best option to boost your business ahead or rather your marketing emails; its detailed reports on clicks, opens, subscribers and even spam lets you revise or edit your campaigns and thus increase conversion. SendGrid is best known for its editor, which lets tailor your emails according your needs, both demographic or geographic.

#### Cons

Actually, I become slow to recommend SendGrid due to its limited features of contact management; it does not provide many options compared to Mailchimp. I also did not like its pricing, which determines the quality of your SendGrid dashboard.

#### Reasons for switching to SendGrid

Email editing is somehow limited in Mailchimp

Horrible email sender! We've used SendGrid for nearly 3 years now, and out of nowhere, this weekend they suspended our services claiming our account was exhibiting suspicious behavior. We use SendGrid to support email sending for our online software application. This unexpected and unwarranted outage impacted our clients and operations. We immediately reached out to customer support for assistance and received the most unhelpful and incompetent support, repeatedly being told that the Compliance Team would review our case. In the meantime, we now have to explain to our customers that we are experiencing an outage that we have no control over and no estimation on the resolution. It's incredible that a vendor would suspend services without a single warning email. We have lost complete trust in SendGrid and are now opting to switch to a different email sender.

### SendGrid offers a great transactional email API, but deliverability & support issues hold it back

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

We use SendGrid for transactional emails, such as welcome messages & notifications. Generally, SendGrid offers great tools to integrate emails into a variety of different application platforms and programming languages. We really like its level of detail when checking on the status of emails. Sendgrid is also free for basic transactional emails, which makes it easy to try and ensure it will work with your application. We use a third-party library called Nodemailer with Sendgrid, so switching from a different service to Sendgrid was trivial.

#### Cons

While the service is easy to use and offers comprehensive email activity metrics, there are a few things about it we didn't like. First, because the free tier uses shared IPs, we consistently had emails that wouldn't get delivered because of IP blocks. There were a handful of IPs that we had that experience with, and it persisted for weeks -- without any support intervention. Sendgrid must have deliverability metrics on their side as well, so I am surprised they didn't drop these IPs from their IP pool proactively. We had to upgrade to the PRO plan, which was the least expensive plan that had a dedicated IP. We also had to pay extra for 30 days of email history, you get 3 days by default. I'd love to see all these options be a-la-carte, but I get that you need to make revenue somehow, and few companies send enough emails to justify jumping to the next paid plan -- unless you NEED that deliverability guarantee that you get w/ dedicated IPs, which we did.

### Sendgrid shines on mass mailing, but lacks some required features

Transactional email

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Sendgrid is ready for your scale. From the smallest Saas apps to the largest enterprises, Sendgrid was built with scale in mind. It handles transactional emails very well, and is relatively simple to integrate into your codebase or product workflow. Templates come out of the box, but some coding knowledge is needed to style transactional emails. All templates can be easily versioned. Concerns on security and blacklisting are limited. As long as you follow their recommendations, Sendgrid will deliver your email. Pricing is very fair and generous. In years of use, I've never gone over a plan limit.

#### Cons

Functionality can be limited in interesting ways depending on your plan. On the most basic paid plans, several code features are just missing. Reporting is the most glaring issue, with basic reporting showing only a rolling group of recently sent emails. Without a deeper dive into your logs, you may miss issues. Transactional emails also lack some features that seem required, like weblinks for email and easy native unsubscribe. There are workarounds for both, but not without challenges. Version tracking for templates is also completely missing, unless you use new versions for each edit you make.

### Simplified email service

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Our business application uses Sendgrid for various purposes, including notification, authentication, and transactional data. We migrated from a competitor that was draining our bank accounts and causing a slew of problems. The cost was a good match for our budget and objectives, and the send grid was a perfect fit for us. They provide some handy online manuals to get you started, as well as a variety of configurable options to make sure the device is suitable for you.

#### Cons

It requires greater adaptability and customization tools to be successful in the long run. I couldn't discover a method to adjust automatic track in UTMs; it can only be activated or deactivated, which isn't convenient. The integrating and installation procedure were the most challenging aspects of implementing Sendgrid for us. However, customer assistance and YouTube tutorials were beneficial.
